Comparing Indoor Trainers: Features and Costs Indoor trainers vary significantly in price, from £160 to £3,500. The Antares rollers are the cheapest option at $169.99 but offer minimal features; they require balance and provide a realistic ride feel with an 8/10 score for that category. On the other hand, high-end models like Garmin's Neo Bike Plus boast advanced features such as pedal analysis and customizable fit but come at a steep cost of over £3,000.
Entry-Level Options: Rollers vs Wheel-On Trainers Rollers like Antares prioritize portability and realism while being challenging to master; their total score is 27/50 due to limited usability despite excellent setup ease (8/10). In contrast, wheel-on trainers such as Boost (£229) simplify resistance control via levers yet lack realism (2/10 ride feel), scoring only 18 out of 50 overall.
Smart Training Begins With Flow Trainer 'Flow' introduces smart capabilities for indoor training by connecting apps like Zwift or TrainerRoad while simulating gradients up-to-6%. Priced affordably around £300 compared against others reviewed here—it scores well on value-for-money(8-out-of-ten)—but falls short slightly regarding set-up complexity & marginally better-than-basic riding experience yielding another respectable tally equaling twenty-seven points altogether!
