It doesn’t include a cassette, a somewhat curious move since the less expensive Elite Suito ($799) does. Also, a small baggy of paper and metal bits. More specifically: Three legs, a trainer, a front wheel block, and a power adapter. Once you remove all the cardboard you’ll have yourself a small pile of parts. This year with the Direto X it’s down to +/- 1.5%. They also increased the official accuracy specs from +/- 2.5% down to +/- 2.0%. But then the second year (last summer), they quietly rolled out a near identical version called the Direto 2018, which hardware-wise was the same, but did include an extra riser block. The first year (2017) there was just the Direto. Previously with the Direto there were technically two iterations. Perhaps the biggest thing they’ve changed physically is the box and the name – it’s now clear this is a Direto X. With that – let’s dig into it! What’s in the box: If you find the review useful you can hit up the links at the bottom to help support the blog. As I said, I’ve had a media loaner for a while, and that will head back to them once I’ve wrapped up with it here soon.

In any case, I dig into all the changes – including the accuracy shifts in this full in-depth review. Minor changes for sure, but that’s often how Eurobike goes – evolutionary updates rather than revolutionary. They’ve increased the incline simulation to 18% (from 14%), added longer rear derailleur cage support, and increased the accuracy of the onboard power meter to +/- 1.5% (from 2%), all while also making it a bit quieter. Essentially it makes it compete more strongly in the mid-upper range of trainers against things like the Wahoo KICKR CORE. The Direto X takes the existing (and super popular) trainer and gives it a modest spec bump.

As the title indicates I’ll be focused on their updated Direto series trainer for this post, which I have had for quite some time. Elite has just announced three new products – the Elite Direto X (this post), the Elite Steering Thingy (post on that coming tomorrow morning at show open), and the Elite Tuo wheel on trainer (also more on that tomorrow). While Eurobike doesn’t officially start for another 15 hours, Elite is joining Saris in getting a jumpstart on things, this time on Eurobike Eve.
