The Basics:Įlite has taken the Suito ‘pull it out of the box and done’ concept from last year, and applied it to the XR. Just throw it at the ground and plug it in: Done.

#SAVAGE XR HACKS INSTALL#

So nothing further to install or dork with. There’s a power cord, which measures 2.5 meters:Ītop that there’s the front wheel block, which helps keep your front wheel straight, as well as makes the rest of the bike even in height.Īs noted, it has the cassette on it, and it also has all the legs pre-connected.

There’s also the axle adapters for thru-axle and standard quick release, plus two spacers in the event you need to swap out the cassette.Īnd down below there’s the quick release skewer, and various freebies.Īlso included is a 30-day trial on Zwift, and the manual you won’t read:

In any case, with all the things on the table you’ve got a pile of freebie codes for various apps, including a free 30-day card for Zwift, as well as some paper manuals you’ll never read. Sorry if I get excited about these things – but I’ve unboxed a lot of trainers over the years, and manufacturers come up with some pretty “special” ways of getting trainers out of boxes. While the box tells you to point it upwards, it’s actually going to slide out from the side once you remove the top, which, works exceedingly well. I ended up having to move it out of the way. So much so that it actually hit my overhead camera rig I use for smaller watch unboxings in my video. Though, the box is bigger (because, the Direto XR is bigger). While the Suito was pretty darn close last year to the perfect trainer unboxing, this one just seems a tiny bit more polished somehow. Unboxing:įinally, an Elite unboxing that’s flawless. – Integrated Power Meter (OTS), with accuracy claim of +/- 1.5% – Max 2,300w supported resistance (at 40KPH), 1,100w 20KPH – Cassette compatibility of 8 through 12 speed cassettes (adapters required for XD/XDR/NX/Campy)

– Dual ANT+/Bluetooth Smart support, including FE-C and FTMS, plus power/speed/cadence broadcasting

Which, in turn gets us to the quick overall specs: In any case, that’s not a hugely long list of new things, but some of the items in it are big ticket ones – notably the inclusion of a cassette, but also the increased grade simulation.

So in reality it’s 5.1kg (not 4.5kg as originally announced), thus making it 21.5% higher than the Direto X.Įlite says this makes a 26% larger inertia amount:ĭireto X Moment of Inertia = 15800 kgxmm2ĭireto XR Moment of Inertia = 19930 kgxmm2 They’re updating their specs now to conform to how it’s usually spec’d.

#SAVAGE XR HACKS UPDATE#

Update July 31st, 2020: There was a mistake in the original flywheel specs/sheets from Elite, which didn’t actually include the weight of the discs. – Trainer is now fully assembled out of box (no attaching legs or cassette anymore) – New ERG mode algorithm with increased responsiveness/stability – Increased flywheel from 4.2kg/9.2lbs to 5.1kg/11.2lbs – Increased grade simulation from 18% to 24% – Cassette now included (11-speed Shimano/SRAM compatible) Also, we’ll recap some general spec stuff too: Just the way I roll! What’s New:īefore we dive into all the usual review stuff, let’s just do a super quick recap of what’s changed between the Elite Direto X, and the newer Direto XR. Until then, whack that play button below to get the whole skinny in one tidy video:Īnd for everything else, you can continue swiping down through piles and piles of text and photos. Once I’m done with it, I’ll get it packaged up and back to Elite. I’ve been using a media loaner Direto XR for a few weeks now on a number of workouts, including Zwift and TrainerRoad, putting it to the test to see how it handles everything from shorter rides to longer ones – including climbing Mont Ventoux in Zwift. Depending on which region you’re in, it’s either already available to order and ship today, or it’s on a boat. Oh – and they’ve taken a page from Wahoo’s playbook this year: The Direto XR is shipping as of today. As usual, it comes with a front wheel block. In addition to the included 11-speed cassette and ramped up internals, the unit also increases the flywheel weight as well – from 4.2kg to 5.1kg. Of course, that added power comes at a slight increase in price – now $949, but it now includes the cassette pre-installed, saving you money there.

But in doing so, this more powerful Direto kills off the Drivo series trainers from Elite, which were Elite’s prior top-dog trainers. For example, it’ll now replicate grades of 24%. The Elite Direto XR continues the lineage of the Direto trainer brand, but significantly ramps up the capabilities of the trainer.
