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.
