ELITE Sterzo Smart Steering Block One Color, One Size

Sterzo was easy to connect to zwift

Recomendable

Gearing up for a long ride, I decided to go all out for a stationary bike Zwift setup to do my training. I equipped by Specialized Allez road bike with phone holder and Wahoo Kickr Core. Zwift runs off my Samsung phone using Dex and a 27" monitor. The setup worked well but was missing the steering component.On advice from a DC Rainmaker review, I decided to add the Elite Sterzo Smart Steering block. Setup is stupid simple and I had zero issues. Zwift integrates well with steering block. It allows some steering choices, but you cannot run into other cyclists or take your own path off-road.I am still on my original batteries after a few months and never turn it off. I believe it goes into a sleep mode when it senses it isn't being used. To use it, I just wiggle my handlebars and it connects within seconds.The only criticism I have heard is sweat can short out the circuit board. I have dripped some sweat on top of the unit but not enough for it to run down through the holes in the top platform. I haven't experienced this issue yet. Until I can find fault, I'm giving 5 stars.

Primero, hay que tener la app "Upgrado" de Elite en el movil. Con bluetooth activado, pero sin emparejar nada, buscar el Sterzo ahi en la app (mover el manillar para que se despierte), y hacer el upgrade de la firmware! No intentes lanzar Zwift sin este primer paso hecho.Desplues, es muy importante tener la conexion entre Zwift y el Sterzo por Bluetooth, ya que Zwift aun no soporta ANT+ para "steering" / la direccion. En mi ordenador no tenia Bluetooth, y Zwift presenta la opcion de usar el Bluetooth del movil por su app Companion. Por mi sorpresa, eso si me funcionaba bien, pero igualmente voy a poner bluetooth en el ordenador tambien, para no tener que usar el movil siempre con la app.En el Zwift de la actualicacion de Septiembre 2022 han añadido que ahora el Sterzo sirve para elegir el camino en cada cruze! Si estas en una ruta, te lo marca donde deberias ir, pero igual como con el teclado o con la app, puedes desviarte. Cuidado que no lo hagas por error. Sobre todo cuando querias acabar una ruta muy larga, que no te pase un desvio equivocado casi al final! :)Fuera de cruzes, puedes variar tu linea en la carretera, y eso da una sensacion mas natural al rodillo.Ride On !!!

Bought this on a whim now I'm using Zwift more than actually going out. Absolutely ramps up the immersion, makes pack riding more realistic, descending more fun and makes you feel like you're actually there. Brilliant piece of kit, is expensive but after only a few turns you will be hooked!Build quality looks to be fantastic, as per normal Elite gear, next day delivery as well and there's no downside I've found yet.
