  • . The Elite Arion Digital Smart B+ FE-C Rollers are electronically controlled resistance rollers with wireless FE-C compatibility bringing the unique feel of rollers to interactive training. FE-C Smart Trainer protocol means that the trainer will be compatible with third party apps such as Zwift or Trainer Road. The Arion Digital Smart B+ rollers have all the standard features you would expect from a high quality roller set. The parabolic rollers give you a modern and functional design that improves handling and control and is compatible with both MTB and road bikes, while the frame includes an integrated step for easy mounting and dismounting. Unlike traditional rollers though, the Arion has included electronics package that will completely change the way you train. The resistance is controlled via an electromagnetic unit that can handle up to 1100 watts at 20 mph and can simulate climbing grades for a more realistic road feel.

No matter what type of bike product your buying, from the simple accessories through to the full setup of your custom built road bike, there are lots of important considerations that you should take into account, especially when you’re shopping online and unable to test the product first. This is especially true when you’re buying products like Turbo Trainers.

Our aim is simple, help you get the very best products for your budget. Whether that’s Elite Arion Digital Smart B+ FE-C or an alternative, we’ll do our best to find you unbiased, genuine customer reviews to help you make your decision. We’ve found 128 different products in the Turbo Trainers category at Chain Reaction Cycles and we’ve also managed to find 58 products from Elite (although only 28 of the 58 are in the Turbo Trainers category).

Our first piece of advice is for you to spend some time really getting to know what it is you’re looking for. An important feature for one person might be totally pointless and irrelevant to you, so get a good idea of what you want and need from your Turbo Trainers. Note down this list of key features that your product must have, that way when you’re comparing alternatives you have a starting point to decide whether one product meets your needs or not.

Price is the next and probably one of the most important factors of a purchase, so it’s really worthwhile spending a bit of time analysing the price of Elite Arion Digital Smart B+ FE-C and seeing how it stacks up against those offered by different brands or even other alternatives from Elite. Below we’re going to get into the detail of Elite Arion Digital Smart B+ FE-C to help you see how the prices stack up.

We start this price analysis by looking at the price you can expect to pay for Turbo Trainers. There are 128 different products available at Chain Reaction Cycles, and of those 128, the average price is £205.07. There’s quite a variance in price in this category too with the lowest priced product we found at £4.49 and most expensive was £2008.94.

The next stage we went on to, was to look at the price of products from the brand: Elite. The average price was £103.08 and we found that the price varies right from as little as £2.99 up to £863 with Elite products.

And finally we thought it would be good to give you an idea of Elite products that appear specifically in the Turbo Trainers category. So you can see that the price of Elite Arion Digital Smart B+ FE-C at £419.99 is great value considering the average price of Elite Turbo Trainers is £194.13 and the price varies from £6.39.

It’s also worth bearing in mind that we managed to find Elite Arion Digital Smart B+ FE-C during our price scan of several cycle retailers, for the amazing price of £419.99 which represents a £30.00 or 7% saving against RRP. If you think Elite Arion Digital Smart B+ FE-C ticks all of your boxes in terms of quality and features then it’s more than likely going to be a winner bearing in mind the price.
