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 stan-
dards.
- Direto's main feature is an internal power measurement sy-
stem 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 ma-
gnetic braking unit.
- The electronic Direto is able to connect to personal compu-
ters, mobile devices (iOS and Android) and cycle computers
that feature ANT+™ and/or Bluetooth Smart technology.

- Saving, importing and exporting data
- Challenge other users
By using an open ANT+™ FE-C protocol, Direto is also compa-
tible 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.

FREEHUB COMPATIBILITY

Direto is equipped with a freehub body compatible with
9/10/11-speed cassettes by Shimano
manufacturers that use the Shimano
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 replace-
ment instructions can be found on page 42.
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.
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.

POWER RANGE

The power range covered by the roller is very wide and depen-
ds 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 pos-
sible, 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.

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).
Direto uses a magnetic braking system that acts directly on a
