Ride TerraFlo routes on a Saris trainer

H3 and M2 use Bluetooth FTMS. Mag is a manual trainer with five resistance levels.

Where this family stands

Saris H3 / H3 Plus and M2 use Bluetooth FTMS and ANT+ FE-C. A third-party app can read speed and power and drive resistance without a Saris-only session. The Saris app is for firmware.

H3 Plus is the direct-drive smart trainer: ±2%, 20% grade, 2000 W (machine spec). M2 is the wheel-on smart trainer: ±5%, 15% grade, 1500 W.

Mag is not a smart trainer. It has five manual magnetic levels. Apps only see it with an external speed sensor, and the rider sets resistance. TerraFlo does not drive Mag.

What happens when you pair

When you pair over Bluetooth, TerraFlo discovers which telemetry the machine sends, which controls it accepts, and where its limits are. It keeps learning that setup over time.

If your Saris model does not respond over Bluetooth, send the exact model name from the Beta page.

TerraFlo learns this machine

H3, H3 Plus, and M2 pair over Bluetooth FTMS and ANT+ FE-C. Mag does not.

Grade-shaped resistance

Route grade can shape resistance on H3 and M2. TerraFlo does not drive Mag.

Your data stays yours

Completed sessions are private by default and can export to Strava, Apple Health, Health Connect, or TCX where supported.
