Born at the end of the 70s as builders of rollers for bike training and bike racks for cars, ELITE entered the bicycle market as a company with the ability to interpret the needs of the bicycle market sector by creating modern and original products.

1984, ELITE was the first company in Europe to create and produce a roller with posterior supporting stand, putting a milestone on the road of the development of this component. The bottle holder "Macan", which we introduced in 1987, revolutionised the basic concept of this accessory, with the introduction of new elements like for example the plastic covered head to hold the bottle in place more firmly, or like the adjustable runners for the screws which fix things to the frame. Little by little, thanks to this continuous feeling for innovation and research, the bottle holder has also evolved: the "Ciussi" model with its characteristic anti-vibration side buttons, and the innovative "Patao" with its futuristic design are the most evident fruits.

In 1989, in the ELITE house, the bicycle bottle "Unica" was born, with extremely singular style, with bent "neck" and specially protected top. The recent 90s have seen the birth of our best thermos bottles, like "Cikara ", "Pajaro Keratherm" and "Cioi Keratherm" , which are able to increase thermal insulation up to 50% more than traditional thermos bottles.

Finishing lines we are proud to have crossed first; goals which have added great lustre to our trademark, to such an extent that today ELITE sponsors 85% of the professional cycling teams. And if many prefer us, there must be a reason! And that is due to the attraction and functionality of our products, all "made in Italy" and all capable of marking the steps along this long march through the world of cycling

