On par with our own review, the Saris H3 also has plenty of positive Amazon reviews, with an average of 4.4 out of 5 stars, and 77% of those being top marks. It's worth noting that Amazon are also selling the H3 Plus for the same price, with free shipping if you're an Amazon Prime Member. Saris also offers free shipping on orders over $150.

One of the key features that earns the H3 Plus its top marks is its heavier flywheel, at 20lb, it delivers precision balance, creating realistic inertia and giving a smoother, more realistic feel. The overall weight of the H3 Plus comes in at 9kg, making it on the heavier side compared to its rivals – the Wahoo Kickr Move weighs in at 7.3kg, but also costs nearly three times the price.

As mentioned, the newer H3 Plus now has the added benefit of seamlessly integrating with 12-speed drivetrains. However, it doesn't come with a cassette, so you'll have to factor that in when considering a purchase, or be prepared to keep switching your own one over.

This Saris H3 Plus deal is US only, but below you'll find the best deals available in your territory, and I've added a few other standout discounts from other products in the Saris range.

Featuring a handlebar-mounted shifter, you can easily change resistance mid-ride, and if you want to use a training app, simply add the Saris Speed sensor (purchased separately) and you're good to go.
