New product: Elite presents Rizer, a grade simulator, from -10% to +20%

Rizer is designed to improve the indoor cycling training experience by not only perfectly replicating the most beautiful summits of all software with slope simulation, but also by electronically steering your avatar on Zwift, overtaking other cyclists on the course or staying in their slipstream to your advantage.

The latest innovation in the Elite indoor ecosystem can move the bike up and down, simulating real-time ascents and descents as you pedal on all types of terrain.

Rizer integrates a steering system that enhances the feeling of pedaling on the handlebars while you’re riding indoors, allowing you to work every muscle exactly as if you were tackling a real climb.

Uphill and downhill just like on a real ride

The device allows you to tackle climbs with an incline of up to +20% and descents down to -10%.

With this slope simulator, you can feel the intensity of the most challenging ascents.

Integrated steering, to train every muscle

In addition to changing the bike’s incline, the system integrates a steering simulation that provides the same fluidity and freedom of movement you would have when pedaling uphill in reality. In fact, in addition to having more comfort on the handlebars thanks to a patented system, you will be able to train the same muscle groups you use on the road to become a top-level climber.

Maximum stability during your ascent

Indeed, Rizer offers a solid structure to ensure the best stability on the steepest climbs. The maximum load is 120 kg.

Equipped with an integrated handle for easy transport and adjustable feet, Rizer comes pre-assembled in the packaging and consists of an aluminum structure connected to an aluminum alloy and steel base plate. It guarantees maximum resistance on the most demanding climbs and out-of-the-saddle sessions.

Compatible with all bikes and software that include incline

The system communicates directly with the interactive trainer to simulate the ascents and descents of your selected course, and therefore works with all software that sends incline commands.

Rizer is compatible with all latest-generation trainers that allow the bike frame to rotate. In the Elite range, compatible models are Direto XR(-T), Suito(-T), and Tuo.

Compatibility also extends to all bikes available on the market, including bikes equipped with disc brakes and 12 mm thru-axles. The adapter for 15 mm thru-axles is included.

Regarding Zwift…

By connecting electronically to Zwift, Rizer will allow you to ride on the many courses that enable you to steer your avatar on the screen and overtake other cyclists in the race.
