About this listen

Winter is coming… and it’s trainer season again.

We're back on the hunt for a new indoor trainer — but this time, not making the same mistakes we did when we bought our current ones (RIP Tacx Flux S). Like a lot of riders, we chose our trainers based mostly on price… and that was a mistake.

If you’re serious about getting stronger this winter — chasing FTP gains, dialing in your threshold work, or just building a solid base before race season — there’s one overlooked factor that should guide your decision more than anything else:
Power Accuracy.

We make a case for why accuracy matters more than price, brand, or flywheel weight — and how that ±1–5 % number you see on the box actually changes your training results. Plus, we rank all the major trainers into different tiers.

We’ll cover:

  • What trainer accuracy really means
  • How it affects your intervals and zones
  • Brand breakdowns from cheapest to most expensive

• Van Rysel D100
• JetBlack Victory
• Elite Direto XR-T
• Wahoo KICKR Core 2 / V6 / MOVE
• Garmin Tacx Flux 2 / NEO 2T / NEO 3M
• Saris M2 Smart Trainer
