Elite Square smart frame

Where do I send my money ?.. :money_with_wings::moneybag::dollar::grin:

Thank you for explaining the technical principles, it sounds to me like this could be really good.
The obvious will be to go with an Elite trainer, which most people probably will. But being a sucker for the Neo trainers ( which apparently is better build than my Neobike ) I’m tempted to get my hands on such a combination when the Square becomes available.

Brilliant.
Only problem is elite racing where there is hardware requirements. Even if Square itself is cleared what is used behind it may not be.
Can of worms :worm: :weary:
Least serviced demographic in e-racing keeps getting the short end of the stick.

So if I’m reading things right your 1200 euro just gets you a few bits of box section bolted together and you’ve to spend extra putting a trainer on the back of it…

Saw the Justo2 is part of the release news as well. From what I understand, the basic difference from the Justo1 is that it has WiFi connectivity directly to your app. How valuable is this if you’re running a pc setup anyway, since now we’re seeing floor clearance pricing for the Justo 1 models?

Great post, learned a lot.

I do not quite understand;

The square behaves like a Zwift play? So the square connects to Zwift the trainer as well.
Do the additional buttons also work with Zwift already like the play.

My stages SB20 is dying.

If I invest in the square and an elite trainer, do I beeft Zwift companion as a bridge for Apple TV? Or do I only have to connect the ATV to the square which mimic the Zwift play and control the trainer, which controls the rizer? And I have one spare connection left for my HR

From what material is the square made? Because even the SB20 is starting to rust.

Thank you for your help

Off topic, but just took delivery of a Justo and setup was easy. Good discounts available (in the US anyway) on the v1, since the v2 was announced. I don’t think I gave up anything I’d need in the v2 that was worth $300+

Is the square and controllers compatible with V1?

It’s supposedly compatible with any direct trainer that has a removable freehub, of any brand.

I much prefer how Elite integrated the game controllers above the brake hoods. The game controller style hoods of the Zwift Ride are a non-starter for me. I want my indoor bike to feel like a real bike, not a video game.

Does anyone here know if Tacx Neo 2T:s road feel feature would work with the Elite Square?

Any updates on availability in EU ?

UK online retailers are starting to list the Square for sale, albeit as out of stock. So presumably it’s not far off.

Thanks @Steve_Hammatt :pray:

Tempted to try one if they actually become available :thinking:

I’d like to know about Tacx road feel too! Also, if we will see gear in zwift? I hope so.

On another note I hear from the local distributors in SoCal that this will be available in March for ordering.

since Square is out (having it at home) I find that buttons are currently not working with Zwift. Wrote to Elite support they told me Zwift promised them to be integrated once trainer hits the market which is obviously not true. Any idea when this will be supported (hope not next year as with everything@Zwift …). ?

I saw their reply to your questions on the Elite Facebook page:

It made me curious which trainer you are using

Im probably missing some important context, but why does the ability to steer depend on the type of trainer you are using with the square?

I don’t know if they were referring to steering on a smart bike, like a Wahoo Kickr Bike, or something else. Honestly I found their comment not very illuminating but would love to learn more.

That statement with “virtual shifting” instead of “virtual steering” would make sense.
