The key feature of the H3 is its ease of use, its basically plug and play. So no matter your experience, or technical ability, this turbo is ready to go out of the box. Best of all, the cassette is pre-installed, so no chain whip or cassette removal tool is needed - you can be riding in minutes. We loved how precise it was too, replicating on-road riding characteristics with its 20lb flywheel delivering realistic feedback through the pedals and power accuracy within +/- 2%. With 2000 watts of resistance, it and can replicate 20% inclines.

We found the stability of the H3 to be a bonus, and it provided a solid platform for hard efforts, meaning the overall package of the H3 is excellent, and this deal represents real value for money. It's worth mentioning again that this Saris H3 deal comes with a cassette, which a lot of rival trainers don't include, so it sweetens the deal further, meaning you don't have to buy one or remove your own from your bike's wheel.
