Further product information

With a Pre-Installed Zwift Cog

The new version of the Direto XR series eliminates the cassette thanks to the pre-installed Zwift Cog, offering extensive compatibility with almost all bikes with 8/9/10/11/12-speed transmissions, without the need to adjust the derailleur.

The Zwift system is integrated, allowing for a quick and easy setup. It is perfect for different cyclists as it also gives you the ability to connect various bikes equipped with different speed cassettes to the smart trainer.

If you prefer real shifting provided by a cassette, you can remove the Zwift Cog and install your own 9 to 12-speed cassette, just as you would with a standard Direto XR(-T).

Virtual Shifting with Zwift Click

Shifting is managed by Zwift Click, a two-button controller that allows for silent and instant virtual shifting, adjusting the trainer's resistance to simulate gear changes with 24 pre-set virtual gears.

The system offers a linear unique shifting system adjustable through the "+" and "-" buttons of the Zwift Click, which features a rubber O-ring compatible with any type of road, flat, or time trial handlebar.

Virtual shifting works only on Zwift. For other training apps, change the Zwift Cog to your preferred cassette (cassette not included).

Advanced Data Monitoring with Integrated Power Meter

The Direto XR with Zwift Cog and Click offers advanced power monitoring to maximize your performance and analyze your improvements during bike workouts.

Equipped with an integrated power meter, the OTS (Optical Torque Sensor), this home trainer provides precise power data with an accuracy of ± 1.5%.

With the Direto XR with Zwift Cog and Click, you also have access to four power data display options with the “Power Smoothing” function available on My E-Training. This allows you to achieve a smooth representation of your power data through a stable and synchronized visualization, eliminating any fluctuations.

The practical "Easy Start" function facilitates the resumption of intervals after short pedal breaks, ensuring a comfortable and effective training experience.

The high-speed power meter data reading allows for a quick transition to the Supertuck position during Zwift races. The Direto XR with Zwift Cog and Click can immediately detect when you stop pedaling, allowing Zwift to seamlessly activate the Supertuck for your avatar.

High-Performance with Slopes up to 24%

The Direto XR with Zwift Cog and Click challenges you to push your limits, automatically managing resistance to replicate extreme gradients up to 24%. Get ready to conquer the most demanding climbs like Passo dello Stelvio and Mont Ventoux!

With the support of Elite's gradient simulator with handlebar steering, the Rizer, your training reaches a new level of realism. It features automatic frame movements that simulate climbs and descents for an unprecedented realistic experience, along with the ability to steer the handlebar left or right to faithfully replicate the movements you would make on your outdoor bike.

For even more immersive training, complete the setup with Aria, Elite’s smart fan, which can adjust wind intensity based on your speed, power, heart rate, and body temperature, providing a comfortable, motivating, and realistic environment during your workouts.

Bridge Function for Cadence Sensors and Heart Rate Monitors

The Bridge function for cadence sensors and heart rate monitors allows you to connect a heart rate monitor or cadence sensor directly to the home trainer while being connected to the training software, transmitting the respective data through standard FE-C ANT+ and FTMS BLE protocols.

This function is particularly useful with some platforms (such as Apple TV) that can only support two Bluetooth® Smart sensors simultaneously.

The Direto XR with Zwift Cog and Click is also capable of creating a virtual heart rate monitor if you are using programs that are not compatible with your heart rate monitor’s protocol (e.g., you have an ANT+ monitor but are using a Bluetooth program or device). The home trainer will instantly convert the data from your ANT+ heart rate monitor, transmitting the value via Bluetooth to the app or device you are using.

Mastery of Data with Cadence, Speed, and Power Metrics

The Direto XR immediately provides you with all the main performance metrics for your cycling training, such as speed, power, and especially cadence, without the need for additional sensors on your bike frame, thanks to its advanced sensorless technology. The integrated OTS power meter offers comprehensive data monitoring of your training to help you execute your training plans with maximum precision and effectiveness.

Always Quiet Training

The latest generation of Elite's trainers features a redesigned mechanism that ensures exceptionally quiet workouts. This is also due to the new flywheel design, engineered with aerodynamically optimized rotating components.

Zwift Cog eliminates the need for a cassette, not only simplifying setup but also significantly reducing operational noise during your training sessions. This design refinement ensures that your indoor cycling experience remains as quiet as possible, allowing you to focus solely on your performance without distractions.
