'CAN GIVE ONE HELL OF A WORK OUT'

Strengths:
Well constructed and easy to use. A variety of different workouts are available, from power, hill sessions and recovery rides. The controls are easy to use and it is simple to adjust the settings mid session. Certainly quiet enough to use in the house without waking the wife, kids or neighbours if doing an early morning workout. Folds down easily after a session and stores in a relatively small space.

Weaknesses:
Takes a bit of force to get it all together from the box, but it does go eventually.

Overall:
This is the first turbo I've tried, but it appears to work very well, the wide variety of sessions available mean that you don't have to be bored ( alright all turbos are boring).

'GOOD RANGE OF FEATURES'

Strengths:
Simple to install. Can be used to train against power

Weaknesses:
None - well, no capability to pre-program multi step sessions (featured on the next model up)

Overall:
Seems good, simple, solid bit of design and delivery.

Good range of measurement set ups (cadence, power, and the old skool "resistance")

Good value at 170 from Xpedia
