Dirt 3 trainer7/14/2023 ![]() It was suitably tough, and the Pinnacle performed well. It matches up to 20% climbs, so to test it I climbed to the Radio Tower which features grades up to 17%. When testing on Zwift, I found the resistance levels to reliably follow the onscreen metrics. It can also generate up to 2,500W, which is more than enough for the average rider. In terms of power accuracy, I don’t have a separate power meter to compare readings, but the makers claim it’s accurate to +/-2%, which puts it in line with some of the higher-end turbo trainers. This is extremely handy, and marks it above competitors such as Wiggle’s own brand Xplova Noza S, which does not include a cadence sensor. The first thing to note is that the Pinnacle HC Turbo Home Trainer includes a built-in cadence sensor, which is not always the case with trainers in this price bracket.

It also features ANT+ connectivity, and as well as Zwift connects to other training software including TrainerRoad, Kinomap, PerfPro, Rouvy and TacX films. It connected to the app instantly, providing a seamless setup that was quick and unfussy, which isn’t always the case with Bluetooth. I tested my Pinnacle Turbo Trainer with Zwift (opens in new tab), the cycling and running virtual training platform. Once that’s done though, you’re ready to go – simply plug it in and connect to your third-party training app of choice and off you go. Then simply adjust the trainer to your bike’s wheel size (it can house road bikes and mountain bikes) and attach the wheel with either a quick-release axle or thru-axle (it comes with adaptors for both). ![]() The bit that takes more time is removing your cassette from your bike (or buying a separate cassette) and attaching it to the trainer, as mentioned earlier. To construct the unit you simply screw two sections together. ![]() You should also install some extracting tool like Winrar in your computer because highly compressed game setup is provided in a single download link game and it may contains Zip, RAR or ISO file.The Pinnacle Turbo Trainer arrived in a medium-sized box and was fairly straightforward to set up. ![]()
