edited September 2017 in Indoor training and turbo forum
Following my Neo dying recently, and having experienced numerous issues with several other smart trainers i have tried, i have lost faith in smart turbos and have now decided to look for a more basic trainer to complement the current set of rollers i have.

Not really bothered by direct drive or wheel on, but looking for the quietest with the best road feel.

Would welcome any suggestions.

    Elite Turbo muin is quite, direct mount with or without B+ smart function

    very happy with mine, easily hear tv/radio/zwift backing music over it.

    Elite Kura. Direct mount, fluid resistance unto 1400 watts, ANT+ and Bluetooth connectivity with built in power meter that is damned accurate.
    I ride a bike. Doesn't make me green or a tree hugger. I drive a car too.

    Thanks for the suggestions. Have been looking at the Elite Muin and also the kura. Looks like the only difference is the power meter in the Kura - or am i missing anything?

    Has any one heard of the Elite Turno? Is it replacing the Kura? Cant find much info about it.

    Turno is for mountain bikes. Kura which replaced the Muin, hasn't been replaced yet. The Direto has just been released to sit below the Drivo but is a full on smart trainer.

    Ah right. Thanks, that makes sense.

    Think i am swaying towards the Kura.

    Have you seen this? Silent. No tyre wear even.
