Early season fitness means riding throughout the winter, even if that includes sessions on the trainer. You could spin away to the usual cacophony of Liggett, Sherwen, et. al while watching old race DVDs, or you could get Elite's Rampa Interactive Trainer and train with focused workouts and reach a new level of fitness. Being an interactive trainer, it lets you get the most from your indoor trainer experience letting you track your fitness goals and virtually race other cyclists also tapped into the apps. Elite's My E-Training includes a host of features to create more interactive trainer sessions, with pre-set programs and power training sessions. It lets you test your fitness to inform personalized training programs, customizable with a user-friendly graphics editor. A mapping feature allows you to map out race courses on Google Maps so you can practice favorite routes in the comfort of your own home and visualize the course so you'll be more prepared for real-life rides. The app also lets you track your data over time and share with friends by exporting rides to your favorite third-party training app. The trainer unit itself looks like a traditional trainer and features a wide footprint to enhance stability, a Fast Fixing clamping mechanism for getting bikes on and off the trainer easily, and a magnetic wheel resistance unit that's automatically managed so you can hit the power numbers you need with a realistic feel. We also really like the Automatic Tension Plate that adjusts to maintain correct pressure between the tire and roller throughout your workouts. This eliminates the possibility of the tire slipping as well as excessive tire wear. Elite's Rampa Interactive Trainer communicates with third-party apps and software, head units, cell phones, and other electronic devices using ANT+ and Bluetooth Smart protocols, allowing it to seamlessly integrate into and enhance your training routine.
