Home Workouts and Zwift
A selection of popular smart machines, short articles of your choice and affiliate links to MGADGET/Magene, UPHILL LAB and friends cart with ThinkRider and CYCPLUS. If you contact the store by voice or in correspondence, say: “we are from FATRACING.”
Partners
MGADGET - the Russian operator of the Magene store. In their line there are machines from an accessible entrance to the flagship T600, and on the site there is a separate category of bicycle stations.
The links below are affiliate. They help FATRACING understand that the transition came from our section. We do not promise an automatic discount: when ordering or consulting separately, tell us that you are from FATRACING.
Friends' channel
Machines are highly dependent on the batch: complete set, freehub, power plug, axle adapters and warranty may vary. Therefore, in addition to dry characteristics, it is useful to watch channels where the guys really carry iron and are responsible for the supply.
Partners and orders
They carry CYCPLUS, Wahoo and other custom items, write about direct contacts with brands and group purchases. For ThinkRider, you can ask @uphill_order: the guys assemble machine accessories and check the supplies for the task.
Friends with machines
Carbonara regularly has ThinkRider X2 Max, X7-5 Pro, ST900, CYCPLUS T7 and R200. They write about availability, reservations, reviews, cassettes for a specific bike and shipment across Russia.
Marketplace
In the channel there are used machines like CYCPLUS T2 and ThinkRider X2 Max. This is not a store guarantee, but you can see the secondary market and real prices.
Selection
This is not a ”first-second-third" rating, but a practical choice card: which is more common in reviews, indoor applications and rider conversations. Check availability and warranty in Russia before payment.

Official specifications give 2200 watts, accuracy up to ± 1%, imitation of 20% and ANT+/Bluetooth; it is also found at flea markets.

UPHILL LAB carries T7 directly: 2200 W, slope up to 20%, accuracy ± 1%, virtual switching and landing adjustment.

Premium Wahoo line with high accuracy, Wi-Fi and a good ride feel.
Core is more expensive, but it is logical if the machine replaces the street for several months.
