Introduction
For several training sessions now, I have been using the ThinkRider XXPro together with MyWhoosh – and it’s genuinely enjoyable. Intervals run smoothly, endurance rides work effortlessly, and most importantly: the noise level is minimal. In this post, I’ll introduce the device in detail – technically, practically, and with my personal assessment.
1. Overview & Positioning
The ThinkRider XXPro is a direct-drive smart trainer with self-power generation. It belongs to the class of “power trainers”, meaning it doesn’t rely solely on magnetic or wind resistance but uses an active motor to generate resistance.
It is therefore suitable for athletes who…
- want to perform more intensive interval training,
- wish to simulate realistic gradients,
- prefer quiet and smooth operation,
- and value compatibility with apps such as MyWhoosh or Zwift.
