This smart trainer usually have heavier flywheels, which have greater rotational inertia,makes you feel like a real outdoor bike ride.The internal resistance of the trainer is automatically adjusted according to the software to sim- ulate the outdoor slopes. Compared with ordinary tire grinding type trainers, skidding phe- nomenon caused by insufficient friction between tires and rubber wheels is very common in high power output.While ThinkRider X5 direct-drive trainer is driven by chain directly, it will not skid at high power output and will not produce rubber debris pollution caused by tire wear. As a smart bike trainer, direct-drive trainer has inherent advanta- ges in power accuracy. The energy loss is relatively small because the chain directly drives the trainer, so the power calculation is ac- curate.We compare ThinkRider X5 with many power meter brands, generally the power difference is around± 2%, as shown in the fi- gure below.
