Indoor Bike Trainer Elite Avanti

Indoor Bike Trainer Elite Avanti

Elite Avanti is an advanced interactive direct-drive smart trainer that combines premium training features with accessible, user-friendly design. Its integrated power meter with ±1% accuracy, gradient simulation up to 18%, built-in Wi-Fi and automatic calibration make it suitable for cyclists of all levels, from beginners to competitive riders. Quiet operation also makes Avanti an excellent choice for indoor training at home.

The electronically controlled magnetic resistance automatically responds to training software, delivering up to 2100 W at 40 km/h. A 4 kg flywheel produces smooth, realistic pedalling, while automatic calibration maintains measurement accuracy without manual intervention. Race Mode supports responsive virtual racing, and Easy Start makes restarting ERG intervals after brief pauses easier. Power Smoothing provides four power display settings, while support for Zwift Supertuck instantly reduces reported power to zero when pedalling stops.

Avanti supports ANT+ FE-C, Bluetooth FTMS and Wi-Fi. Built-in Wi-Fi connects directly to your home network and enables automatic firmware updates. Dual Bluetooth allows two devices to connect simultaneously, such as a cycling computer and training app. For a stable wired connection, the optional Elite Gateway Wired Ethernet Dongle connects the trainer to a router or computer. Avanti works with Zwift, MyWhoosh, Rouvy, Kinomap and Elite My E-Training, and includes a 12-month My E-Training subscription.

Two stand-alone training modes allow workouts without an active app connection or external power. When plugged in, a gradient of up to 18% can be preset and maintained offline. Without mains power, one of 16 resistance levels can be configured in advance. The Bridge function forwards heart rate or cadence sensor data through a single trainer connection and can create a virtual Bluetooth heart rate monitor. With compatible Shimano Di2 shifters, riders can adjust stand-alone resistance or temporarily pause braking resistance for 60 seconds during app-controlled sessions.

The included black Flex Feet provide 4.5° of lateral movement, following the bicycle's natural sway for improved comfort. Softer red Flex Feet are available separately. Avanti is also compatible with the Elite Rizer gradient simulator, Aria smart fan and Square smart frame. Square provides seven fit adjustments and up to five user profiles. After the appropriate firmware update, Avanti supports Zwift Cog and Click virtual shifting with separately purchased accessories and can be used with Zwift Ride.

The compact frame arrives fully assembled for simple plug-and-play setup. Unfold the legs, attach a compatible bicycle using the appropriate adapters and connect the power supply. An integrated carrying handle and adapter storage drawer make transport and organisation easier. Avanti supports road, gravel, mountain and city bikes. Developed with Adriano Design, the durable construction contains more than 50% pre-consumer recycled plastic, reducing the need for new raw materials.
