If you want to get the most out of Zwift, TrainerRoad, The Sufferfest or other indoor training software, it's worth considering investing in a smart trainer.

To make your life easier, we've compiled a list of all the smart trainers that we've reviewed and are fully compatible with the ever-popular online trainer videogame Zwift, the training software TrainerRoad and The Sufferfest.
