An accessory freehub body compatible with Campagnolo ®
9/10/11 speed cassettes is available to replace the original
Shimano compatible body provided on Direto X; body
replacement instructions can be found on paragraph 20.
Direto X is compatible with bikes with 130 to 135 mm hubs
with 5 mm diameter quick release and with bikes with 12
mm x 142 mm thru-axle hubs.
The following accessories are available:
- adapter for bicycles with 148mm thru axle with 12mm
diameter.
- adapter for bicycles with 135mm thru axle with 10mm
and 12mm diameter.
If you are unsure about the type of derailleur on your
bicycle, refer to the bicycle documentation or contact your
dealer to ensure compatibility with Direto X.
04_POWER RANGE
The power range covered by the roller is very wide and
depends on the speed. The faster you pedal, the wider
the power range. Nevertheless there may be extreme
conditions where the required power is outside of the range
(too high or too low).
In these cases the roller delivers the maximum/minimum
possible, and resumes working correctly as soon as the
conditions return to being compatible with the power
deliverable by the Direto X. When the required power is
outside the available power range, the roller displays on
the monitor the actual power it is producing and not the
theoretical power.
05_SLOPE
The maximum simulatable slope on the Direto X is a
function of speed and the weight of the individual rider.
In fact, the power required to pedal up a slope is function
of the speed (faster= more power) and of the weight (the
heavier the rider, the more power is required to climb any
given slope).
Direto X uses a magnetic braking system that acts directly
on a moving metallic disc to gradually and uniformly
adjust resistance. This technology allows for very accurate
changes in slope, even when small, by taking into account
the inertia experienced when riding on the road. Both
increases and decreases in resistance adjustment are
thereby gradual. This system also ensures that pedals will
not lock-up, which could have occured at exceedingly high
power outputs.
06_POWER MEASUREMENT
Direto X features an integrated power measurement system.
This patented system measures with great accuracy the
power developed by the cyclist during training.
Measured power accuracy: ± 1,5 %.

07_DATA TRANSMISSION PROTOCOLS
Direto X uses two different transmission protocols to
interact and send data to software / app / device.
Please contact the app / software / device manufacturer
to verify compatibility with one or more of these protocols.
BLUETOOTH SMART
"Fitness Machine - Indoor Bike service" (FTMS) protocol.
This protocol sends training data to compatible software
/ app / device and adjusts resistance on the hometrainer.
This protocol offers total interaction with the hometrainer.
"Speed&Cadence Service" protocol*: this protocol
transmits hometrainer speed and cadence data, but does
not allow interaction between software / app / device and
the hometrainer.
"Power Service" protocol: this protocol transmits the
cyclist’s power output data, but will it also not allow
interaction between software / app / device and the
hometrainer.
In most cases, smartphones and tablets already feature
Bluetooth Smart connectivity, so there is no need for
additional components to communicate with the Direto
X. However, the more outdated devices might not be
compatible. Please consult your app provider to make sure
that it’s Bluetooth Smart compatible.
NOTE: When the hometrainer is connected to the device
by a Bluetooth Smart protocol, it cannot be connected to
additional BLE devices.
This is a restriction of the Bluetooth Smart protocol itself.
ANT+
"ANT+ FE-C" protocol: this protocol allows the software /
app / device to receive training data and adjust hometrainer
resistance. This protocol permits total interaction with the
hometrainer.
"ANT+ Speed&Cadence" protocol*: this protocol transmits
hometrainer speed and cadence data. Although more
common than the ANT+ FE-C, it does not allow interaction
and the app/software/device.
"ANT+ Power" protocol: this protocol transmits the
cyclist’s power output data. Also much more common than
the ANT+ FE-C, but this protocol does not allow interaction
between the hometrainer and the app/software/device.
With the exception of smartphones that feature integrated
ANT+ connectivity, a USB dongle is necessary to connect
via the ANT+ protocol.
An ANT+ flash drive is required when using Android, PC
Windows and Mac devices. It’s available for purchase on
the www.shopelite-it.com website or via other channels –
it’s required to connect the device to the hometrainer via
