What it is
The ROLLR holds the front wheel in a clamp while the rear wheel spins on rollers, so any bike mounts in seconds with no cassette or axle compatibility to think about. Resistance is controlled by apps like a regular smart trainer.
What to know
It has no built-in power meter: without one it broadcasts speed and steady resistance, but for watts, ERG mode and gradient control it pairs to your bike’s own ANT+ power meter via Power Meter Connect. Worth it for multi-bike households; less so if you want one box that does everything.
