Elite Tuo Exue Smart Trainer Instruction Manual

Introduction

The Elite Tuo Exue Smart Trainer is a new generation interactive FE-C wheel-on turbo trainer, designed with 20 years of Italian in-house expertise. It features an innovative and refined design, offering a quiet, strong, and smooth performance for all indoor cycling situations. The trainer's custom drive unit can produce up to 2,050 watts at 60 KM/H and replicate inclines of up to 10%. Power readings are calculated with a certified accuracy of 3% variance. The front legs are crafted from sustainably farmed European beech for improved vibration damping. The Tuo communicates via Bluetooth or ANT+ and is compatible with popular software platforms like Zwift and Trainer Road. It includes a 12-month subscription to Elite's My E-training app. The ElastoGel roller enhances tire grip, reduces noise, and minimizes vibration. It comes with a UK power supply and includes rear thru-axle adaptors for 142 x 12 disc brake frames and a spare quick-release for Mavic or similar non-compatible Q/R skewers.

Setup Guide

Follow these steps to correctly set up your Elite Tuo Exue Smart Trainer. For a visual demonstration, please refer to the provided setup video.

1. Base Installation

1. Place the bike trainer unit on a stable, flat surface.
2. Identify the two support legs. Note that the long side of the leg should align with the driver side (the side with the Freehub) of the trainer.
3. Align the holes on the support legs with the corresponding holes on the trainer's base.
4. Use the four provided screws and the hex key to securely attach the support legs to the trainer. Screw them in by hand first, then tighten with the hex key.

2. Cassette Installation (if not pre-installed)

If your trainer does not have a cassette installed, follow these steps:

1. Locate the widest notch on the Freehub of the trainer.
2. Find the widest step on your cassette.
3. Align the widest step of the cassette with the widest notch on the Freehub and slide the cassette onto the Freehub.
4. Continue installing the remaining cassette pieces, ensuring each step corresponds to a notch.
5. Screw on the end cap.
6. Tighten the cassette using a cassette wrench and cassette sleeve. If available, use a torque wrench to apply a torque of 40 Nm. Ensure the final loose piece does not move after tightening; if it does, remove and re-install.

3. Adapter Installation

The trainer supports both quick-release and thru-axle bikes. The thru-axle drive-side adapter seat is pre-installed by default.

• For Thru-Axle Bikes: The thru-axle drive-side adapter is pre-installed. For the non-drive side, select the appropriate adapter (142 mm or 148 mm rear spacing). Place the longer side of the adapter inward for 142 mm spacing, or flip it over so the shorter side faces inward for 148 mm spacing.
• For Quick-Release Bikes: If you have a quick-release bike, you will need to use the open-end wrench from the accessory kit to remove the pre-installed thru-axle drive-side adapter seat. Then, install the corresponding quick-release adapter seat (130 mm or 135 mm rear spacing). Place the longer side inward for 130 mm spacing, or the shorter side inward for 135 mm spacing. Secure it tightly using an open-end wrench.

4. Bike Mounting

1. Before mounting your bicycle, adjust your bike's cassette to the minimum gear for easier installation.
2. Remove the rear wheel from your bicycle.
3. Gently press the chain against the last piece of the cassette on the trainer.
4. Carefully lower your bicycle onto the trainer, ensuring the chain engages correctly with the cassette.
5. Insert and tighten the thru-axle or quick-release lever to secure the bike to the trainer.

Operating Instructions

Once your bicycle is securely mounted on the Elite Tuo Exue Smart Trainer, you are ready to begin your indoor cycling session.

1. Connect the power supply unit to the trainer and plug it into a suitable power outlet.
2. Turn on the trainer (if applicable, some trainers activate automatically upon power connection).
3. Open your preferred cycling software (e.g., Zwift, Trainer Road, Elite My E-training app) on your PC, iOS, or Android device.
4. Connect the trainer to the software via Bluetooth or ANT+. Follow the on-screen instructions within your chosen application to pair the device.
5. Begin your workout. The trainer will automatically adjust resistance based on the virtual terrain or your programmed workout, providing a realistic and immersive experience.
6. The trainer provides speed, pedal frequency, and power data for comprehensive training analysis.
