The trainer for riders who want to be entertained while they ride. With its excellent value for your money & premium virtual reality training the i-Flow makes enjoyable training accessible to everyone. An ergonomically shaped frame is designed to slightly rebound for a more natural riding feel while the handlebar mounted interface puts all the control right at your finger tips. Electro magnetic braking is less powerful than traditional motor brakes but provides a more realistic cycling experience. You can really feel the rolling, air & incline resistance you would normally encounter when riding. Electro brake The i-Flow works with an electro brake. By placing magnets & electro magnets beside a rotating aluminium disc, eddy currents are created which generate an opposing magnetic field. In this way a non-contact, maintenance-free brake is realized that is also silent. Thanks to the electro brake a resistance can be set that you also experience on the road or in a climb. Virtual speed The electro brake does not have a downhill drive, such as the motor brake of the i-Genius, & it generates less power while riding uphill. When you are cycling in a virtual terrain or in a film you can get outside the range for which the brake is intended. In the second graph the working range of the i-Flow is shown. To allow cyclists with a motor brake & cyclists with an electro brake to ride races against each other in Multiplayer, Tacx has developed the virtual speed. This concept translates the energy supplied into a certain speed, which can guarantee a fair contest. If this speed differs from the speed at which the rear wheel is running, the virtual speed will be shown on the screen in red. Basic software This is a slightly simplified version of the software without some advanced features. But still there is more than enough to train in a scientific way & enjoy cycling in the virtual worlds that are so lifelike that they cannot be told apart anymore from the real world. The Basic software is an excellent starter & makes entertainment accessible to everyone. Contains two beautifully designed Virtual Reality terrains: the Valeggio road terrain in Italy & the Velodrome. Also there is the possibility of cycling in Tacx films. This makes the training sessions enjoyable & adventurous. With GPS outdoor training rides can be completely relived at home. With Catalyst you can train on heart rate, power output & slope. With Multiplayer you can compete online against real opponents. This requires a license. With the Basic software & a Multiplayer license you can ride in the VR against up to ten real opponents.
