Tom Bowers Cycling
8 de octubre de 2025
I’ve just set up the Cycplus T2H as my new turbo trainer , but is it actually any good? Here’s my take on its noise performance.
CYCPLUS sent me the unit to test for free, but I wasn’t paid and I’m under no obligation to say positive things. (Affiliate) link if you want to check it out: https://www.cycplus.com/?ref=bsksykik use coupon TOMBOWERS for 5% off

Creado: 29 de marzo de 2026The reviewer provides a detailed, long-term review of the CYCPLUS T2H Smart Trainer, which they received for free but were not sponsored to review. They used it as their primary training device for two months. The reviewer states that Cycplus completely redesigned the internals from the older T2 model, incorporating the successful brushless motor design from the T3 into the T2 body. The 'H' version indicates non-foldable legs. They highlight the ride feel, noting significant side-to-side flex engineered for comfort, and praise its quiet operation, being quieter than wheel-on trainers and their old Elite Direto XR. They analyzed power accuracy using Favero Assioma Duo pedals and found it to be 'pretty much spot-on' for most workouts, with minor discrepancies in sprints attributed to typical drivetrain losses. Downsides include a 'bumpy and jumpy' sensation when pedaling in very low gears at low flywheel speeds, a lack of Zwift virtual shifting integration (though Cycplus sells a separate shifter), and no Wi-Fi direct connectivity. A positive unique feature is its ability to operate unpowered for warm-ups. On value, they find it competitive at its price point but note newer competitors like the Kicker Core and Van Rysel D100 offer strong alternatives. The reviewer concludes it's a great product they plan to continue using, appreciating its comfort for long indoor sessions.
Resumen IA
Pros
- Comfortable ride feel due to engineered side-to-side flex/give
- Very quiet operation, quieter than wheel-on trainers and the reviewer's old Elite Direto XR
- Power accuracy is 'pretty much spot-on' and lines up well with power meter pedals during most workouts
- Competitive price point ($460 / £340) for a well-featured mid-range trainer
- Uses a brushless motor design from the well-reviewed T3 model
- Can operate completely unpowered for limited use (e.g., warm-ups in a car park)
- Not being tied to Zwift's proprietary virtual shifting ecosystem is a potential pro for users of other platforms
Cons
- Can produce a 'bumpy and jumpy' or 'biting' sensation when pedaling in very low gears (e.g., 34x34) at low flywheel speeds, especially when cadence drops
- Lacks native integration with Zwift virtual shifting (requires a separate Cycplus shifter)
- No Wi-Fi direct connectivity
- Power readings during sprints lag slightly behind power meter pedals, which is typical for direct drive trainers but could be closer
- Non-foldable legs (H version)
