Hi all,
I am using the 4iiii Flight for a couple of weeks now. Since I am living in a flat and the walls are thin, I had to buy a very quiet smart-trainer.
Maybe I have important information for all of you, who think about buying or already bought this trainer.
– For the trainer to work properly, you need a very clean rim. My backwheel was 5 years old and had several scratches. I hat to order a completely new wheel.
– I tried to pair the Flight in Zwift via Bluetooth and ANT+ directly to my Microsoft surface tablet, which did not really work (maybe a software problem since the trainer is new on the market). Better try to use the Zwift-Companion app.
– I have troubles using Zwift, because the moment there is a large descent, the little robotic motion stops and there is no resistance to paddle anymore. You have the same problem when switching gears.
– I can’t use the standalone version also, because there is no android app to calibrate at the moment.
For now, I can train by choosing flat routes in Zwift. I would recommend waiting a couple of months more, before buying this product. Once 4iiii has solved the mentioned issues, this will be the go-to smart-trainer for all who need to be quiet at home.

Hi all. I’ve had this trainer for about two weeks now. Some background – this is my first smart trainer after 5 years on a trusty green Kinetic dumb trainer.
First, the 4iiii trainer is super compact and it’s going to be really easy to store in summer when I ride outdoors. It folds up very flat and can slide under a bed or into a closet. Also, the rumors that its very quiet are solid — it’s definitely much more quiet than my dumb trainer. There is a squeaking noise when the magnets adjust while riding (I have a note in to customer support about that).
Getting it set up was simple — my struggles were more on the software side since I haven’t used Trainer Road or Zwift before. That’s my main learning curve. And because I have not used any other smart trainer, I can’t say much about how it might compare to others.
When I’m pedaling smoothly, it feels just fine. If I just slow-pedal, it does seem to get very confused and keeps adjusting and readjusting the resistance. Customer support says it works best over 75 watts, so that makes sense. It also gets confused with sudden shifts into an interval on Zwift — not so much Trainer Road. But again, I’m not super sure this is a hardware or software issue.
Customer service is available only by email and it takes them at least 24 hours to get back you. There doesn’t appear to be any phone or chat support. And because this is a brand new product there just isn’t much out there as far as a knowledge base of other users. There’s a short FAQ section on the 4iiii site but that’s it. Again, just something to be aware of.
The big upside of course, is that the 4iiii is hundreds cheaper than a Kickr or Tacx direct-drive trainer. So that’s the trade. I hope as more people begin to use this model that there will begin to be more substantial information about it, but that will take some time.
As always, service from Power Meter City is top notch.
