Elite Avanti Electromagnetic Direct Drive Trainer w/ Zwift Cog/Click (Black)
8020775047828
A mid-range smart trainer for riders who want genuine power-meter accuracy and instant Zwift shifting, with enough resistance range to handle serious sprint and climbing efforts.
Overview
Avanti sits in Elite's range as the trainer built to prove you don't need a flagship price tag to get flagship accuracy. It uses the same Optical Torque Sensor technology as Elite's higher-end trainers — an integrated power meter reading force directly at the pedals, rather than estimating from motor draw.
What's actually equipped: the OTS power meter delivers ±1% accuracy, backed by a 4kg flywheel tuned for a smooth, low-noise ride even at high speeds. WiFi handles automatic firmware updates in the background, and dual Bluetooth channels let it bridge a heart-rate or cadence sensor while staying connected to your main training app. This version comes with the Zwift Cog and Click shifter pre-fitted, so virtual shifting works from the very first ride with no cassette to source or fit.
It's built for riders who train seriously indoors — structured intervals, ERG workouts, or Zwift racing — but don't want to pay flagship pricing for the accuracy that training plan actually depends on.
Why You'll Like It
Flagship-Level Power Accuracy
The OTS power meter reads pedal force directly to within ±1% — the same accuracy standard as Elite's more expensive trainers, at a fraction of the cost.
Zwift Shifting Ready From Day One
The Zwift Cog and Click shifter come pre-installed, so virtual shifting in Zwift works immediately — no cassette to buy or match to your bike.
Handles Serious Sprint and Climbing Efforts
2,100W of maximum power and gradient simulation up to 18% mean it won't run out of headroom during hard intervals or steep virtual climbs.
Calibrates and Updates Itself
Automatic calibration and WiFi-based firmware updates mean there's no manual maintenance ritual before each session.
Rides More Naturally
Black Flex Feet allow 4.5° of lateral micro-movement, closer to how a bike actually behaves underneath you outdoors.
Who Is It For?
Riders in India serious about structured indoor training or Zwift racing who want genuine power-meter accuracy without paying for Elite's flagship trainers. It suits anyone already following a coached plan or ERG-mode workouts, where the difference between roughly-right and precisely-right power data actually changes what a session accomplishes.
It's also a strong option for a rider upgrading from a basic wheel-on or fluid trainer who wants direct-drive precision and pre-installed Zwift shifting without a complicated setup process.
Good to Know
Adapters for different axle standards are stored in a pull-out compartment underneath the trainer, so they're always to hand when you need them.
Two stand-alone modes let you train without an app or even a power outlet — set your resistance level in the My E-Training app beforehand and the trainer remembers it.
A 12-month subscription to Elite's My E-Training app is included, giving a full year to explore structured training before deciding whether to continue.
