Bkool release two new smart trainers

The Smart Air is the most advanced trainer Bkool have ever produced and has a number of stand-out technical features, not to mention its looks.

It can simulate gradients up to 20%, and has advanced controls for a realistic user experience. Bkool have made a lot of noise about the lack of noise, claiming the Smart Air is one of the quietest on the planet - it produces only 41 decibels at 35km/h, and 51 decibels at 50km/h. 

The Smart Air also allows for a side-to-side rocking motion, first seen on Kurt Kinetic's Rock and Roll trainer, and the built-in power meter is accurate up to 2000 watts. It's ANT+ and Bluetooth Smart compatible so you can link it up with all your favourite indoor training apps and feed data through your GPS head unit too. Bkool say set-up is super easy and you can just plug and go, with no need for calibration. 

​Bkool's latest foldable, wheel-on trainer is a little louder (68db at 35km/h, yet still quieter than an average conversation apparently) but a more portable and less expensive option than the Smart Air, weighing in at less than 11kg. It has a power limit of 1,200 watts, is adjustable to fit any wheel from 20-29" and has a similarly easy set-up with no calibration needed.  

The Smart Pro 2 is available to buy now at £499, while the Smart Air can be reserved for an expected October delivery with a price of £1,099 - this also includes a free three-month subscription to Bkool's premium Simulator training app.
