The reviewer provides a comprehensive review of the Think Rider XX Pro turbo trainer, which they received from AliExpress. They are impressed with the solid build quality, heavy construction, and stability during sprints. The turbo uses a brushless motor for resistance and claims to simulate up to 25% gradient and 2500 watts. The reviewer tests power accuracy against a reference power meter and finds it very accurate across various efforts. They note the turbo has an aggressive power smoothing algorithm that can be turned off in the app, and mention a slight whining sound at high flywheel speeds. The reviewer highlights the excellent value, especially with discount codes, making it significantly cheaper than competitors.
