FEEDBACK SPORTS OMNIUM

£349.99 The Omnium from Feedback Sports is the only true ‘manual’ trainer on test, with just a sliding mechanism underneath to increase or decrease the internal magnetic resistance. It has rollers at the rear and at the front you simply remove your wheel and attach your bike, which has adapters for quick releases and thru-axles. It’s essentially a similar ride feel to rollers without the risk of falling off, and the fork clamp is super sturdy. While it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of a smart trainer, the Omnium’s added value is to be found in its portability. Weighing just 6.2kg and easily foldable into its own tote bag, it’s pretty much two products in one: a capable, simple trainer to use at home and one you can take travelling for race warm-ups. If you already have a power meter and don’t spend a great deal of time training indoors, the Omnium could be for you. 2pure.co.uk