FITNESS MACHINES & ACCESSORIES

CRONO E-MAG IN & OUT with Travel Block The innovative Crono E-Mag In-Out hometrainer is equipped with a unique and revolutionary multi-function cycle computer that offers complete versatility. By switching automatically between Indoor or Outdoor settings, you can monitor all your ride statistics no matter how you want to train. The rider has all the information needed with 25 functions providing everything from wattage to distance, speed and outside temperature. Provides 6 levels of resistance which can be adjusted by simply pressing a button on the cycle computer console. The Crono E-Mag In-Out frame has an unique support structure that allows the wheel to grip the roller using the rider’s weight, without having to manually adjust the pressure. This replicates a ‘real road feel’ and allows more natural body movement than on conventional turbo trainers. Mounting your bike has never been simpler or quicker. The Crono E-Mag In-Out can be used with wheels that measure between 18” and 28”.
CRONO FLUID Elastogel The CRONO FLUID is a sealed hydrodynamic system that regulates the effort of the pedalling through a rotor submerged in oil with special characteristics of viscosity and high temperature resistance. System’s rotation speed determines the effort, more or less intense that is transmitted to the wheel. Everything happens inside an aluminium alloy housing, with wide cooling fins for a quick heat squandering. These are the advantages of this kind of unit: The easiness of use, no regulation of the effort is necessary because it self-adjusts with the variation of speed. You just have to use the gears of the bike, as when you are on the road to obtain different levels of resistance. The roundness of pedalling, much alike a road race; A greatly progressive resistance; The elastogel roller, which in this roller has bigger dimensions (45mm of diameter instead of the usual 30mm). The elastogel material allows a perfect adherence to the tire allowing progressions of the pedalling rhythm without noticing any slipping between the wheel and the roller itself. Crono Fluid is widely known as the most silent, smooth and easy to use trainer on the market.
CRONO HYDROMAG The CRONO HYDROMAG is the first hometrainer in the world that combine both the magnetic and fluid technology. Supplied with a large diameter Elastogel roller (45 mm), which allows it to obtain a greater adherence with the tyre and less turns with subsequent reduction of noise level 50% superior compared to a trainer with aluminium roller, and also a prolonging of product’s life and a 20% reduction of tire consumption. The CRONO HYDROMAG unit is a device that exploits the resistance caused by the rotation of discs that rotate at high speed in n oil-filled seating. The movement of one of the discs in which the permanent magnets are fixed generates the resistance variation at the same speed. This operation is controlled by a graduated shift lever, with five positions, that is fixed to the handlebar of the bike with a quick clamp. The resistance unit is built in an aluminium alloy with its fins for the squandering of heat that maintain a low temperature of the device. The dimensions and the geometry of the resistance unit are the result of a series of tests carried out with the help of the proper electronic equipment, that allowed to evaluate the behaviour of the system at all different resistances and speed. The oil used has particular characteristics of viscosity and thermal dilation that make influent the temperature variation on the resistance given. The system uses also the resistance of some neodymium magnets fixed around an iron disc that rotates at high speed. By acting on the position of this disc compared to an aluminium disc fixed on the shell, it is possible to obtain the resistance variation given by the difficulty of the aluminium disc to “cut” the magnetic flow and the increase of the rotating surfaces in the oil.
CRONO MAG ELASTOGEL The CRONO MAG is a magnetic-type training roller with five different constant-speed resistance levels. It is possible to have various effort with a command lever that is fixated to the handlebar (from Ø 25.4 and Ø 31.8 mm) with a clamp that has a quick release. The resistance on the CRONO MAG is generated by powerful magnets placed on the flywheel and two discs that cross its magnetic field. The big flywheel, whose weight reaches 1700 gr., offer an inertia that can make the pedalling round and progressive also in coincidence with the change in the resistance level. The CRONO MAG has the Elastogel roller, that gives a greater adherence to the tyre, with a subsequent decrease of 50% of the noise compared to a trainer with an aluminium roller, it also has a decrease of 20% in tyre USURA. Another very important innovation of the Crono Mag is the frame, with his compass structure that allows to move the load on the resistance unit in function of the weight and the position of the athlete, differently from what happens with a classic kind of frame, where such load is pre-determined by a constant load mechanic system.
MAG ALU Concept The very easy to use magnetic home trainers. It is equipped with a magnetic resistance unit that is adjustable in five different levels. You don’t have to get off the bicycle, just operate on the handy graduated lever that can be fitted onto the handlebar, thus adapting the amount of effort to your level of fitness or to a specific training program. The folding frame is very compact when not in use.
MAG Elastogel The practical home trainer always at hand. Smooth pedalling, possibility of choosing from 5 resistance levels, absolute quietness and maintenance-free. Precisely everything offered by the Mag, the adjustable home trainer, equipped with a magnetic resistance unit, it uses the new ELASTOGEL roller that guarantees real quietness and smoothness. It has a very stable folding frame and is equipped with handy cable hooks. The ergonomic gear shifter remotely regulates 5 resistance levels. Pedalling is always smooth and silent with the Elastogel roller.
PARABOLIC ROLLERS The Parabolic Roller is suitable for sports training, that simulates realistically the feeling of a road race, since the back wheel is not bound to the frame but slides freely. It has three thermoplatic material rollers, two of which are connected to a transmission belt and bound to a strong painted iron frame. The cylinders rotate on sealed bearings and have a particular parabolic shape that helps keep the bike perfectly in axis. Parabolic Roller is pliable and can easily fit even the trunk of a small car.

GEL BLOCK is an indispensable accessory that allows you to pedal on Elite trainers with a perfectly horizontal position, just like riding on the road. Thus the bike will always be aligned for a perfect riding position. The non-skid Elastogel insert guarantees maximum stability for the front wheel, eliminating any vibration on the handlebar for a more comfortable ride.	Users of trainers know that when the rear carriage is fixed to the structure, the rear wheel is higher than the front one and the frame of the bike therefore inclines forwards. In order to level out the frame, the “Travel Block” was invented. It’s a kind of “rail” made from a block of thermoplastic material that both ensures the bike is perfectly linear and, thanks to its non-slip feature, prevents the front wheel that is fitted into it from slipping sideways.

The TRAINING MAT is specifically designed for indoor trainers. Placed between the trainer and the floor, it protects the floor from the corrosive effects of sweating and at the same time absorbs the sound properties to limit the noise produced by indoor trainers.	PROTEC is a useful accessory to use whilst training as it protects the bicycle from perspiration.
