New Year’s resolution to ride more? These are the best smart trainer deals at every price point to turbo-charge your fitness

Garmin Tacx Boost: was $299.99, now $179.99 at Competitive Cyclist

Wheel-on trainers are more affordable than their direct drive counterparts, making them a good choice if you're on a budget or just starting out. This offering from Tacx features manual resistance control that puts you in charge, with said resistance in a closed unit for a quieter ride. It can be connected to your devices via Bluetooth Smart and ANT+. and comes with a front wheel block. Currently with 40% off retail. 

UK: was £229.99, now £179.99 at Amazon

Garmin Tacx Flux S: was $749.99, now $499.99 at Backcountry

In our guide to the best cheap smart trainers, we gave the nod to the Flux S as the best overall direct-drive model. It simulates climbs up to 10% and watts up to 1,500, and delivers a solid and realistic ride - though its stability means it's pretty heavy. Currently with 33% off retail, it's a great way to enjoy the benefits of a direct-drive trainer without breaking the bank.

UK: was £599, now £449 at Sigma Sports

Garmin Tacx Neo 2T: was $1,399.99, now $899.99 at Backcountry

Another offering from Tacx. This is its range-topping direct drive turbo - and it shows. It has a max power of 2,200 watts, measured to a +/- 1% accuracy,  and can simulate climbs up to 25% - and it has an in-built rocker too.. You can read our in depth review of the Neo 2T for more detail but we especially liked the cobble effect feature. Currently with 35% off retail, which brings this flagship trainer well under $1000.

Wahoo Kickr Snap: was £429.99, now £249.00 at Sigma Sports

While typically  it's one of the more expensive wheel-on options, with 42% off it becomes a far more palatable. The Snap is both Bluetooth and ANT+  compatible making it a breeze to sync with your favourite devices. It's 1500 watts max power and 12% simulated incline are similar to entry level direct drive trainers, as is its general ride quality. 

Elite Directo-XR T direct drive trainer: was £829.99, now £489.99 at Tredz

While this isn't Elite's entry-level direct drive trainer, this deal on the top-tier Directo-XR T is so good it means that you can pick it up for just a few pounds more than the brands 'cheaper' trainers. Well-suited to powerful riders and climbers alike thanks to 3,600 max watts and a simulated gradient of up to 24%. Currently with almost £400 off retail. 

Tacx Neo 2 Special Edition direct drive trainer: was £1,199.99, now £649.99 at Wiggle

This is quite the deal, delivering a top-end direct drive trainer for under £700. The Neo 2 SE combines the internal workings of the Neo 2 with the axle of the Neo 2T. That means you get 2,200 max watts, incline gradients of up to 25% alongside compatibility with 142x12mm and 148x12mm axles straight out of the box.
