  • Artisan Quality and Design
Style: H3 Smart Trainer
There was a time when consumer products were designed by artisans, on clean sheets of paper using lead pencils, slide rules, and elbow grease. People rolled up their sleeves and designed stuff that was durable, reliable, and efficient. Take the Beechcraft Bonanza, for example, that lovely, iconic aircraft that'll never go out of style. Or the old Hoover vacuum cleaners, pleasing to the eye and exceptionally efficient. The Saris is made the same way. Let me explain. I bought one of the European brand trainers, made in Asia somewhere, for about the same price (~$900) a few months ago. It arrived in a poorly-designed box lined with styrofoam (not Earth-friendly, BTW) which had broken into pieces and powdered during shipping. The item had been scuffed but was still functional. It was not visually appealing and reminded me, in fact, of Megatron and Bumblebee had they produced offspring. Didn't fit my idea of aesthetics at all (I ride a Litespeed most days, although a carbon Ridley also gets a fair number of miles), but I figured I could live with it. I did, too, for about ten rides, until the Bluetooth connectivity failed and I couldn't get anywhere looking for help on line. I NEED to train; I get depressed without my wheels, so I pulled out the credit card and started looking, and found the Saris H3. After spending about ten minutes researching the thing I knew it'd be better than what I had, and if I wasn't pleased, well, Amazon has a great return policy. Delivery was promised by January 11, two weeks after the date of my order, but I received it in just three days. That was a very good start. The box into which it was packed was - no kidding - designed better than the trainer it was replacing. First off, the box was all cardboard, expertly cut and placed to protect the unit without a second external shipping box. Second, the box was smaller and the package lighter than the previous unit. Best of all, the H3 was in pristine condition. Unboxing revealed a kind of design I thought'd been abandoned forever; the thing is built in the main around a large, exceptionally lightweight aluminum casting of classically elegant form; if the Iron Giant's junkyard mentor had been tasked with this design, I would not have been surprised. I mean, who makes stuff like this anymore? Aluminum is an excellent design choice for nearly any kind of tool or machine, but plastic is cheaper, so everyone uses plastic. Not here. This thing is nice to just look at, but provides a great base and perhaps final resting place for my vintage 1990's Bianchi. It looked all wrong on the first trainer, but looks just right on the H3, sort of like the Hughes Hercules H2 at the Evergreen Aviation Museum (hey, maybe they're related...). Dig it; attaching the bicycle was a snap, as Saris provides three pairs of axle spacers so it'll fit any width rear frame, from old-school 130 mm rims to modern sizes with disk brakes. The spacers themselves are works of engineering art, being lightweight, precisely machined aluminum which attach or remove easily by threading on or off. They'd look great next to your high-end Ritchey or Thomson pieces. The hub for the cassette looks like a part of a modern turbofan jet engine, perhaps culled from a 787 or F-35, who knows? Unbelievably, it's been machined with relief channels to SAVE WEIGHT! Save weight on a stationary trainer? Saris did. My Sram 10-speed cassette mounted perfectly and required no spacers; the derailleur needed only a slight tweak to get the shifting right. A thin rubber O-ring provides a snug, vibration-free fit for the cassette against the hub, making for smooth and quiet running. There was almost zero slop in the fit, quite a bit less than if installed on the actual wheel, which again increases efficiency and keeps things quiet. The Bluetooth connected instantly to my Edge 520 and began displaying all the data with no issues. I liked that a lot, and I also like the the fact that Saris uses an external, "wall wart" style power supply, to greatly reduce the voltage going into the unit. This is firstly a huge safety feature, because, well, we don't want 120 volts sitting under our butts, and worse yet, bolted to our steel, aluminum, or titanium bicycle. Watts good, Volts bad...also, the low-voltage supply protects the unit from power surges. A spike in the voltage, if one doesn't have a surge protector or UPS system, might fry the wall wart but leave the expensive H3 unscathed. Two hours on this thing revealed that the design was more than just appearance; the resistance feels very realistic, and your Garmin will remember the resistance setting from the previous ride (although you still have to confirm it for each session). The unit models deceleration much better than my previous trainer, which had a lot of slop in the cranks coming over the top when downshifting. The Saris decelerates as expected and keeps your spin smooth and your attention on the workout, instead of questioning whether you suddenly forgot how to spin. It feels much more like an actual bicycle, which means I'll probably be training more indoors on those very hot days as well as when it's just too darn cold. All in all, a superb design, Made in USA, and of the highest quality and appearance. ... show more

  • Great Indoor Bike Trainer
Style: H3 Smart Trainer
I've waited to review this since it was a big purchase, but I've now hit 1,042 miles (64 rides) on Zwift, with a total time of 61 hours in the saddle. Setup: Fairly straight forward. I had never installed a cassette before so I bought the Luditek chain whip (ASIN: B07517WGKY) at the same time. Only took about 10 minutes to take the cassette off my wheel and install on the H3. I watched a couple of generic videos on how to do this, and the Saris website has an un-boxing video with great info as well. It comes with a spacer - the spacer stays on for 8-10 speed cassettes and comes off for 11 speed. That all worked fine and I was ready to ride. Each of the support legs has a height adjustment so make sure you screw those down so you're not wobbling back and forth. The unit itself seems very heavy duty and stable. Connection: I haven't had any issues connecting to my computer or iPhone to ride on Zwift. It usually auto connects after waking up the H3 and remembers the previous connection type (don't know if that's the H3 or Zwift). Within Zwift you can chose if you want bluetooth or ant+. I've been using Bluetooth connecting to a Mac Mini or the iPhone Zwift companion app. I've had 1 ride where the connection was lost (it reconnected after about 30 seconds) and 2-3 rides where I felt like there was a delay in the resistance changes, although I don't know if those cases were the H3, my computer, or Zwift so I'm not taking off any stars. Those cases were fairly soon after I got it so maybe the Firmware updates have fixed this issue. Overall it has performed great and been easy to connect. Ride: The resistance is amazing. If you're coming from an old school fluid trainer this thing will kick your butt. The hill resistance changes are consistent and in line with the gradient on screen. During erg mode workouts it does a great job holding at the specified wattage. Riding in Zwift you WILL be shifting and using your entire gear range. If you ride without connecting to a program (Zwift, the app, etc) it mimics a fluid trainer resistance, which is great for cooling down or warming up. My only complaint is the cadence calculation doesn't keep up when shifting. With firmware updates it has gotten more accurate when riding a consistent tempo, but drops out when shifting compared to the cadence output on my CatEye computer still mounted to the bike (which only shows cadence now). Not taking off any stars since this is a fairly minor complaint overall. The Saris App: This has received major updates in the last 2 months (almost like it wasn't ready when they launched the product). The firmware updates have worked without issues, the calibration works (I haven't noticed a major difference before and after so I think it was fairly close right out of the box for me), and the ERG mode functions as expected. The app is free so I'd recommend downloading that for the firmware updates and calibration. It has to be disconnected from other devices to connect to the app, so I usually check firmware and calibration about every 2 weeks at the end of a ride. Summary: Overall I'm very happy with this purchase and would highly recommend this unit. I've been riding more, riding longer and enjoying it MUCH more than I ever was with my old 'dumb' trainer. I'm also getting stronger and faster during the wet off-season. ... show more
