Tacx Satori Smart vs JetBlack Z1 Fluid Trainer

[Big J]

I am looking to get myself a indoor trainer and after some research it came down to these 2.

 

Any info to help me decide will be really appreciated.

 

Thanks

I bought the JetBlack fluid trainer a year ago. I had an Elite one before that but not the fluid one. I must say I am very happy with the JetBlack. Its quiet and has a very smooth increase in resistance as you pedal faster. Quite realistic resistance for the speed you are going. It also has a rubber thing around the roller that the wheel sits on so there is no slippage at all and your tyres will last longer than the knurled ones.

 

That said, I have not ridden on the Tacx

Thanks BDF for the feedback

Yeah I'm on the Z1 fluid trainer as well. Suits my needs and wasn't too expensive. There's even one on the hub classified for a steal at the moment:)
