The Tacx IRONMAN trainer is the ‘ Official Cycle-Mounting Trainer’ of IRONMAN to help you improve your Cycling performance for your next big race. The Tacx IRONMAN trainer is the ‘ Official Cycle-Mounting Trainer’ of IRONMAN. If you are a dedicated triathlete, this interactive trainer helps you to improve your performance. Just like the i-Genius Multiplayer, the Tacx IRONMAN trainer uses the most advanced resistance unit & software which analyses performance & simulates bike courses very accurately. The wireless motor brake converts the properties of the terrain into resistance on the bike, in a highly realistic manner, & speeds up in descents. The bike route is displayed on your computer screen. The Tacx IRONMAN trainer comes with the Skyliner front wheel support, the Kona water bottle & the Tacx film of the IRONMAN World Championship bike course in Hawaii (for TTS 4, Advanced). The Motor Brake The motor brake is the most advanced resistance unit providing the most realistic cycling experience. The resistance is dynamically controlled, it is constantly calculated & adjusted in order to simulate natural road resistance, even for descents. When calculating the brake resistance all physical formulas a cyclist encounters on the road are applied to reach a true situation. Air & rolling resistance, gradient percentage, weight, air pressure, wind speed, temperature, altitude, inertia & brake properties are all taken into account & calculated hundreds of times per second to achieve a realistic feel. Tacx trainers feature a dynamic control of the braking force. Other trainers use a flywheel to pass the dead centre, Tacx trainers constantly adjust the resistance to simulate the most natural handling. Thanks to the dynamic braking system virtual climbs become real challenges. The Genius Smart even has a downhill drive. The wheel keeps turning, just like in real life you do not have to pedal. This Tacx trainer best approaches reality. What is Zwift? ...

As tough as it is stunningly beautiful, Lanzarote offers an unforgettable cycling experience. This ride was filmed just ahead of the leading rider of the IRONMAN half distance triathlon.

Even quieter, even more powerful & incredibly accurate analysis, the TACX Neo 2T Smart Trainer lets you take your training the limit. The Neo 2T offers an unprecedented indoor training experience, not least thanks to the enhanced ride feel & incredibly accurate analysis. An awesomely realistic ride feel makes for a fun experience, particularly on the climbs & the sprints with climb simulation of up to 25%. enhanced pedal stroke analysis, increased power with near silent performance, & maintenance free. Oh, & its compatible with pretty much all axles straight out the box...just jump on & get riding. Neo 2T Features Road feel, where you experience the vibrating sensation of riding on cobblestones, gravel & many other road surfaces (available in Tacx Films & Zwift). Or Dynamic inertia, which compensates for weight, speed & the angle of inclination to provide a very realistic ride feel. Descent simulation enables the bike trainer to accelerate in a descent when you virtually go downhill & with the unique Isokinetic & Isotonic mode, it is not only possible to train for an even pedal stroke but also to build power in your stroke by training at a high wattage & low cadence. New Pedal Stroke Analysis The NEO 2T Smart is equipped with a capacitive left & right detection sensor that accurately measures the exact position of both your legs. This allows for a detailed & accurate pedal stroke analysis enabling you to improve your power distribution & cycling performance. By adding standard ANT+ Cycling dynamics, you can analyse your pedal stroke via the software of third parties; for example on a Garmin Edge bike computer. enhanced Power Output The new motor design improves the ride feel significantly. The motor of the NEO 2T is more powerful, resulting in the ability to generate higher resistance levels under specific conditions, like a sprint or at low speeds. The very powerful resistance unit will simulate gradients up to 25% & sprints up to 2200 Watts. Zero Maintenance To make your indoor training as smooth as possible, there is no maintenance & there are no adjustments required to train with the NEO 2T Smart. Furthermore it is the only trainer that doesnt require a calibration process because, in contrast to other trainers, there are no internal transmissions. Therefore it is able to measure your power with incredible precision, making sure that your data is accurate within 1% & reliable. All to make sure you can completely focus on your training. Totally Independent & Standalone The smart electronics of the NEO 2T Smart also allow you to train stand alone, without any software connections. The resistance follows a progressive power curve, in accordance with cycling on a flat road. Add this to the fact that this direct drive trainer is self-powered & doesn’t require an external power source, & you have the ideal companion for your training camp or when you want to warm-up for a race! ...

The Tacx NEO Smart offers the best in power & intelligence & is 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 is able to 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. Furthermore, the Tacx NEO features Plug in/ Plug out technology & can therefore be used with & without a plug. When the plug is not in use, the trainer will act as a wireless motor brake. This means the trainer will be not be able to speed up during descents. The NEO represents the ultimate in ease of use. Direct Drive The operating principle represents direct drive technology in its purest form. Any physical transmissions such as belts, rollers or wheels have been omitted in order to ensure optimum power efficiency, from the pedal to the motor. Thanks to an uninterrupted power flow, you wont lose a single bit of output or power. A virtual flywheel dynamically controls the brake force. This means that the resistance is calculated & adjusted continually to simulate natural road resistance. Whereas other trainers use a flywheel to pass the dead centre, the NEO uses calculations to predict the movements of the bike & simulate the action of a flywheel. The inclusion of FAST technology means the NEO carries out a 1000 calculations per second to predict the riders movement. The virtual flywheel can generate a variable inertia effect, allowing it to simulate the bike movements of all cyclists up to a specific bodyweight (125kg max.) in a highly accurate manner. When calculating the brake resistance required, all physical formulas a cyclist encounters on the road are applied to create a situation that is as realistic as possible. Air & rolling resistance, gradient percentage, weight, air pressure, wind speed, temperature, altitude, inertia & brake properties are all taken into account & calculated hundreds of times per second to achieve a realistic feel.
