Further product information

Zwift Ready with Pre-Installed Cog & Click

Avanti with Zwift Cog & Click is a Zwift Ready smart trainer by Elite, fully equipped with pre-installed Cog and Click, giving you instant access to all the features of Zwift’s virtual shifting system from the very first ride.

The Zwift Cog simplifies setup and ensures wide compatibility with 8 to 12-speed drivetrains, without requiring derailleur adjustments. The Cog can also be removed, allowing you to install a standard 9 to 12-speed cassette and use the trainer with any other training platform.

The Zwift Click, which mounts easily to any handlebar, lets you control resistance and shift through 24 virtual gears - smoothly and quietly.

To get you started right away, Zwift offers special deals or dedicated initiatives to support your first training sessions.

Integrated Power Meter: Precision-Based Performance

Avanti measures your power data with high accuracy, thanks to the integrated OTS (Optical Torque Sensor) power meter, which delivers an accuracy of ±1%.

It offers four power display options in ERG mode, available in the My E-Training app via the Power Smoothing function.

The Easy Start function helps you get back into intervals after short pauses, keeping your ride smooth and consistent.

With Supertuck mode, the trainer instantly drops power data as soon as you stop pedaling, enabling immediate aerodynamic positioning on Zwift.

Enhanced Connectivity with Integrated Wi-Fi

Avanti features enhanced connectivity with built-in Wi-Fi, designed to connect your trainer directly to your home network and let you ride without interference on all training apps.

The Wi-Fi module supports 2.4 GHz wireless networks and allows the trainer to automatically search for and install firmware updates.

Configuration is required only once via the setup guide. After that, the system automatically checks for new firmware updates.

Once paired with your Wi-Fi network, the trainer automatically reconnects each time you turn it on.

High-Speed Data Transmission

Avanti reads power, speed, and cadence data at a frequency of 10 Hz, one of the highest available on the market.

This fast data transmission ensures immediate synchronization with training apps, which is especially crucial during online races, and is supported via both Bluetooth® and wired TCP-IP connections like the Elite Gateway.

Compatible with Any App

Want to switch setups? Just remove the Zwift Cog and install a standard cassette to use Avanti in its default configuration.

The trainer is compatible with virtually any indoor cycling app, such as My E-Training, Zwift, MyWhoosh, Rouvy, Kinomap, Bkool, and others, via ANT+ FE-C, Bluetooth®, and Wi-Fi, allowing complete control from a computer, smartphone, bike computer, or smartwatch.

Smart by Design

With Avanti, training has no barriers. Its compact frame and integrated handle make it easy to move and reposition at any time.

The trainer comes fully assembled and ready to go. Its Plug & Play setup means you only need to unfold the legs, attach your bike with the included adapters and freehub bodies, and connect the power.

A built-in storage drawer keeps adapters neatly organized and within reach.

High Climbs with 18% Gradients

Avanti automatically manages resistance to simulate gradients up to 18% during your climbing workouts.

It can also be paired with Rizer, Elite’s gradient simulator with integrated steering, which tilts your bike uphill and downhill for the most realistic indoor riding experience.

Complete your setup with Aria, the smart fan that adjusts airflow to your training data, giving you the right level of comfort and realism for every workout.

Square Reinvents Your Indoor Setup

Avanti is also compatible with Square, Elite’s smart frame with advanced virtual shifting, allowing you to replicate your outdoor bike’s setup down to every detail.

Simply remove the Cog and install Square, which is adjustable to your bike’s exact dimensions. This gives you a tailored indoor training experience, just like riding your real bike.

Square offers seven adjustment points across the saddle, handlebar, top tube, and crankarms.

You can also share the frame with other riders, configuring up to five profiles via the app - each with a personalized drivetrain and gear setup.

Dual Bluetooth® Channel and Sensor Bridge for Cadence and Heart Rate Monitors

Avanti features dual Bluetooth® channels, allowing you to connect two Bluetooth® devices at the same time - such as a bike computer and a training app.

The sensor bridge functionality enables you to connect a heart rate monitor or cadence sensor to the trainer while remaining connected to your training software. This way, all data is sent over a single connection using standard FE-C ANT+ and FTMS BLE protocols. This is especially useful on Apple TV, which only supports two Bluetooth® Smart sensors at once.

Avanti can also create a virtual heart rate strap if your existing heart rate monitor is not compatible with your app - for example, if you have an ANT+ strap but your platform only supports Bluetooth®.

Improve Your Pedaling with Flex Feet

The black Flex Feet included with Avanti are designed to optimize your pedal stroke, allowing for 4.5° of micro-oscillation that mimics your bike’s natural motion.

Biomechanical testing shows that micro-oscillations on smart trainers improve muscle engagement in the shoulders, back, glutes, and quads.

If you prefer a softer feel, you can purchase the red Flex Feet from the shop, offering an increased oscillation angle of 7°.

Freedom to Train Anywhere

Avanti offers two stand-alone modes, giving you total freedom to train - even without power or apps.

When powered, you can pre-set a gradient of up to 18% via the app. Without power, you can select one of 16 resistance levels ahead of time for outdoor or power-free workouts.

Electronic Compatibility with Shimano Di2 Shifting

Thanks to its integration with Shimano Di2®, your smart trainer becomes even more versatile - especially when paired with a bike using electronic shifting.

Just activate the “Pairing Shimano Di2®” function in My E-Training, and you’ll be able to manage resistance in stand-alone mode (when plugged in) or pause the brake for 60 seconds while riding in apps, simply by pressing the buttons on your Di2 shifters.

Compatible models:

Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 9200 12-speed
Shimano Ultegra Di2 8100 12-speed

The following models require the addition of a wireless unit EW-WU101 or EW-WU111 to enable ANT+ and Bluetooth® use:

Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 9100 11-speed
Shimano Ultegra Di2 8000 11-speed

The Secret to a Perfect Pedal Stroke

Avanti supports the Pedaling Analysis feature, allowing you to monitor your power output across 24 points of the pedal stroke.

With two distinct graphs, you can track variations in force, assess pedaling coordination, stroke smoothness, and mechanical efficiency, helping you fine-tune your performance indoors or outdoors.

This feature is available as an add-on in the My E-Training software. An active subscription is required to use it.

Innovation Meets Sustainable Design

Avanti combines racing-level performance with sustainability, in line with today’s environmental standards for manufacturing.

Its frame is made with regenerated plastic components, following a circular production model that limits fossil material use from the design stage. 50% of Avanti’s plastic parts are made from pre-consumer recycled plastic.

The Trainer of WorldTour Teams

Avanti is the trainer of choice for some of the strongest pro cycling teams in the world.

Thanks to its advanced features, it’s the go-to tool for training camps, warm-ups, and time trial prep at top races like the Giro d’Italia, Tour de France, and Vuelta a España.

In 2025, the teams using Avanti include: Bahrain-Victorious, Arkea-B&B Hotels, Intermarché–Wanty, Team Picnic PostNL, Jayco AlUla, FDJ-Suez, UAE Team ADQ, Fenix-Deceuninck, Canyon-SRAM, and many more.
