Why is this such a good deal?
- Full disclosure - this is not the newest Bushido. The Bushido Smart is listed here
- If you don't plan to use a tablet or smart phone and only plan to use the trainer, you'll get the same workout and save more than $300 dollars in the process!
What can it do?
The Bushido is a self-powered trainer so no electricity needed, and it can be used inside or outside. Outside may seem unnecessary for some - but not if you've ever been at a race and wanted to warm-up.If you get or have a USB ANT+ dongle, you can connect to a PC and use the trainer with the Tacx PC software. A kit for this is currently available.
Even if not connected to a PC or other device, you'll still be able to track heart rate, watts, speed and cadence and control the powerful brake from a wireless handlebar control and display unit.
The handlebar control has a graphical display and is programable for training sessions with controlled slope and power options.
A heart rate strap is not included, but the trainer is compatible with ANT+ heart rate straps, including the Bushido ANT+ strap.
A skyliner front wheel support is included to support your front wheel.
