I have bought the Elite Suito in December 2020. I am pretty happy with the trainer and riding on zwift. The ERG mode feels OK; it’s fluctuating a bit in power, but nothing too annoying.
When I ride uphill (9%+) on zwift (with trainer difficulty on 100%) i do get a feeling that my ‘back wheel’ is slipping. I am aware that I’m quite a heavy rider (93kg) and that there are limits to what gradient can be emulated; but I wanted to get some feedback from the community if other people have the same with their Suito’s or smart trainers? I have it when grinding away in my lowest gear (34x28 iirc)
As a side note; I recently bought a Left crank power meter and the power values seem to be spot on. It seems that I’m not seeing the under-reported power that other users have. (Or my left-right balance is off).
Maybe I wasn’t clear enough, the trainer I’m using is an Elite Suito, it’s a direct drive trainer. Internally the suito uses a belt to connect the flywheel, I have the impression that this is slipping.
I’m mainly wondering if that is normal given the weight and steep hills, or if maybe tjere’s something wrong with the unit.
