Lo there.
Just got this mid-range interactive turbo to replace my old non-Smart Tacx. Choice made after reading up on reviews and vids on Youtube - mainly this one from Shane Miller in Aussie'land: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oN6XUlb3pQ
Know it was asking too much but was hoping that Chain Reaction would supply this with the ANT+ dongle, as per the Youtube vid. I knew it didn't come with the front wheel riser like the Tacx units, but thought Ant+ Dongle would be a nice compensation. Nope.
Further surprised that you do not even get a months free Zwift. What gives? Are Elite being tightwads here? Or have Chain Reaction/Wiggle been rifling through the boxes.
Adieu.

The Elite web site tells you exactly what you get with each product. You can get a free trial of Zwift via their web site should you want it. The vendor advert clearly states no ANT+ dongle.
Features:
A smooth, powerful FE-C interactive trainer for those looking to push themselves that bit harder
FE-C smart trainer protocol means that the Rampa will play nicely with a plethora of third party software such as Trainer Road and Zwift via a wireless connection
The Rampa uses an enhanced drive unit with 50% more power on tap compared to the Qubo Digital but an oversized flywheel helps keep everything feeling smooth and realistic
Includes a 6 month subscription to Elite's fully featured My E-training app
Oversized ElastoGel roller has improved tyre grip, lower noise and vibration
Power supply comes with multiple international adaptors, perfect for those on the move
Works with any ANT+ or Bluetooth heart rate belt (not included)
Fits everything from 24" to 29" or 700c wheels
Buy Elite Training from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.I ride a bike. Doesn't make me green or a tree hugger. I drive a car too.0
