Indoor Bike Trainer Elite Avanti With Zwift Cog and Click V2

Indoor Bike Trainer Elite Avanti With Zwift Cog and Click V2

The Elite Avanti With Zwift Cog and Click V2 is an advanced interactive direct-drive smart trainer that combines accurate power measurement, automatic resistance control and Zwift virtual shifting. This Zwift Ready version comes with a pre-installed Zwift Cog and Zwift Click controller, allowing riders to start virtual training without fitting a conventional cassette. Its integrated power meter with ±1% accuracy, gradient simulation up to 18%, built-in Wi-Fi and high-speed 10 Hz data transmission make it an excellent choice for structured workouts and competitive virtual racing.

The electronically controlled magnetic resistance automatically responds to training app instructions, delivering up to 2100 W at 40 km/h. A 4 kg flywheel provides smooth and realistic pedalling, while the integrated power meter ensures reliable training data. Automatic calibration maintains measurement consistency without requiring manual adjustments. Avanti is also exceptionally quiet, making it well suited to indoor training at home.

The pre-installed Zwift Cog simplifies bike installation and provides broad compatibility with 8–13-speed drivetrains, avoiding the need to change cassettes or readjust the rear derailleur when switching between compatible bikes. The included Zwift Click V2 provides convenient handlebar control of virtual shifting, steering, menu navigation and Ride Ons. Zwift Cog is removable, allowing riders to install a conventional 9–12-speed cassette for use with other cycling applications.

Avanti supports ANT+ FE-C, Bluetooth FTMS and Wi-Fi connectivity. Built-in Wi-Fi enables direct connection to a home network and automatic firmware updates. Dual Bluetooth allows two devices, such as a cycling computer and a training app, to connect simultaneously. For particularly reliable data transmission, the optional Elite Gateway Wired Ethernet Dongle provides a wired connection to a router or computer.

The trainer features Easy Start, making it easier to resume ERG-mode intervals after short pedalling pauses. Power Smoothing provides four selectable power display settings, while Race Mode delivers fast 10 Hz data transmission for virtual racing. The Zwift Supertuck function instantly reduces reported power to zero when pedalling stops, allowing Zwift to recognise the rider's aerodynamic descending position without delay.

Avanti offers two stand-alone training modes. When connected to mains power, a gradient of up to 18% can be preset and maintained without an active app connection. When training without external power, one of 16 resistance levels can be selected beforehand. These options make it possible to train even without an internet connection or electricity.

The included black Flex Feet provide 4.5° of lateral movement, allowing the trainer to follow the bicycle's natural side-to-side motion. This reduces the rigid feeling of fixed indoor trainers and improves comfort during longer sessions. Softer red Flex Feet are available separately for riders who prefer more lateral movement.

The Bridge function allows heart rate monitors and cadence sensors to connect through the trainer, forwarding their data to training apps via a single ANT+ FE-C or Bluetooth FTMS connection. This is especially useful with devices such as Apple TV, where the number of simultaneous Bluetooth sensor connections is limited. Avanti can also create a virtual Bluetooth heart rate monitor. Shimano Di2 pairing enables compatible electronic shifter buttons to control resistance in powered stand-alone mode or temporarily pause braking resistance for 60 seconds during app-controlled training.

Avanti integrates with Elite's wider indoor cycling ecosystem. The Elite Rizer gradient simulator raises and lowers the bicycle's front end according to virtual terrain and enables steering in supported applications. The Elite Aria smart fan adjusts airflow according to training data. The trainer is also compatible with the Elite Square smart frame and Zwift Ride. To install Square, remove the Zwift Cog and mount the frame using its dedicated sprocket. Square provides seven fit adjustments and allows up to five user profiles with individual virtual drivetrain configurations.

The compact, robust construction arrives fully assembled and ready for a simple plug-and-play setup. Just unfold the legs, attach the bicycle using the appropriate adapters and connect the power supply. An integrated carrying handle makes transportation easy, while a built-in drawer keeps adapters organised and protected. Avanti accommodates road, gravel, mountain and city bikes with multiple axle configurations. Developed in collaboration with Adriano Design, its structure contains more than 50% pre-consumer recycled plastic, combining durability with environmentally responsible material choices.
