Blog: Twitter: Strava: Hi everyone and Merry Christmas again! As many of you know, I have been using my new Elite Volare Mag Turbo Trainer for a few weeks now whilst the weather outside has been too bad to get out and ride. I had a few hours spare today after finishing up on all the leftover Turkey from Christmas day and decided to make a fairly in depth video about it. It covers how to set it up, the noise levels it creates and I mention a few pros & cons I have found with it so far. So, why not sit back, relax and check it out? It might even convince you to shell out a few £££'s on a similar training tool and set you off on the right foot for your New Year's Fitness/Training resolutions!:) Please feel free to rate the video and leave any comments or experiences you may have with similar equipment.
There are more videos and reviews coming all the time so be sure to check back regularly or subscribe to stay up to date! Until next time, enjoy the remainder of Christmas. Look forward to New Year and train safe!
The Elite Volare Mag Lite is a minor faff to set up, requiring the use of an additional socket to complement the supplied Allen key. It isn't expensive, but the build quality, although appearing a tad flimsy, is nonetheless good. Even with our tester’s 6ft 3in and 13 stone frame, it coped admirably with only a minimal amount of flexing. You probably wouldn’t want to be doing out-of-the-saddle sprints on it, but if they form part of your training then you’d probably be spending a bit more on a trainer anyway. As with all of the Elite trainers, it whirrs away with a pleasantly quiet purr and at lower resistance levels feels silky smooth.
We couldn’t really see the point of non-remote adjustable resistance and couldn’t imagine clambering on and off mid-workout to adjust it. We reckon, as it did also suffer slightly from magnetic stickiness at the top of the range, you’d simply leave it set on a low-mid resistance and use your gears. With this in mind, Elite could surely simply ditch the adjustment and produce a gem of a trainer for under £100. A couple of years ago, a trainer costing this little would have been a noisy and flimsy horror, but the Elite is amazingly good. Unsurprisingly for such a budget model there's no training feedback.
