description CycleOps Magnus Smart Trainer Overview
help CycleOps Magnus Smart Trainer FAQ
What kind of resistance does the CycleOps Magnus use?
The CycleOps Magnus is a wheel-on smart trainer that uses a fluid resistance unit and flywheel to create an indoor riding load. The rear wheel stays mounted on the trainer rather than being replaced by a direct-drive cassette.
Can the CycleOps Magnus connect to Zwift?
The Magnus can broadcast trainer data through wireless protocols supported by compatible cycling apps. Zwift compatibility depends on the computer, phone, receiver, and software version used for the connection.
Does the CycleOps Magnus measure power?
The smart version reports estimated power data based on its resistance system and speed information. It should not be treated as identical to readings from a dedicated crank, pedal, or hub power meter.
Is the CycleOps Magnus a direct-drive trainer?
No, it is a wheel-on trainer. The bicycle's rear tire contacts the trainer roller, so correct tire pressure and roller tension affect noise, feel, and power consistency.
