Details: I bought the indoor trainer thinking I would get good use out of it as well as incredible form but the reality is I just prefer riding outside with mediocre form.
It is incredibly simple to set up and you are riding within a few minutes. It has seen only a handful of hours use so is almost new other than a tyre mark on the roller. If you have the focus and dedication this could be a massively useful tool to concentrate your training and bash out those intervals everyone keeps talking about. It requires a ANT+ heart rate strap which isn't included but works fine with my Garmin strap and it was bought overseas so requires an adapter for use here. I still have the manual although that not worth the paper it's printed on.
Collection only on lower north shore.
Manufacturers blurb
The Vortex features a white Satori frame, a handlebar computer with a custom display and has a number of innovative functionalities available. All relevant training data is visible at a glance.
Unlike the Bushido, the Vortex does not have a memory; you set programmes for gradient, power or heart rate manually while training. The electric brake is wireless, which means that there is no wire running between the brake and the handlebar computer. A cadence sensor is no longer needed either, although mains power is. Includes Skyliner front wheel support.
