Nice quality video. Worth to point out you say its heavy, but its light for a direct drive turbo trainer so unless you don't want one that pretty much a given. Secondly they removed the cassette but these are now available at low low prices compared to other trainers-almost all of which don't have cassettes either!
Good point. I suspect the lack of a cassette was a supply chain issue, even my local shops weren't able to source SRAM cassettes just a few months ago.
The trainers are designed to work with nearly any bike (even with fenders on) so as long as your axle spacing matches Elite's various options you should be good. Many bike manufacturers also have warnings against using stationary trainers, so you might want to double check with Canyon.
Yup - it's all built in and should auto-detect from Zwift or other software. You can still override those values using your power meter or cadence sensor if desired though.
Hello. Is it normal that you can not back-pedal (counter-clockwise)? When i do that, the cogs on the trainer does not move and the chain just droops. Sorry, im new to this thing. And thank u
The trainer has a freewheel just like your bike which means you can coast or pedal backwards. In some gears (big front / small rear) your chain is more prone to falling off when backpedaling - it's something that happens on my bike but you should be able to backpedal in most gears without that happening. If you have chain drop issues in a lot of gear ranges you may need to grease up your chain or you may need derailleur adjustments.
Installing a cassette is really straightforward - putting it on a trainer is the same procedure and uses the same tool as a bike. You just need the cassette locking tool and a chain whip - see Park Tools or Pro Bike Tools for those. Zwift is also nearly automatic, everything is connected via Bluetooth / ANT+ and connects nearly instantly while you are on the pairing screen.
Yes. The Suito can be used with a wide variety of hub setups. It looks like a Boost 148 requires a separate adapter though. You can see the full compatibility chart and part number for the adapters here - www.elite-it.com/uploads/document/data/21/ADAPTER-FREEHUB_COMPATIBILITY_2023.pdf
It depends on what features you're looking for. Elite has the Sterzo device (lets you steer side to side) as well as a Rizer (which lets you incline the bike up to simulate hills) but they all come at a premium. Otherwise nearly any direct-drive trainer (the trainers with a cassette) is what I'd recommend over more affordable wheel-on style trainers (wheel spins on a roller - this has more noise and wears out tires).
@@ewewell I think you mean the H3 Direct Drive trainer? Yes - as long as you have a "smart" (something that is controllable via BLE) that will all work with Zwift and give you an interactive workout.
Yes, the brake setup does not really matter here only the axle spacing is important. Elite includes multiple options with the trainer for QR / Thru-Axle setups so unless you have an unusual bike the Suito should be compatible with your bike.
Too heavy to carry???? This is one of the lightest direct drive trainers on the market. If some cyclists cannot easily lift 35 lbs, then they should imediately start doing some weight lifting instead of spending all their time cycling because they have a serious disability.
Yes, the 35lb isn't that heavy but with the handle in the back it's a bit awkward to carry. I think moving the handle or adding a second hand hold would improve things.

Great video, looking to buy a turbo trainer and this was really useful thank you :)
great review!
Great video! thanks. Do you know if Canyon ultimate can fit to suito t?

If i had understood correctly, you get the power (w) and cadence directly from the unit, right? Thanks for your review 😊
Yup - it's all built in and should auto-detect from Zwift or other software. You can still override those values using your power meter or cadence sensor if desired though.

New to the smart trainers crew. How hard is it to install the cassette and set up to Zwift ? Did I mention that I’m not the most tech savvy person😅😅😅

Can I use my mountain bike with boost 148 rear hub, 12mm thru axle?
Yes. The Suito can be used with a wide variety of hub setups. It looks like a Boost 148 requires a separate adapter though. You can see the full compatibility chart and part number for the adapters here - www.elite-it.com/uploads/document/data/21/ADAPTER-FREEHUB_COMPATIBILITY_2023.pdf
Beginner here, what type of device is best used to do the zwift software
It depends on what features you're looking for. Elite has the Sterzo device (lets you steer side to side) as well as a Rizer (which lets you incline the bike up to simulate hills) but they all come at a premium.

@@TheSweetCyclists thank you I think I've found a saris m3 that should work fine am I correct
@@ewewell I think you mean the H3 Direct Drive trainer? Yes - as long as you have a "smart" (something that is controllable via BLE) that will all work with Zwift and give you an interactive workout.
@@TheSweetCyclists I'm not really sure what ble is but I can find out
@@ewewell BLE = Blue Tooth. Nearly any "smart" trainer has that feature which is how Zwift and other training software controls the trainer.
Does it fit brake pads and disk brakes?
Yes, the brake setup does not really matter here only the axle spacing is important. Elite includes multiple options with the trainer for QR / Thru-Axle setups so unless you have an unusual bike the Suito should be compatible with your bike.
@@TheSweetCyclists thank you and again Excellent video.

он не с прямым приводом, а на ременной передаче! а вообще это китайское говно, хоть и сделано технологично.
