BKOOL Smart PRO Trainer Compatible with PC, Apple Mac, and iPads - 1200 WattsMany of us at the Olympics love the traditional elements of cycling. Mechanical drivetrains, wool arm warmers, and steel frames. Some things have been around for so long because they just work. When it comes to alleviating the boredom of indoor training, though, we say bring on the innovations. BKOOL happily obliges with the Electronic Training System Premium Trainer, which translates real rides into virtual terrain and actually makes indoor training a social event. With the optional 3D World subscription, you can compete with up to 100 other athletes at a time, creating your own virtual peloton with leagues, challenges, and rankings over more than 500,000 routes. The 3D World software is also capable of translating routes from GPS files into virtual routes, including landmarks, foliage, and structures. Or, you can upload a video of your favorite route and use it as scenery for your winter training sessions. With a corresponding GPS file, the trainer will match the climbs and descents. One of our favorite features of 3D World is that you can start any of the 500,000+ routes and find yourself riding with other people. That's right: you choose a course, start riding, and encounter strangers. Just like in the real world. Plus, you can engage an optional voice chat feature to have actual conversations with any riders within 50 meters of your virtual position on the virtual course. Now for the usual trainer info, none of which requires a subscription to 3D World. Since it can provide up to 1200 watts of resistance, the BKOOL is capable of simulating gradients over 20%. Grade changes are handled seamlessly, too, so there aren't any surprise jolts of sudden resistance and you won't find yourself spinning with no resistance after completing a climb. The BKOOL Trainer also records your data to the cloud, so you can analyze workouts, tailor training programs, map work zones, and create fitness tests. The trainer's power doesn't come at the expense of a noisy workout.
ππππππππππ ππππππ: A cleaner design, lighter and easier to transport yet still a resilient unit, which allows you to kick out up to 1,200 watts if you should wish
πππππππππππππ: more versatile than ever as it is compatible with PC, Apple Mac, and iPads. Never get bored training indoors again with over 500,000 routes to choose from, so you can explore somewhere new each ride
ππ ππππ: More realistic than ever before, the new version offers a 3D mode, which immerses you in the action, whether that be on the road or in a velodrome (3D and video simulator require a Bkool Premium account membership)
ππππππ π πππππππππππππ: The Spotify compatibility will be a welcome addition. Premium users of the music streaming service can log into their Spotify account from settings. Once in, you are able to select some playlists and they will be played while you are riding on any session. While in the session, you have some quick settings to stop, skip to the next song, and other basic controls
ππππ ππππππ: The Pro Turbo Trainer is incredibly quiet, producing a mere 66 dB (a conversation ranges from 40-70dBA) at 35km/h. This can be reduced further with the use of a mat (sold separately), which is also a good idea for preventing sweat or the trainer from causing any harm to the surface you set up on
