Ask any avid indoor rider and they’ll tell you: once you’ve got a good smart trainer, the second-best upgrade you can make to your pain cave this winter is a powerful fan.

When you’re hammering out intervals or grinding through a long Zwift ride, your body generates a surprising amount of heat, and without the natural airflow you get when riding outdoors, that heat has nowhere to go. Before long, you’re drenched, uncomfortable, and watching your heart rate drift skyward for all the wrong reasons.

The funny thing is, most of us will spend thousands on smart trainers, bikes and data tools, but overlook the humble fan. You don’t even need to spend a fortune, either. A well-placed, high-powered fan can completely transform your comfort level, even in a small space.

Here are some of the best fan deals for indoor cyclists, whether you’re building out your first trainer setup or optimising an already dialled-in pain cave.

The budget option

The Amazon Basics Air Circulator Fan is proof that you don’t need to spend big to stay cool while riding indoors. A near clone of the classic Honeywell TurboForce, it delivers decent airflow for its compact size and simple design. The fan head tilts up to 90 degrees, so you can dial in airflow exactly where you need it. For the best results, keep it close and angled toward your torso. It's light, quiet, and cheap enough to justify buying two for cross-breeze coverage. For riders on a budget, this is an easy, no-frills way to make indoor training far more comfortable, and much smaller and quieter than a box fan.

The middle of the road option

The money's no object options

The CYCPLUS Smart Indoor Cycling Fan offers many of the same smart features as the KICKR Headwind, but at a slightly more affordable price. It connects via Bluetooth or ANT+ to your trainer, heart rate monitor, or cycling app, automatically adjusting airflow in real-time as your effort increases. Compact and quiet, it’s designed to fit neatly in front of your bike or on the ground, with four adjustable angles and multiple speed modes for customised cooling.

Cycling Weekly's North American Editor, Anne-Marije Rook is old school. She holds a degree in journalism and started out as a newspaper reporter — in print! She can even be seen bringing a pen and notepad to the press conference.

Originally from the Netherlands, she grew up a bike commuter and didn't find bike racing until her early twenties when living in Seattle, Washington. Strengthened by the many miles spent darting around Seattle's hilly streets on a steel single speed, Rook's progression in the sport was a quick one. As she competed at the elite level, her journalism career followed, and soon, she became a full-time cycling journalist. She's now been a journalist for two decades, including 12 years in cycling.
