Is the Cycplus T3 worth it over the T2?

The T3 adds a much steeper 27% gradient limit, higher resistance and left-right balance data. The T2 is quieter and lighter, so pick it if noise matters more than climb simulation.

Does it work with Zwift and TrainerRoad?

Yes. It connects over ANT+ FE-C and Bluetooth FTMS, which both apps support, and ERG mode is included.

What bikes fit the T3?

It takes thru-axle 12x142 and 12x148 and quick-release 5x130 and 5x135, including most disc-brake frames. Check your dropout standard before ordering.

Can I use a 12-speed drivetrain?

The included cassette is 11-speed 11-28T. A 12-speed bike needs its own cassette and possibly a different freehub, since the stock one is Shimano HG or SRAM.

Cycplus rates it slightly louder than the T2. Expect noticeable motor noise at high resistance, so it suits a room where sound carries less.

The trainer, a pre-installed 11-speed 11-28T cassette and quick-release skewer. You supply the bike, and thru-axle adapters cover the listed sizes.

Our take on the Cycplus T3 Smart Trainer

The Cycplus T3 is a direct-drive smart trainer built around a permanent magnet synchronous motor instead of a resistance unit with a belt. It simulates gradients up to 27% and true downhill, handles up to 2800W, and reports power plus left-right balance over ANT+ FE-C and BLE FTMS, so it works with Zwift and TrainerRoad. It ships with an 11-speed 11-28T cassette pre-installed and fits thru-axle and quick-release frames, including disc-brake bikes. It suits riders who want steep virtual climbs and sprint-level resistance without paying flagship-trainer money, but it is heavier and noisier than the T2 it replaces.
