![]() Though now this fall we’ve seen Zwift offer that with more and more trainers. Back in July that was actually fairly unique. Next, there’s the free 30-day trial of Zwift. ![]() You can install any 9/10/11 speed cassette you want on it. So if you have a 10-speed bike, you’ll need to swap it out (but hey, you can sell this one instead). The cassette is a Shimano R7000 105 11-speed cassette. It’s not a big deal for most people, but it’s also not the best ‘Welcome to your new product’ thing either – especially for cyclists that aren’t as comfortable with shop tools. Plus any time you want to toss atop that. Typically a cassette will run you about $50-$60, and then you’ll need another $10-$20 in tools to install it if you don’t have them already. The most notable thing straight away is the cassette on the Suito, complete with its little baggie protecting it. Here’s the components pulled straight out of the box and placed on the ground: But they literally mean to just pull it out of the box – no assembly, no dealing with random crap, just pull and pray. The main ‘thing’ about the Elite Suito is the whole concept of ‘pull it out of the box, start riding’. If you found this review useful, feel free to hit up the links at the end of the review. As always, once I’m done with this thing I’ll get a shipping label on this loaner unit and it’ll head back to Elite. From accuracy to what’s in the box, and plenty more. And I’ll dive into that a bit later on, what went wrong, what’s different now, etc…īut before we do, we’ll run through all the usual in-depth review bits. Like every other trainer (or indoor bike) this season, Elite joined the ‘that was rough’ club for early adopters. Great – so it sounds like the perfect mid-range trainer at $799.īut did it live up to that hype? Well, it probably depends on when exactly you got a Suito. And finally – it was designed to be entirely ready to ride by just pulling it out of the box – no assembly required. It also has a very small footprint for those that wanted to store it away (or under) something. The only other trainer in the market that did that was the $1,199 Wahoo KICKR.Ītop that, at the time, Elite also threw in a 30-day trial of Zwift – which then was actually unique (now, not so much). With the Suito the main selling point was that the cassette was included (saving you $50-$70 in costs, depending on whether you had tools) – plus the savings in time/hassle. The Suito made a name for itself by essentially copying the same Elite formula as a few years ago: Offer a good medium-range product that undercuts everyone else on price. It’s been about five months since the Elite Suito was first announced back in July.
