Discover your ideal interactive trainer at Escapa from a wide selection of the best brands.

With the Elite Direto-XR Trainer with Zwift Cog and Click, you’ll enter a new era thanks to the integration of Zwift Cog and Click. The new version of the Direto XR series eliminates the cassette with the pre-installed Zwift Cog, ensuring immediate setup and seamless compatibility with almost all bikes featuring 8- to 12-speed drivetrains, without having to adjust the derailleur.

Zwift Click, a two-button controller, enables virtual shifting to adjust resistance through the trainer, simulating gear changes with 24 virtual gears.

Among the most iconic trainers in Elite’s smart trainer lineup, the Direto XR with Zwift Cog and Click is the most advanced trainer in the series and retains high-end features, such as the built-in power meter, which measures power with an accuracy of ±1.5%.

This trainer also features increasingly stable power data in ERG mode, four different power smoothing options for power data display (available in My E-Training), “Easy Start” to facilitate resuming intervals, responsive Supertuck in Zwift, and Bridge functions for heart rate monitors and cadence sensors.

With a pre-installed Zwift sprocket

The new version of the Direto XR series eliminates the need for a cassette thanks to the pre-installed Zwift sprocket, offering broad compatibility with almost all bikes featuring 8/9/10/11/12-speed drivetrains, without the need to adjust the derailleur.

The Zwift system is integrated, allowing for quick and easy setup. It’s perfect for different riders, as it also lets you connect multiple bikes equipped with cassettes of different speeds to the smart trainer.

If you prefer the real shifting feel provided by a cassette, you can remove the Zwift sprocket and install your own 9- to 12-speed cassette, just as you would with a standard Direto XR(-T).

Virtual Shifting with Zwift Click

Shifting is managed via Zwift Click, a two-button controller that enables silent and instantaneous virtual shifting by adjusting the trainer’s resistance to simulate gear changes across 24 preset virtual gears.

The system offers a unique, adjustable linear shifting action via the “+” and “-” buttons on the Zwift Click, which features a rubber O-ring compatible with any type of road, flat, or time-trial handlebar.

Virtual shifting works only with Zwift. For other training apps, replace the Zwift Cog with your preferred cassette (cassette not included).

Advanced data tracking with built-in power meter

The Direto XR with Zwift Cog and Click offers advanced power monitoring to maximize your performance and analyze your progress during cycling workouts.

Equipped with a built-in power meter, the OTS (Optical Torque Sensor), this trainer provides precise power data with an accuracy of ±1.5%.

With the Direto XR with Zwift Cog and Click, you also have access to four power data display options via the “Power Smoothing” feature available in Mi E-Training. This allows you to view a smooth representation of your power data through a stable, synchronized display, eliminating any fluctuations.

The handy “Easy Start” feature makes it easy to resume intervals after brief pauses in pedaling, ensuring a comfortable and effective training experience.

High-speed power meter data reading enables a quick transition to the Supertuck position during Zwift races. The Direto XR with Zwift Cog and Click can immediately detect when you stop pedaling, allowing Zwift to seamlessly activate Supertuck for your avatar.

High performance on climbs up to 24%

The Direto XR with Zwift Cog and Click challenges you to push your limits by automatically managing resistance to simulate extreme gradients of up to 24%. Get ready to conquer the most demanding climbs, such as the Passo dello Stelvio and Mont Ventoux.

With the support of Elite’s handlebar-steered climb simulator, the Rizer, your training reaches a new level of realism. It features automatic frame movements that simulate ascents and descents for an unprecedented realistic experience, along with the ability to steer the handlebars left or right to faithfully replicate the movements you’d make on your road bike.

For an even more immersive workout, complete your setup with Aria, Elite’s smart fan, which can adjust wind intensity based on your speed, power, heart rate, and body temperature, providing a comfortable, motivating, and realistic environment during your workouts.

Cadence Sensor and Heart Rate Monitor Bridge Function

The bridge function for cadence sensors and heart rate monitors allows you to connect a heart rate monitor or cadence sensor directly to the bike trainer while it is connected to the training software, transmitting the corresponding data via the standard FE-C ANT+ and FTMS BLE protocols.

This feature is particularly useful on certain platforms (such as Apple TV) that can only support two Bluetooth® Smart sensors simultaneously.

The Direto XR with Zwift Cog and Click can also create a virtual heart rate monitor if you’re using software that isn’t compatible with your heart rate monitor’s protocol (for example, if you have an ANT+ monitor but are using a Bluetooth-enabled program or device). The bike trainer will instantly convert the data from your ANT+ heart rate monitor, transmitting the value via Bluetooth to the app or device you’re using.

Maximum Compatibility with All Bikes

The Direto XR with Zwift Cog and Click ensures exceptional compatibility with road, Gravel, and mountain bikes featuring 130–135 x 5 mm quick-release hubs and 142 x 12 mm thru-axle hubs (adapters included in the package).

Master Your Data with Cadence, Speed, and Power Metrics

The Direto XR instantly provides you with all the key performance metrics for your cycling workout—such as speed, power, and, most importantly, cadence—without the need for additional sensors on your bike frame, thanks to its advanced sensorless technology. The built-in OTS power meter offers comprehensive monitoring of your workout data to help you execute your training plans with maximum precision and efficiency.

Always-Quiet Training

Our latest generation of trainers features a redesigned mechanism that ensures exceptionally quiet workouts. This is also due to the new flywheel design, which incorporates aerodynamically optimized rotating components.

Zwift Cog eliminates the need for a cassette, which not only simplifies setup but also significantly reduces operational noise during your training sessions. This design improvement ensures that your indoor cycling experience is as quiet as possible, allowing you to focus solely on your performance without distractions.
