Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.

The CYCPLUS R200 is a motor-braked indoor trainer listed at £299.00, sitting at #5 in this guide. It holds a 4.3 out of 5 rating from 29 ratings, simulates gradients of up to 19%, and connects over dual BLE/ANT+ to apps including Zwift and MyWhoosh.

The number that needs reading carefully is 2200W. It appears in the same bullet as the torque figure as a peak power rating for the brushless motor, not a sustained wattage — and no sustained wattage appears anywhere else on the page. Two fields also disagree with the rest of the listing: the rating count reads 29 while the star breakdown bars add up to 100, and the resistance mechanism field says 'Magnetic' where the bullets describe a brushless motor. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing itself, not from any testing we carried out.
