Indoor Bike Trainer Elite Rivo

Indoor Bike Trainer Elite Rivo

Elite Rivo is a modern interactive direct-drive smart trainer combining advanced training features, intuitive operation and excellent value. It is an ideal choice for cyclists taking their first steps into indoor training as well as experienced riders seeking an effective home training solution. With ±2.5% estimated power accuracy, automatic gradient simulation up to 18%, electronically controlled resistance and built-in Wi-Fi, Rivo delivers realistic virtual rides and structured workouts in a compact package. Its quiet operation makes it particularly suitable for use at home.

The electronically controlled magnetic resistance automatically responds to training app instructions and changes in virtual terrain. Maximum resistance reaches 2000 W at 40 km/h, while the 4 kg flywheel helps maintain smooth, natural pedalling. Power estimation with ±2.5% accuracy allows riders to track progress, complete structured intervals and compare workout performance. Easy Start simplifies restarting ERG-mode intervals after short pauses. For Zwift Supertuck, the reported power rapidly drops to zero when pedalling stops, enabling the virtual rider to adopt an aerodynamic descending position.

Rivo supports Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and Zwift Protocol BLE. Integrated 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi allows the trainer to connect to a home network, communicate with compatible training applications and receive automatic firmware updates. Dual Bluetooth enables two devices, such as a cycling computer and training app, to connect simultaneously. The Bridge function allows a heart rate monitor or cadence sensor to connect through the trainer and forward its data via a single Bluetooth FTMS connection. This is particularly useful with Apple TV and other devices that have limited simultaneous Bluetooth connections.

The trainer offers two stand-alone operating modes for riding without an active app connection or external power. When connected to mains power, a gradient of up to 18% can be preset using My E-Training and maintained without an ongoing software connection. When training without electricity, one of 16 resistance levels can be configured in advance. These functions make it possible to train beyond a conventional connected indoor setup.

Elite Rivo accommodates road, gravel, mountain and city bikes. Included adapters support 5 × 130–135 mm quick-release and 12 × 142 mm thru-axle configurations. Optional adapters extend compatibility to Boost, Super Boost and Specialized SCS standards. The standard freehub body supports Shimano/SRAM 9–11-speed, Shimano 12-speed road, and SRAM SX and NX 12-speed cassettes. Optional Shimano Micro Spline, Campagnolo and SRAM XD/XDR freehub bodies are also available.

Rivo is compatible with Zwift Cog and Click virtual shifting. To use this system, replace the conventional cassette with a Zwift Cog and install the Zwift Click controller on the handlebar. This enables virtual gear shifting on Zwift without mechanical shifting. Rivo also supports Zwift Ride. Zwift Cog and Click are optional accessories and are not included with this standard version.

For an even more immersive experience, Rivo works with the Elite Rizer gradient simulator, which raises and lowers the bicycle's front end and supports steering in compatible applications. The Elite Aria smart fan automatically adjusts airflow according to training data. Rivo also supports the Elite Square smart frame, featuring seven adjustment points for the saddle, handlebar, top tube and crank arms. Up to five individual user profiles can be saved with different virtual drivetrain configurations.

Its lightweight, compact and foldable design makes daily use and storage straightforward. Inspired by the practicality of the Elite Suito, Rivo features an even slimmer and lighter construction. Folding legs reduce its storage footprint, while an integrated carrying handle makes transportation easy. The trainer weighs just 10 kg and measures 52 × 16 × 49 cm when folded.

Developed in collaboration with Adriano Design, Rivo is engineered for durability, stability, easy maintenance and reduced environmental impact. Recycled materials are incorporated into its construction, with 46% of the plastic made from pre-consumer recycled materials. This helps reduce the use of fossil-based raw materials without compromising quality or durability. A 12-month Elite My E-Training subscription is included, providing tools to plan, monitor and analyse workouts.

Note: This is the standard Elite Rivo version. Zwift Cog and Click are not included. Virtual shifting requires these accessories to be purchased separately and Zwift Cog to be installed instead of a conventional cassette. Cassette compatibility depends on the bicycle drivetrain; the supplied product information does not explicitly confirm that a cassette is included.
