About the Pinnacle HC Turbo Home Trainer

Life indoors: an exciting two-wheel world is waiting and the adventure starts with the new Pinnacle Turbo Trainer HC. Where does the HC come from? Well, in the cycling world it relates to 'Hors Categorie' and is a French term used to describe the toughest climbs.

The Pinnacle HC Turbo is a smart trainer that delivers realistic ride simulation matched by connectivity and industry-standard precision for a quiet, uncompromising experience for you to enjoy the ride.

Bringing the outdoor ride indoors, the Pinnacle HC provides the ideal amount of inertia for a realistic experience, minus the weather of course. At the beating heart of the trainer, the flywheel has been developed to match the resistance unit to bring real-life bike sensations indoors. It also comes equipped with an integrated cadence sensor to help keep you up to speed.

From first time indoor riders to seasoned roadies, the Pinnacle HC is the ideal trainer for any household. Easy to set up, ANT+ and Bluetooth allow the trainer to communicate and connect to your preferred devices and applications. Create your own indoor world using a smartphone (IOS/Android), computer (Windows/MAC OS), GPS or FEC-enabled devices to connect to your favourite training platform. The Pinnacle HC connects to popular training software including ZWIFT, TrainerRoad, Rouvy, Kinomap, PerfPRO and TACX films (for TTS).
