SKU Description
- Featuring a larger flywheel than previous Direto models, the Direto XR-T can simulate up to an incredible 24% maximum gradient. Power training even during the most intense sessions, with the Direto XR-T you can follow all your training plans, perform tests to evaluate your fitness, and engage in intervals and sprints at maximum speed and power.
- Anywhere and anytime, with a few simple steps, just set the route or training program and start pedaling: Direto XR-T takes care of everything else, automatically varying the resistance and managing your training according to your needs.
- All Elite trainers immediately transmit power, speed and pedalling cadence data, making them truly effective tools for building a precise training plan and replicating road pedalling as closely as possible.
Product Description
The Direto XR-T is Elite's top-of-the-line cassette-less home trainer, a precise trainer compatible with a wide variety of bike models. With an accuracy of 1.5% guaranteed by the integrated OTS power meter, the Direto XR-T immediately rockets to the top of the Elite home trainer collection thanks to an increasingly smooth pedal stroke and hyper-realistic slope simulation, capable of replicating climbs of up to a staggering 24%. The Direto XR and Direto XR-T are two identical home trainer models, equipped with the same technical features in both structural and electronic terms. What sets these two home trainers apart is the cassette, which is included in the Direto XR but not in the Direto XR-T. What makes the Direto XR and Direto XR-T the most precise in the Elite home trainer catalog is the integrated power meter, the OTS (Optical Torque Sensor). The power meter allows the hometrainer to directly measure power output during your workouts with an accuracy of +/- 1.5%, one of the highest on the market. The DIRETO XR-T is an interactive hometrainer and can therefore automatically vary resistance while you train. Like all Elite direct-drive hometrainers, the Direto XR-T is fully interactive, communicating with all software via ANT+™ FE-C and Bluetooth. The hometrainer can be managed with Elite's My E-Training software (available free for 12 months) or with other indoor cycling platforms such as Zwift, TrainerRoad, Bikevo, Rouvy, Kinomap, and many more. The Direto XR-T is one of the hometrainers compatible with Rizer, our slope simulator with steering. With Rizer, you can simulate climbs and descents in real time, training in a truly immersive way thanks also to the steering function, which allows you to move the handlebars as if you were tackling a real climb. The other Elite home trainers compatible with the Rizer are the Suito, Suito-T, Direto XR, and Tuo. Pedaling analysis is a feature available exclusively for the top-of-the-line models in Elite's interactive home trainer catalog, which includes the Direto XR-T. This feature monitors the cyclist's power output, measuring it at 24 points throughout the entire pedaling cycle. Two different graphs display the variation in power output during pedaling, the coordination of the pedaling as a result of the combined work of the extensor and flexor muscles, as well as the smoothness of the pedaling and the mechanical efficiency of the performance. The pedaling analysis feature is available for a fee within Elite's My E-Training software. Cadence measurement is performed using convenient sensorless technology, meaning no sensors are required to be applied to the bike, and for the Direto XR-T, it is based on a sophisticated analysis of the power output measured by the integrated OTS power meter.
