30% off Elite's Turbo Roteo Fluid Smart B+ Turbo Trainer
WAS £399.00 | NOW £279.99

What you see here as the Elite Roteo turbo trainer, we saw as the Elite Volano turbo trainer when it came our way for review. Same product; different names. No, we don't understand either.

Anyway, direct drive turbo trainers give riders a much more realistic cycling experience. They're often more expensive, but you'll see a lot less wear and tear to your bike if you use one.

We highlighted the Volano's affordability in our review, and Decathlon's discount today makes it even more so. A bargain if you're looking to take your riding indoors this winter.

28% off Tacx's Flow Smart Turbo Trainer - T2200
WAS £249.99 | NOW £179.99

The Tacx Flow Smart Turbo is a different beast to the Elite turbo you saw above.

The Flow Smart uses a resistance unit - which is essentially a roller connected to a resistance motor - but the smart tag means it's a little more sophisticated than most.

By syncing your smartphone to the Flow Smart via Tacx's app you'll be able to control the unit's resistance and even programme it to follow specific programmes for a super realistic riding experience.

29% off Tacx's Blue Motion Pro Pack Turbo Trainer
WAS £169.99 | NOW £119.99

If you're a total newbie, Tacx's Blue Motion Pro Pack comes with a range of extra's that'll get you rolling (kinda).

The pack comes with £90 worth of free accessories; namely the Skyliner front wheel block for a slightly elevated riding angle and stability, an Etape du Tour training DVD, and a foldable training matt to stop your sweat getting on your carpet.

The trainer, meanwhile, is a HIgh Power Folding Magnetic Trainer, and offers 950 watts of resistance thanks to the 1.6kg flywheel in the resistance unit.
