The main ‘thing’ about the Elite Suito is the whole concept of ‘pull it out of the box, start riding’. If you found this review useful, feel free to hit up the links at the end of the review. As always, once I’m done with this thing I’ll get a shipping label on this loaner unit and it’ll head back to Elite. From accuracy to what’s in the box, and plenty more. And I’ll dive into that a bit later on, what went wrong, what’s different now, etc…īut before we do, we’ll run through all the usual in-depth review bits. Like every other trainer (or indoor bike) this season, Elite joined the ‘that was rough’ club for early adopters.

Great – so it sounds like the perfect mid-range trainer at $799.īut did it live up to that hype? Well, it probably depends on when exactly you got a Suito. And finally – it was designed to be entirely ready to ride by just pulling it out of the box – no assembly required. It also has a very small footprint for those that wanted to store it away (or under) something. The only other trainer in the market that did that was the $1,199 Wahoo KICKR.Ītop that, at the time, Elite also threw in a 30-day trial of Zwift – which then was actually unique (now, not so much).

With the Suito the main selling point was that the cassette was included (saving you $50-$70 in costs, depending on whether you had tools) – plus the savings in time/hassle. The Suito made a name for itself by essentially copying the same Elite formula as a few years ago: Offer a good medium-range product that undercuts everyone else on price.

It’s been about five months since the Elite Suito was first announced back in July.
