Elite Tuo Interactive Cycling Trainer with Performance Measurement

Elite Tuo is an interactive home trainer with automatic resistance control. A reliable and technically mature companion with a compact design that is perfect for a quick session at home or in the office. When not in use, it becomes a beautifully shaped piece of furniture that can be stored in a space-saving manner. Above all, it is characterized by a solid and compact construction made of high-quality materials: an aluminum cabinet, a steel frame and legs made of beech wood, which is one of the most beautiful, sturdy and durable types of wood used for home furnishings. Beech wood is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also perfectly absorbs shocks during training, ensuring maximum stability. Minimalist, yet elegant design, strong workmanship. And a great solution for training on the bike. This is the new Tuo from Elite.

Technologies used Elite Tuo

Elastogel roll

The smallroll on which the bike wheel rests is made of Elastogel, an exclusive polyurethane molecule developed and tested by Elite that reduces friction noise by 50%. The material not only increases the grip of the tire on the roller, but also reduces wear and tear by 20%.

Classic design, high-quality workmanship

Tuo was developed for the most efficient workout at home, which meets all your needs, also because of its stylish appearance. The wheeled trainer has a solid and compact design with a metal frame and beech wood legs. Non-slip rubber feet provide good stability. Tuo has frames and legs that can be easily closed to ensure quick setup and minimal space requirements in any situation. Tuo is extremely lightweight, and with a weight of just over 10 kilograms, it is easy to carry.

Smarter Resistor

Electronically controlled magnetic resistance ensures that you can accurately replicate your workout on the road. It guarantees optimum tread roundness and a wide range of available power outputs, up to 1,250 watts at 40 km / h. Pedal resistance is generated by an integrated braking unit with magnetic technology, which allows automatic resistance changes to simulate gradients of up to 10%.

Tuo power measurement

Performance is measured by Tuo with an accuracy of ± 3%, one of the highest in the elite wheel configuration. To provide a more realistic performance-based riding experience, Tuo implements a new algorithm developed by Elite in cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute for Technomathematics ITWM in Germany to provide performance calculations based on a cyclist's actual pedal changes during training. The algorithm uses not only speed, weight and incline data, but also takes into account the energy stored by the flywheel during sudden changes in speed, both during acceleration and deceleration. With Tuo, you can also use an ergometer already in use on the bike as a power source via the Power Meter Link (PML). With this feature, the trainer can adjust the resistance to the power measured by the ergometer using My E-Training software.
