Hi there. Bike shops are experiencing a booming increase in indoor trainer sales Smile
Have you looked through what TACX offers? Or SARIS?

I the Saris one goes above my budget but I might consider the タックス(Tacx) Flow Smart or the Bushido Smart, I have never tried out any kind of trainer, would you recommend this for a beginner?

I had Tacx Flow T2200 some five years ago (it's an older model). Used it for one winter season, recommended for beginners. Very positive feedback and good experience; even though I came to a realization that indoor trainers simply isn't my thing.

@pedreror1 basic Tacx trainer will do the work! Blue Matic T2650 is a classic beginner's indoor trainer in a very friendly price range. It was recommended by one of my biking buds. Search for "Blue Matic Smart" if pairing it with Zwift is your goal.

Did you end up buying Kickr Snap?
