Classic or smart trainer: differences

Trainers

A smart trainer can send data and change resistance. A classic trainer usually cannot be controlled by the app.

Recommended steps

  • Use a smart trainer if you want ERG or automatic resistance changes.
  • With a classic trainer you can train, but you will need to measure effort another way.
  • Do not expect VinApp to control a trainer that is not interactive.
  • If you have a power meter on the bike, you can use it as the power source.
  • Always review which sensors appear when searching in VinApp.
  • If you are unsure before buying, ask in the community.
