Thinkrider X7 Pro Noise Test + Lateral movement (Chinese affordable turbo trainer)

Pros:- Affordable Quiet, Good noise level (even better than Wahoo Kickr I used before this) Lateral movement gives you a nice ride feel. Quick connection Stable base Includes ANT+ adapter which is excellent Both Ant+ and BLE supported Cons;- Gradient simulation capped at 8%, anything beyond 8% resistance will no longer change. Depending on your location, claiming a warranty can be an issue if there are any quality problems. The seller did guarantee that all necessary parts will be supplied for 2 years, but you will have to do your own repair. Renowned brands such as Wahoo, Tacx, or Elite will most likely swap the unit if it cannot be repaired within 2 years warranty period. Wide base is stable but is wider than most rubber mats (910mm) Overall, Great if you don&mind limitations with slope simulation. For me it¬ a deal-breaker as 8% gradient with 100% difficulty gives me plenty of exercise on Zwift and my main purpose of the unit is for the Sufferfest using the ERG mode. If your main focus is ERG mode interval training, I would recommend this turbo trainer.
