Yeah, pricing seems rather high considering the Wahoo Climb retails at $600 USD. If Elite has “solved” the failure problem that Wahoo created via their overworked belt design (looks like a linear screw actuator to me), and actually offer some useful function via the steering (physical interaction and game use), then that price difference may be justifiable.
But I think it’s a hard sell at this point, especially considering the Rizer retails for more than several of the compatible trainers it’s meant to accompany
