Tacx, Wahoo, Elite and Saris smart turbo trainers all discounted ahead of winter

Tacx Flux 2: Up to 33% off
USA: $899.99 $599.99 at Garmin
UK: £599.99 £479.99 at Garmin
The Flux 2 is Tacx's mid-range trainer, but still gives you a stack of functionality, allowing you to sprint at 2000 watts and simulate 16% grades. Tacx says that its power measurement is accurate to within 2.5%, it's quiet, stable and it comes ready to hook up to thru-axles as well as QR hubs.

Tacx Neo 2T: Up to 29% off
USA: $1,399.99 $999.99 at Garmin
UK: £1,049,99 £829.99 at Garmin
If you fancy a higher spec turbo, the Neo 2T offers some useful upgrades to the Flux 2. It's quieter, although you can also simulate gravel or cobble surfaces if you want some variety. It's also more accurate at 1% and provides stats such as left/right balance to help you work on your pedalling. Add the optional motion plates for fore-aft and side-to-side motion as you ride.

Tacx Neo Bike: 22% off in the US
USA: $3,199.99 $2,499.99 at Garmin
If you have space and you want a dedicated indoor training tool, the Neo Bike replicates the functionality of the Neo trainer, but in a highly adjustable exercise bike. As with the Neo trainer, you can push out up to 2,200 watts and climb a simulated 25% grade. The twin built-in cooling fans help too.

Wahoo Kickr Core: $300 price drop in the US
USA: Now $599.99 at Backcountry
UK: Now £549 at Tredz
Wahoo has permanently reduced the price of its lowest priced direct drive trainer, the Kickr Core. It provides much of the functionality of the original Kickr, just with a slightly lighter flywheel and a 2% power reading accuracy instead of 1%. Plus, you'll need to supply your own cassette.

Pay an extra $100 and you can buy the Kickr Core with a year's Zwift subscription at Wahoo.

Wahoo Kickr Rollr: Up to 25% off
USA: $799.99 $599.99 at Wahoo
UK: £699.99 £549.99 at Wahoo
If you are looking for something different from the normal turbo, the Kickr Rollr gives you the roller experience without the risk of falling off. It has other advantages as well, as there's a lot less set-up required than with a turbo. It also now supports power-meter-free Zwift use after a firmware update this summer. 

Wahoo Kickr: Half price in the UK
UK: £999.99 £499.99 at Wiggle
UK customers can still take advantage of the half price deal at Wiggle (and its sister company Chain Reaction Cycles) that we highlighted a few weeks ago. The trainer comes with a UK power adapter as well as a US one and includes the Axis Feet, which allow you to rock it through five degrees as you ride.

Elite Direto XR: Save 45% in the US
USA: $999.99 $549.99 at Moosejaw
UK: £599.99 £514.37 at Bikeparts
The Direto XR is Elite's former flagship trainer, with 1.5% power measurement accuracy and able to simulate grades of up to 24%, so you can ride the steepest grades that your indoor cycling app can offer. It's thru-axle compatible, so there's no need to buy any extras to get started on your disc brake road or mountain bike.

Elite Suito T: Save 35% in the US
USA: $849.99 $551.99 at Moosejaw
UK: £499.99 £428.64 at Bikeparts
Another Elite option with a discount at Moosejaw, the Suito T's stylish design includes foldable legs for more compact storage. It has 1900 watts resistance and can simulate 15% grades - plenty for almost all your turbo sessions this winter.

Saris M2: Save 50% in the US
USA: $450 $224.93 at REI Coop
It may be a wheel-on trainer, but the Saris M2 still offers plenty of resistance and grade simulation options and a claimed 5% power accuracy. It also allows you to hook up to an indoor training app, so you're not limited in your workouts, but can do the whole range of sessions and racing offered by pricier trainers.

Saris Fluid2: Save 50% in the US
USA: $350 $174.93 at REI Coop
The Saris Fluid2 offers another budget option to power your turbo sessions this winter. In its case, there's no power measurement, but its cadence sensor allows you to hook up and get riding.

Saris H3: Save 40% in the UK
UK: £749.99 £449.00 at Sports Direct
Saris's direct drive trainer is available with a deep discount in the UK at Sports Direct. Saris says that it's very quiet, but it delivers all the training performance that you might need, with up to 2000 watts resistance.
