I really interest in your T600 review, It looks amazing for its price
Loving the new addition to the Lama Lab test, I have noticed with my new Zwift Hub One, it struggles to offer a consistent power at the low end, and my Quarq shows a very sloppy fix on the power. Looking forward to seeing how trainers hold up to it!
I am hyped to see what the Road Surface Simulation does with the T600.
It'll likely be the same as what Tacx have done with their Neo range. A lot of people turn this off.
Great review once again Shane! Glad that Magene did address all the issues u had with the T300, seems like they watch you videos too! Can’t wait for your review on the T600 as I couldn’t wait to start my indoor cycling journey and just got the T600 recently! Keep up the great work 👍🏻
What is your expereience with the T600 ? I am planning to get one...
Same here… is it any good?
Looks pretty good if overly smoothed as you mention. Magene is making good stuff these days..
Between this and Wahoo kickr which would you recommend?
That ERG mode setting the power almost instantaneously looked so much better than my Direto XR. I didn't know it can set the target wattage that fast!
Directo XR has a terrible ERG mode - I already changed the firmware there according to the Elite support team's advice, I also updated it a few times in the meantime but it didn't help much. On my Chinese ThinkRider X7 it's almost instant as with this Magene unit.
I have the Drivo Serie one "that should have gotten a firmware update, but instead they released a Drivo II. The wattage is all over the place and needs a 20 seconds. No more Elite for me, Magene looks like a new contender for my new machine:)
Ciao@@bartoszkwiatkowski9388 , we'd like to go more in depth with your issue. Can you share the ticket number you've given? the new FW update has strongly improved the ERG mode experience and we'd like to know why you're not feeling the same.
@@elitecycling The ticket# was 142658 - it's from 2022. Did you release any new FW updates since that time? If so I would be more than happy to apply it and give it a try. Thanks.
Love your reviews of all different trainers. Just got into road biking last winter my bike has a 135 through axle it seems most trainers only use 135 quick release. What can I do so I can use a direct drive trainer. My bike is a 2016 specialized diverge carbon. Thanks
Not something I've come across or had to solve. One for the support department of whichever trainer you're looking into.
Hey Shane! - Random question lol, but what cycling shoes are you wearing in the video? They look good thanks!

Can you do a review on the magene t110. It's 350 and some of us only use a trainer as a last resort and don't want to spend a lot of money on something we may only use 3 times a year
Still eagerly awaiting the Hub “One” in Australia. (Or an update to the Kickr Core that provides virtual gearing)
Soon….
@@gplama OWW EMM EFF GEE 🙏🏻
Would the t600 be a stable tacx neo? 😅
Will you be reviewing magene's new headunit and pedal pms?
Their pedal power meter is only available in China, so it's a no on those. The C606 is a maybe.
Is it normal that the pedalling is too heavy for me when I connect it to Onelap or BKool?
Shane, could u do video on the magene t200, i want to get it but can't find any reviews on it
If I can get a hold of one, sure.
Hi Shane, are you planning on reviewing Decathlon trainer?
If I can get a hold of them, yes.
For what it's worth, I think the Magene T110 is the same as the Van Rysel D100
15:06 looks like more frequent than 1Hz power update? does it support race mode?
It appears to update at 4Hz over BLE. That isn’t listed anywhere on the technical specs though.
I bought a Kickr a little over two years ago. I don't see how that is going to be improved enough by Wahoo or any company to tempt me into buying a replacement for many years. The Kickr move doesn't do it for me.
Even more evident with the Kickr CORE. That also provides 97% of what people are after. A good enough workout with good enough reliability. My classification of "Gen II" trainers with WiFi/Direct Connect, auto calibration, race mode, etc, are all nice to have features. No necessarily essential or incentive enough for people to upgrade.
5 months ago I bought the old version :(
What are those shoes?

This is not at all related to this video. A while ago you did a video about how to get rid of the blue thumbs dropping from the sky In Zwift by "Zeroing out" the image file. I am wondering if you could, or would be willing/able to do a video on how to get rid of the "Ride On" voice in Zwift and perhaps the bell while you are at it. It is amazing how many people think the thumb button is the same thing as pressing the arrow on the companion app when there is a circle around it. After many years on Zwift, I am puzzled why zwift has not made the useless thumb button just do what pressing the arrow does. I have resorted to turning down the game sound affects, but frankly I miss them. If I hear that stupid "Ride On" voice one more time, I'm going to lose it... Thanks for the awesome content. I'm always keen to see what you are up to.
Removing that thumb image resource was pretty simple as it was a standalone file. The sound resources in Zwift are all contained within a single sound bank file last time I looked into this. That makes things a lot more difficult to remove.
Tempted to write something here.
You just did.
@@gplamawicked Pissah Cool 😎 video. Getting ready to do some MTB in 25 degrees sunny weather finally 😁
Looks like the trainer has data smoothing.
It does indeed. Discussed at a few points in this video.
Is that an Elite trainer in disguise? Obviously not, since erg mode is so responsive. 😂
No. Elite make their own trainers.
I think Magene used data smoothing to hide their power data inaccuracy TBH. I bought a T600 two months ago there was an obvious sin wave of power going up and down at an interval with respect to the cadence.
That'd be exposed by the on-bike meters. Wasn't happening with the T300 Plus with the Power2Max, SRM, or Assioma DUO.
Was it power inaccuracy or resistance sin wave? Data smoothing can only hide inaccuracies for very short intervals. But on this video, we clearly see power agreement during short sprints/intervals.
