  • Great trainer so far!
Style: H3 Smart Trainer Pattern Name: Drive Smart
This is my third trainer, but first smart trainer. I had a really cheap magnetic, a pretty nice Kurt Kinetic fluid (wheel-on) and now this Saris H3. The reviews said it was quiet and they are 100%. My wheel-on magnetic and KK fluid were very noisy, I think the chain and cog noise of my bike's drive train is louder than the H3. With the 100% necessary (for me) cooling fan blowing on me as I pedal, I hear nothing but my fan (my KK fluid was louder than the same fan). The resistance variation of the H3 is quite substantial. I had it nearly stop my pedaling completely during one workout. I don't know about the 2000 Watts because I'm not a pro and so far I don't think I've seen over ~500w, but haven't worked on my conditioning with it yet. I'll update when I know more. The coolest part of any smart trainer (IMO) is the VR interface options provided by 3rd party online services like Zwift. The included 30 day free from trial on Zwift has been very fun. For the first time in over a decade of having an indoor trainer, I WANT TO RIDE THE TRAINER! Having the resistance vary as you go up and down the virtual hills (or mountains) is very cool, as is riding in the virtual environment with your local buddies or your new Zwift friend from Finland. I'm a data-guy, so having all the feedback info from the trainer (power and cadence, in addition to speed) is very cool. My Garmin HRM chest strap paired easily to my laptop, along side the H3, so I get BPMs on my Zwift display as well. Using an HDMI cable to connect my laptop to the TV in our workout room really enhanced the experience also (has me thinking about getting a bigger TV down there). My trainer (new and unopened) did arrive without a power adapter and with a broken front wheel block, but the seller was very quick to ship out replacements and it's been all good since. ... show more

  • Stealth
Style: H3 Smart Trainer Pattern Name: Drive Smart
Was using anther brand for over 3 years, the reviews by YouTube experts said that it's quiet and the power numbers are extremely accurate. Couldn't agree more. I did see that the cadence numbers are really dodgy. I'm using a sensor on my crank that I've had for a couple years, no issues so far using Zwift. Really happy with this silent trainer ... show more

  • Next level of fitness
Style: H3 Smart Trainer Pattern Name: Drive Smart
Moving up from an old wheel-on trainer, this trainer is a different animal. Combined with Rouvy or Zwift software, results in a much better workout. Software connections were seamless. Installing a cassette may be intimidating for somebody that never works on bikes, but is a 2-minute job of you have the tools and know what to do. Swapping cassettes and bikes is maybe a 5-minute job. The factory internal cadence sensor doesn't work 100% for me (running Rouvy on laptop), but using my wireless Cateye sensor is perfect. ... show more

  • At current prices, probably the best trainer you can get.
Style: H3 Smart Trainer Bundle Pattern Name: Drive Smart
The only negative I can think of for this trainer, is that if you have a 12 speed cassette, you’re out of luck. Otherwise, this is an amazing trainer. Huge flywheel provides amazing feedback, and with Zwift, changes in elevation are instant. Erg mode works well, and have had no problems pairing it during any use. After 2 months and about 1000 miles of riding, I have no complaints. Simulates a road ride better than anything I have experienced so far. ... show more

  • Great indoor trainer for an apartment!
Style: H3 Smart Trainer Pattern Name: Drive Smart
Very easy to unbox, sturdy trainer, easy to setup and works great on Rouvy and Zwift. Enjoying riding from the warmth of my home, especially when conditions outside don’t allow a ride.

  • Great Indoor Bike Trainer
Style: H3 Smart Trainer Pattern Name: Drive Smart
I've waited to review this since it was a big purchase, but I've now hit 1,042 miles (64 rides) on Zwift, with a total time of 61 hours in the saddle. Setup: Fairly straight forward. I had never installed a cassette before so I bought the Luditek chain whip (ASIN: B07517WGKY) at the same time. Only took about 10 minutes to take the cassette off my wheel and install on the H3. I watched a couple of generic videos on how to do this, and the Saris website has an un-boxing video with great info as well. It comes with a spacer - the spacer stays on for 8-10 speed cassettes and comes off for 11 speed. That all worked fine and I was ready to ride. Each of the support legs has a height adjustment so make sure you screw those down so you're not wobbling back and forth. The unit itself seems very heavy duty and stable. Connection: I haven't had any issues connecting to my computer or iPhone to ride on Zwift. It usually auto connects after waking up the H3 and remembers the previous connection type (don't know if that's the H3 or Zwift). Within Zwift you can chose if you want bluetooth or ant+. I've been using Bluetooth connecting to a Mac Mini or the iPhone Zwift companion app. I've had 1 ride where the connection was lost (it reconnected after about 30 seconds) and 2-3 rides where I felt like there was a delay in the resistance changes, although I don't know if those cases were the H3, my computer, or Zwift so I'm not taking off any stars. Those cases were fairly soon after I got it so maybe the Firmware updates have fixed this issue. Overall it has performed great and been easy to connect. Ride: The resistance is amazing. If you're coming from an old school fluid trainer this thing will kick your butt. The hill resistance changes are consistent and in line with the gradient on screen. During erg mode workouts it does a great job holding at the specified wattage. Riding in Zwift you WILL be shifting and using your entire gear range. If you ride without connecting to a program (Zwift, the app, etc) it mimics a fluid trainer resistance, which is great for cooling down or warming up. My only complaint is the cadence calculation doesn't keep up when shifting. With firmware updates it has gotten more accurate when riding a consistent tempo, but drops out when shifting compared to the cadence output on my CatEye computer still mounted to the bike (which only shows cadence now). Not taking off any stars since this is a fairly minor complaint overall. The Saris App: This has received major updates in the last 2 months (almost like it wasn't ready when they launched the product). The firmware updates have worked without issues, the calibration works (I haven't noticed a major difference before and after so I think it was fairly close right out of the box for me), and the ERG mode functions as expected. The app is free so I'd recommend downloading that for the firmware updates and calibration. It has to be disconnected from other devices to connect to the app, so I usually check firmware and calibration about every 2 weeks at the end of a ride. Summary: Overall I'm very happy with this purchase and would highly recommend this unit. I've been riding more, riding longer and enjoying it MUCH more than I ever was with my old 'dumb' trainer. I'm also getting stronger and faster during the wet off-season. ... show more

  • Excellent trainer for the winter months
Style: H3 Smart Trainer Bundle Pattern Name: Drive Smart
I have this in the basement for Zwifting. No need to move it but I still calibrate it weekly. Easy to install & setup. Zwift found it immediately with the use of the Zwift Companion app. No issues at all so far.
