The Tacx Neo Smart Turbo Trainer offers the best in power & intelligence, plus it’s the quietest indoor trainer currently available on the market. The lack of any physical transmissions means this is the first true direct drive. Road feel is simulated in a highly realistic manner, there is no loss of power. The powerful motor can apply resistance up to 2200 Watt & simulate slopes realistically up to 25%. It also speeds up during descents. This ensures the most realistic cycling experience, also during climbs. The lack of any physical transmission, & in turn any parts that could rattle or rub against each other, ensures this trainer is extremely quiet. In addition, this trainer requires no calibration & suffers no wear & tear. Just like other Smart trainers, the NEO communicates using ANT+ & Bluetooth Smart, allowing it to be connected quickly & easily with Tacx apps. Performance data can be viewed on several devices simultaneously, including your smartphone, bike computer & sports watch.
