Verdict

The Elite Direto XR is a reliable and accurate smart trainer that provides a good ride feel and includes accessories like a cassette and ride blocks, making it a good value for its price. It has level adjustment feet and requires the manual wheel size to be set to 173 millimeters for correct speed and estimated distance. While it calculates cadence instead of measuring it directly, it performs decently in this aspect. The trainer works well with ANT+ setup and provides a smooth and responsive experience in ERG mode. It is easy to set up and pair with apps like Zwift, making it a great product for beginners. However, some users have reported issues with the trainer and have had to contact the company for replacements or repairs. Overall, the Elite Direto XR is a highly recommended turbo trainer.

Specs Inaccurate. Don’t buy.

I bought this trainer because I was happy with my first Drivo. The direto XR claimed to have greater resistance at steeper grades. On Zwift when the grade goes above 12% (half of claimed max) the resistance on trainer feels like your tire is slipping out. And there is no increased resistance. Actual...

Road like feel and very quiet.

Have ridden it a few times paired with TrainRoad and love it. Very quiet, I can watch TV without headphones. It was missing the front wheel block, a real annoyance but I bought mine from REI and they were able to send me a replacement.

Update 2. Works great with ANT+, but not bluetooth. Also, great with Zwift.

Update 2. Everything works super well with ANT+ setup. Rides with Zwift are great: resistance ramps up and down smoothly with changes in grade on the screen. I don't want to review Zwift here, but I'm really surprised at how well this trainer and Zwift work together, and equally surprised at the qua...

I waited for a long time to upgrade from my awful Kinetic by Kurt trainer. I finally gave up waiting for deal (damn pandemic) and bought the Direto. I wanted a Wahoo Kicker Core, but this with its higher spec, included cassette and adapters seemed the better deal. No regrets. I've put ~70mi on it no...
