I currently ZWIFT using the following set up:

1. APPLE TV 4;

2. A VIIIIVA heart rate monitor. It acts as a bridge picking up the signals from my Garmin Speed and Cadence sensors and transmitting them to the APPLE TV; and

3. A CycleOps Fluid trainer

i am now thinking of replacing the CycleOps with a new, “smart”trainer. The CycleOps fluid trainer is OK for most situations but a smart trainer would definitely enhance the ZWIFT experience.

My choices (price wise) are:

Kinetic Road Machine - Smart

Kinetic Road Machine Smart Control

CycleOps Magnus trainer

The Kinetic Road Machine is on sale for about $280.00.

the Kinetic Smart Control and the Magnus trainer are similarly priced.

I am fairly familiar with these trainers’ features.

What I would like to know is what trainers, among these three, do you use for ZWIFTING and why.

Also, if you use another trainer for ZWIFTING please let me know which one and why.

Thank you in advance.
