Nice review. My user experience turned out to be very similar. For structural training, Suito is very capable and resistance kicks in very smoothly as opposed to Tacx Neo 2. For ride feel, it’s good but nowhere near the Neo 2 level. Riding on Suito feels too “heavy”. Suito does have native thru-axle support which works well with my 2018 BMC Roadmachine. I have to bodge it with Neo 2. I heard 2t improved on thru-axle support. That’s really a good news as that’s the only real complaint I have with Neo 2. Overall, I am satisfied with Suito.

Unfortunately Elite still haven't corrected their power accuracy issues and it's all over the internet (TrainerRoad, Zwift, Elite forums, etc.) people reporting that Elite Suito gives you about 15%-20% lower power numbers. In my own analysis of Elite Suito vs Favero Assioma Uno power readings, I got around 12% lower at 227w/254w; 15% lower at 265w/304w; and 27% lower at 313w/400w (EliteSuito watts / AssiomaFaveroUno watts). This was today, 20th of May 2023. Yes my Elite was calibrated as well as the favero and no there were no updates from Elite software/firmware. Sad really. It's a really good trainer though. Just really really under reports the watts. Take that into account.

@@Frog-ve4kf I could. I tried it using TrainerRoad only, comparing with favero's power. I used Zwift and MyWhoosh in the past and didn't notice much difference from TrainerRoad's presented power from Elite suito. If I find the time I can try to do the same analysis in Zwift, MyWhoosh and/or others, but I doubt I muster the motivation to do that. It's best for me to keep the same power tool indoor and outdoor.
@sethaandewiel92311 ай бұрын
I had this problem too, if you message Elite they can fix this for you. It requires you to test the suito against a power meter and they can calibrate this to the power meter as a control. Makes the trainer work properly, but should work like this out of the box really.

What does make some troubles is calibration, sometimes I had to repeat it several times. Best way to have success calibration was increase speed higher, than by Zwift app requested 37km/h.

Very interesting, thanx for your review! Been looking into smart trainers since last year. This might be the one i'll get myself for this winter ☺ One question though: it looks like there is a lot of lateral movement in/around the axle (see ~1:00 and 6:47). Do you consider this normal and how does the Suito compare to other trainers in this point?

The lateral movement best I can tell is actually the unit going side to side, which is generally a good thing (for the bike and the rider). Pretty normal, some trainers are stiffer than others, but this seems like the right amount.

My 2020 suito arrived Saturday and out of the box there is a loose rattling sound. Sounds more like a bearing ball or screw settling at bottom. I hear it when you tap trainer or move it. I did mount bike and calibrated it to see if flywheel made some noise but seems to be working fine. I do notice trainer is louder than expected but could be chain oil or that it is in garage. Little hard to compare to KZbin videos. Still disappointed that I spent all this money to receive an out of box trainer with potential issues.

I don't expect it to replace the Direto as-is, as the Direto still has OTS (Optical Torque Sensor aka power meter). For Zumo, this does kinda replace that. That product did technically release, though it did so as Performance Bike/Nashbar went under in the US (it was only picked up by a handful of retailers). Some units have ended up in emerging markets for now, but I wouldn't expect to see Zumo re-appear at this point. There were lessons learned from Zumo though that ended up here.

It doesn’t appear you actually watched the video or read the title. It’s not a review, it’s a first impressions the day the product was announced. Changing gearing has nothing to do with a trainer, but your bike and potentially your cassette player installation if you forgot the spacer ring.

TriStas ahh well it’s a pretty good trainer. If you’re zwifting with the cool kids it really helps to smooth out the power numbers. I upped the watt power smoothing to 4 seconds and it helped the power numbers from jumping so much. Although it could just be my shitty pedaling 🤷🏻♂️. I’m happy with it.

I bought a Suito in november and there was a ”rubbing noise” coming from inside the trainer on every revolution of the flywheel. I sent it back and got a new one, same noise. Is this normal?? Has anyone else had this problem? Didn’t hear anything like it in this video. Really a shame because other than that I like the trainer.

I'm curious... I've only managed to connect the trainer to my mac laptop via bluetooth a couple of times and even when it did work it was so buggy. With an ANT dongle connected to the laptop, it connects immediately. Any thoughts?

Are these available in the states? On the elite website it has Todson Inc as the only US distributor but they don't list the Suito. The Direto II is sold out.
@Dcrainmaker5 жыл бұрын
Yup, you can pre-order them now, with the first containers expected to arrive late August in the US, and then hit retailers around the first week of September in the US. Clever Training has them available for pre-order (which is who I partner with), and you can get 10% off and free US shipping with code DCR10BTF (and it helps support the channel): dcra.in/2Ta0IMi - Enjoy!

@DC Rainmaker which one would you choose - the Elite Suito or the Wahoo Kickr Core?
@Dcrainmaker3 жыл бұрын
KICKR CORE. It's silent (Suito isn't), and has more realistic road-feel inertia. But, also costs about $150 more ($100 more for the unit, plus another $50 for a cassette you'll need to buy).

Thanks for your review. One question, As the Drivo came out a few years ago, how does this compare? The drivo had a problem with bouncing power in erg mode, which has never been solved, Has that been solved on this model?
@Dcrainmaker5 жыл бұрын
The ERG mode if faster/better here, it it’s going to be extremely difficult to beat the accuracy of that unit - arguably the best out there.
@singingitman5 жыл бұрын
@@Dcrainmaker Many Thanks, I have the Drivo, picked it up new for £600 UK 12 months ago, I thought better than a wheel on trainer for the same money. I just find in erg mode it can take between 15 and 30 Seconds to settle down on power changes. I found the default smoothing power value was 2, and that level power was all over the place, changing that to 6 improved it greatly but it still takes time to settle, 20 second intervals are out of the question.
@Dcrainmaker5 жыл бұрын
One pro tip though: Be sure to put your bike in the smaller ring in the front for ERG mode. This is true for all trainers, as it helps control the speed which in turn minimizes the oscillating.
@sworks71244 жыл бұрын
Does this trainer need to be calibrated? Also does it have virtual wheel slip like the Neo trainers?
@gplama4 жыл бұрын
There is a spindown procedure within the Elite MyETraining app which should be done every now and then. I find once out of the box (after 10-30mins) is good enough. No virtual tyre slip on this unit.
