Vi riporto un estratto della comparativa di DC appena uscita:
Punto l attenzione su due aspetti fondamentali:
1) il suito non ha un PM ma in soldoni non importa nulla (si era già detto), è preciso e va bene...e giustamente fa notare che manco il top dei trianer (neo) lo ha. come si era già detto non lo prenderei come una discriminante in fase di scelta.
2) a lui sta andando tutto bene, nuovo fw, ma già prima era a posto il suo esemplare. Imo chi non incappa in modelli femri nei magazzini ma di produzione recente o futura può star tranquillo (nel rispetto dei normali tassi di rottura ovviamente).
La frase in neretto pensa dica tutto
Now the key difference between the
Elite Direto/Direto X and the Suito is the lack of power meter within it (called OTS by Elite). But keep in mind, having a power meter in it doesn’t really matter. What matters is whether or not it’s accurate. After all – neither the
Tacx NEO or
Wahoo KICKR series have power meters in them, and are just fine with accuracy (in fact, Wahoo even ditched the power meter in theirs years ago due to accuracy issues). Of course, nobody is saying the Direto-X isn’t accurate. It is. It’s incredibly accurate.
But with the latest Suito firmware update that I got last week, it too is pretty darn accurate. I have no issues with it from a Zwift or TrainerRoad standpoint, meaning no issues in regular riding, sprints, or doing ERG mode 30×30’s – all of which can be demanding. That said, Elite does seem to be going through some teething pains with the Suito production – with a few people reporting early units back in September having uneven flywheels and other quirks. The number of complaints seems to have tapered off in recent weeks, and Elite seems to swap out any units pretty quickly if people have issues. It wouldn’t keep me from buying it from any reputable dealer.
All in, I think the Suito is this year’s best value for a trainer, especially if you aren’t really sure what you need or want. Sure, the Wahoo CORE has more inertia and thus slightly better road-feel. But the Elite Suito will basically save you $150 once you factor in the cassette cost. Oh, and the Suito does also include a 30-day free Zwift trial, which is oddly hard to get otherwise (Zwift themselves only offers 20 kilometer free trials, for realz). So again, if you don’t really know what you want, it’s an ideal option to play the field.
