02_INTRODUCTION

Direto is a direct transmission hometrainer with
electronically managed magnetic resistance.
- Direto features an extensive range of resistance and
power output, direct and accurate power measurement,
smooth pedalling and compatibility with open data
transmission standards.
- Direto's main feature is an internal power measurement
system that evolves the concept of indoor training.
This hometrainer is an ergometer that directly and
accurately measures power output.
Resistance is generated by an extremely quiet integrated
magnetic braking unit.
The electronic Direto is able to connect to personal
computers (Windows, Mac), mobile devices (iOS and
Android) and cycle computers that feature ANT+ and/or
Bluetooth Smart technology.
Important features of My E-Training are:
- Video training
- Personalized training programs
- Google maps training
- Saving, importing and exporting data
By using an open ANT+ FE-C protocol, Direto is also
compatible with many other non-Elite software programs

that feature the same wireless protocol.
There are many software programs / apps / devices on the
market that are compatible with this protocol, and therefore
are fully compatible with Direto.

03_FREEHUB COMPATIBILITY

Direto is equipped with a freehub body compatible with
9/10/11-speed cassettes by Shimano® / SRAM® or by
other manufacturers that use the Shimano® Standard.
An accessory freehub body compatible with Campagnolo®
9/10/11 speed cassettes is available to replace the
original Shimano compatible body provided on Direto; body
replacement instructions can be found on paragraph 24.
Direto is compatible with bikes with 130 to 135 mm hubs
with 5 mm diameter quick release and with bikes with 12
mm x 142 mm thru-axle hubs.
The following accessories are available:
- adapter for bicycles with 148mm thru axle with 12mm
diameter.
- adapter for bicycles with 135mm thru axle with 10mm
and 12mm diameter.
If you are unsure about the type of derailleur on your
bicycle, refer to the bicycle documentation or contact your
dealer to ensure compatibility with Direto.

04_POWER RANGE

The power range covered by the roller is very wide and
depends on the speed. The faster you pedal, the wider
the power range. Nevertheless there may be extreme
conditions where the required power is outside of the range
(too high or too low).
In these cases the roller delivers the maximum/minimum
possible, and resumes working correctly as soon as the
conditions return to being compatible with the power
deliverable by the Direto. When the required power is
outside the available power range, the roller displays on
the monitor the actual power it is producing and not the
theoretical power.

05_SLOPE

The maximum simulatable slope on the Direto is a function
of speed and the weight of the individual rider. In fact, the
power required to pedal up a slope is function of the speed
(faster= more power) and of the weight (the heavier the
rider, the more power is required to climb any given slope).
