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.
