Are you shopping on AliExpress for the first time?

The process is via the AliExpress mobile app, where most people shop. There are two key things: don’t use Buy now and enter the coupon only in the order summary, in the field Promo code. After you click Pay now, you won’t be able to add it.

1. Copy the code and click Use discountIn our article, copy the coupon and click the button GET DISCOUNT. The link will take you directly to the product in the AliExpress app.
2. Use Add to cart instead of Buy nowOn the product card, scroll down and tap Add to cart. Don’t use the Buy now button—you’ll skip the cart, and later you won’t have anywhere to enter the coupon. Before that, double-check the variant: the color, the version, and whether it ships from an EU warehouse.
3. Through the cart, go to CheckoutA pop-up will appear: Added to cart! — tap Check it out in it. If it disappeared, open the cart with the icon at the bottom right. In the cart, check the product and quantity, then click the red Checkout. Only the items marked with the red ring will be applied.
4. Enter your address and card, then look for Promo codeIn the order summary, first fill in the delivery address and payment card at the top. Below them there’s a line Promo code — expand it with the arrow on the right.

   

5. Paste the code and confirm ApplyIn the field Promo code paste the copied code and click the black Apply. The code is case-sensitive and must not contain spaces.

   

6. Check the savings and payIn the Summary expand the line Saved — you’ll see the applied coupon there as AliExpress coupons/codes. Only when Total is really lower, click Pay now.

   

Apply the discount already at the order summary. After you click Pay now, you can no longer add a coupon. If Apply shows an error, the code has either expired, doesn’t apply to your items, or the order doesn’t meet the minimum amount.

The Store Coupon also goes in the same field. — a coupon from the seller itself, which isn’t always available and changes from day to day. AliExpress coupons can’t be combined, so try both and go with the one that gives you more. Coins are added automatically.

Stable construction and direct drive for a realistic riding feel

ThinkRider X2Max is a direct-drive trainer, so the rear wheel comes off and you attach the bike frame directly to the trainer hub. Thanks to the pyramid-shaped base, the ride is very stable, and during sprints or when standing on the pedals, the structure doesn’t wobble or twist. All rotating parts are hidden under a cover, so children or pets can’t reach them.

On the aluminum frame, there’s a practical carrying handle. The whole body weighs about 16 kg, so you can carry the trainer to another room with one hand or put it away when you’re not training. The manufacturer notes that one of the thru axle adapters is already installed directly in the device at the factory, so you won’t find it separately in the package.

2000 W output and climbing simulation up to 18 %

ThinkRider X2Max can simulate gradients up to 18 % and, during sprints, delivers an analog power output of up to 2000 W, which is more than enough even for strong cyclists. When riding into a “virtual hill,” the resistance increases automatically based on the route profile in the app, and on flat sections you can train with consistent time trials.

At the heart of the trainer is a custom DER dynamic electromagnetic braking system that responds with thousands of calculations per second. Resistance changes are smooth and without delay, so transitions between climbs and descents feel natural, and your training is much closer to real riding on the terrain.

Accurate measurement of power, speed, and cadence

The manufacturer states that power measurement accuracy is ±2 %, which is also the standard even for much more expensive trainers and standalone watt meters. That way, you can manage interval workouts, FTP tests, and gradual form improvements without needing any additional hardware for your bike.

The newer version of ThinkRider X2Max also adds a separate cadence metric. That way, the trainer shows you a complete set of data—power, speed, and pedaling frequency. You don’t need an extra cadence sensor or speed sensor on the rear wheel—everything is transmitted directly from the trainer via ANT+ or Bluetooth.

A quiet operation that won’t disturb your neighbors

At a simulated speed of around 30 km/h, the manufacturer measured noise at only approximately 56 – 57 dB. That’s about the level of normal conversation, so an evening workout shouldn’t disturb the rest of the family—or your neighbors behind the wall. And when using road tires on your bike, you also won’t hear the typical whirring you get with classic roller trainers.

A closed mechanism with a belt takes care of smooth operation and minimizes vibrations. Even under higher loads and during sprints, the trainer feels solid, without unpleasant resonance or metallic sounds—which is a big plus when riding in an apartment or at home.

Compatibility with popular apps and ERG mode

ThinkRider X2Max has built-in ANT+ and Bluetooth connectivity, so you can pair it with most training platforms without any issues. The manufacturer lists support for apps like Zwift, Rouvy, TrainerRoad, Onelap, Kinomap, BKOOL Cycling, Wahoo systeamX, FulGaz, and its own ThinkRider app.

An ERG mode is also a must-have, where the trainer automatically adjusts the resistance so you can hold your target power regardless of the gear you’ve selected. This mode is ideal for structured intervals, zone training, and FTP tests—when you want to focus only on pedaling, not on shifting.

Support for both road and MTB bikes, and for different numbers of gears

You can attach a road or mountain bike to the trainer. The manufacturer explicitly states that ThinkRider X2Max is also suitable for MTB, so you don’t need a special “trainer” road tire. In the box, you’ll find the necessary adapters and reducers, with one thru axle adapter already installed from the factory.

When it comes to drive compatibility, a 7-speed cassette can be used, but you’ll need to add 1–2 extra spacers. For 12-speed setups, SHIMANO 12V is compatible directly, while SRAM 12V requires an XDR freehub body, which you can order separately. The cassette isn’t included, so you can either use the one from your bike or buy a separate one just for the trainer.

Calibration, software, and warranty

To keep power measurement as accurate as possible even after long-term use, the manufacturer recommends regular calibration. It’s done using the ThinkRider Tools tool, which you download from the manufacturer’s official website. The process is simple, runs via Bluetooth, and even less experienced users can handle it.

For the trainer itself, you get a 2-year warranty. After it expires, you can still order replacement parts and repair components directly from the manufacturer—so you don’t have to worry that ThinkRider X2Max would be “written off” after a few seasons due to a minor malfunction.
