shaper Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) what's your budget and you want wheel on or direct drive? Take a look at the Kickr Snap and Kickr Core Edited April 27, 2020 by shaper
RobertWhitehead Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 Your cheapest option from Tacx will be the Blue Matic or Satori smart. I don't know any other brand. They are fairly basic but could work.
DieselnDust Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 cheapest set up for Zwift is a dumb wheel on trainer for about R 1300 + BT speed sensor + BT Cadence Sensor +BT HR strap. All in you looking at about R3500-00 Frantic and Frosty 2
Frosty Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 cheapest set up for Zwift is a dumb wheel on trainer for about R 1300 + BT speed sensor + BT Cadence Sensor +BT HR strap. All in you looking at about R3500-00Don't forget that a laptop/PC/tablet/phone, capable of pairing the BT sensors listed above, is also required. I'm running the setup on my iPhone, and using my Apple Watch for the HR, as the Garmin HRM only transmits via Ant+ DieselnDust 1

All in you looking at about R3500-00Or ANT+ speed & cadence sensors. (If you already have a Samsung phone / tablet you will be able to use ANT+ to link up with Zwift) OK ignore that - in ref to the thread title. Edited April 28, 2020 by Pieter-za

I you can maintain that for any length of time, you'll probably be able to find a sponsor.... MTB-More 1

Sitting on a dumb trainer doing 300w and then getting on a smart controlled trainer doing 300w is VERY diffirent. When that controller kicks in it feels like your legs are being beaten with a stick Edited April 30, 2020 by MTB-More Blinkp and MDJ 2
