CYCLEOPS H2 SMART TRAINER
About twice a year I travel a little north in Ohio to one of three excellent bike shops called K&G Bike Shop owned and operated by Justin. Every year I get to demo several of the top new trainers that have come out for late or beginning of the upcoming year. This year I was able to demo younger brother of my favorite of last year called the Cycleops H2. This direct drive trailer is massively built at 47 lbs and incredibly durable and accurate all at the same time. The H2 is from Cycleops Wisconsin headquarters and has several updated features that make this one of my Top Products for early 2019. There is no need for extra external sensors as the H2 has integrated speed, cadence and power data technology. The maximum Wattage capacity is over 2000 (maybe 800 for me). It has Bluetooth, Ant+ and FE-C standard connectivity with an incredibly accuracy rate of +/- 2% with seamless synchronization and OTA firmware updates. Direct Drive trainers are quite simple to setup, remove the wheel and set in place on included cassette and lock it on. The H2 leg footprint is huge which adds to the superior sturdiness and safety of the unit. The Direct Drive eliminate tire wear for long-term winter and virtual training miles which have become an standard part of my training over the last year. The Cycleops H2 comes with a hefty price at around $1199 which is comparable to some of the other models but is well worth the long-term Fitness investment. The H2 give you a true road like experience with elevation and descents and is certified Zwift and of course Rouvy. Overall the H2 hammer by Cyclops has advanced accuracy, superior dependability and sturdiness that will last you thousands of any fitness app miles and is well worth the higher ticket price.
