You can set the trainer’s resistance precisely as required as the magnitude of this field is adjustable. The result is a highly functional, contact- and maintenance-free resistance unit.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The magnetic field is realized differently amid the various types of resistance units, causing a difference in the trainer’s functionality and usability.  \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Direct drive\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\r\nThe bike is placed in the direct drive trainer without its rear wheel; the resistance is applied directly to the rear axle. This causes a more realistic and user-friendly trainer. There are no transmissions causing any loss of power, ensuring a very realistic cycling feeling and accurate measurements of your speed, cadence and power. In addition, there is no wear and no slipping of the tyre; the direct drive is maintenance free and your bike is easily mounted on it.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Motor brake\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\r\nThe motor brake is the most advanced resistance unit producing the most realistic cycling feeling. The resistance is calculated and generated by an electromotor. The motor can both hold back (brake) and drive the wheel or chain, enabling the simulation of a descent. It will keep spinning; just like outdoors you do not have to pedal. This downhill drive feature also enables a realistic simulation of the dead point in your pedal stroke. In addition, the motor brake is the most powerful and can generate high resistance at low speeds. This makes the motor brake especially suited for simulating steep climbs. Due to these features, Tacx trainers with a motor brake are ideally suited for training on mountain stages.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Wireless motor brake\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\r\nA wireless motor brake is an electromotor with a generator; it generates its own energy from your pedal stroke. The trainer uses this energy to communicate and produce the needed resistance. As the trainer does not require an external power source, it can be placed anywhere you like. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;As its power is generated from your movement, the trainer cannot simulate a descent. You are not pedalling, so it cannot generate any energy.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Electro brake\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\r\nAn electro brake features one row with electromagnets and one with permanent magnets, with a rotating disc in between. The resistance is set automatically by increasing or decreasing the current through the electromagnets.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Magnet brake\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\r\nThe resistance is realized by permanent magnets so trainers with a magnet brake do not require power. The Booster features two rows of magnets; other basic trainers feature one row of magnets and a disc. The magnetic field increases or decreases by changing the position of the magnets, which is done manually with a lever to set the resistance. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The Satori Smart is equipped with a long-life battery to enable communication.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\" data-image=\"https:\/\/mk0tacxpwbcps2mf5.kinstacdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Tacx-trainers-working-principle-1920x1080px-1.jpg\"\u003eInteractive Smart direct drive with electric brake\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr class=\"alt\"\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMagnets\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003e8 Permanent ferrite magnets \u0026amp; 8 electromagnets\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTransmission\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003eNone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr class=\"alt\"\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eElectrical requirements\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003e110-240 Volt\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower indicator\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003eNone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr class=\"alt\"\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConnection indicator (ANT\/BT)\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003e2 LEDs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFirmware upgradable\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003eYes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr class=\"alt\"\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSuitable cassettes\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003eShimano \u0026amp; SRAM: 8 - 11 speed.

When you are cycling outdoors and stop pedalling, your bike does not stop rolling immediately. The same effect is seen in the dead point of your pedal stroke. The kinetic energy causing the bike to keep rolling is simulated by the trainer’s flywheel; this is called the flywheel effect or mass inertia. The heavier the flywheel, the more realistic the cycling feeling. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Virtual flywheel\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\r\nTacx trainers are equipped with an actual or a virtual flywheel. The best experience is achieved with an exact simulation of the rider’s weight, which is only possible with a virtual flywheel. In this case, the trainer simulates the mass inertia instead of producing it with an actual flywheel. In contrast to the actual flywheel, the virtual flywheel can adjust the mass inertia to the circumstances; like speed, slope and weight. For example, when you ride up a mountain you will experience a different cycling feeling than when you are riding with high speed on a flat road.  Therefore, the virtual flywheel is the best solution for an optimal cycling experience.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Trainers equipped with a virtual flywheel are the NEO Smart and Genius models.

is caused by a magnetic field. You can set the trainer’s resistance precisely as required as the magnitude of this field is adjustable. The result is a highly functional, contact- and maintenance-free resistance unit. The magnetic field is realized differently amid the various types of resistance units, causing a difference in the trainer’s functionality and usability.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Direct drive\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;The bike is placed in the direct drive trainer without its rear wheel; the resistance is applied directly to the rear axle. This causes a more realistic and user-friendly trainer. There are no transmissions causing any loss of power, ensuring a very realistic cycling feeling and accurate measurements of your speed, cadence and power. In addition, there is no wear and no slipping of the tyre; the direct drive is maintenance free and your bike is easily mounted on it.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Motor brake\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;The motor brake is the most advanced resistance unit producing the most realistic cycling feeling. The resistance is calculated and generated by an electromotor. The motor can both hold back (brake) and drive the wheel or chain, enabling the simulation of a descent. It will keep spinning; just like outdoors you do not have to pedal. This downhill drive feature also enables a realistic simulation of the dead point in your pedal stroke. In addition, the motor brake is the most powerful and can generate high resistance at low speeds. This makes the motor brake especially suited for simulating steep climbs. Due to these features, Tacx trainers with a motor brake are ideally suited for training on mountain stages.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Wireless motor brake\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;A wireless motor brake is an electromotor with a generator; it generates its own energy from your pedal stroke. The trainer uses this energy to communicate and produce the needed resistance. As the trainer does not require an external power source, it can be placed anywhere you like. As its power is generated from your movement, the trainer cannot simulate a descent. You are not pedalling, so it cannot generate any energy.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Electro brake\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;An electro brake features one row with electromagnets and one with permanent magnets, with a rotating disc in between. The resistance is set automatically by increasing or decreasing the current through the electromagnets.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Magnet brake\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;The resistance is realized by permanent magnets so trainers with a magnet brake do not require power. The Booster features two rows of magnets; other basic trainers feature one row of magnets and a disc. The magnetic field increases or decreases by changing the position of the magnets, which is done manually with a lever to set the resistance. The Satori Smart is equipped with a long-life battery to enable communication.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\" data-image=\"https:\/\/tacx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Tacx-trainers-working-principle-1920x1080px-1.jpg\"\u003eInteractive Smart direct drive with electric brake\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"alt\"\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMagnets\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003e8 Permanent ferrite magnets \u0026amp; 8 electromagnets\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTransmission\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003eNone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"alt\"\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eElectrical requirements\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003e110-240 Volt\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower indicator\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003eNone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"alt\"\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConnection indicator (ANT\/BT)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003e2 LEDs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFirmware upgradable\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003eYes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"alt\"\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSupplied with\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003eQuick release for road bikes and mountain bikes (5mm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSuitable bikes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003eWidth of rear fork: Race 130mm, MTB 135mm.

brake power\u0026lt;\/h3\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The brake power of the trainer is the result of the brake force and mass inertia of the trainer and dependent on your speed. For example, a NEO Smart is capable of generating 2200W at 40km\/h, while a Vortex can power up to 950W at this speed.  A trainer with high brake power can generate high resistance at low speeds, so it can realistically simulate steep inclines.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The higher the brake force, the steeper the incline can be simulated at a certain weight. For example, the NEO has a brake force of 250N and can therefore simulate a slope realistically up to 25% at a weight of 75kg. The trainer’s brake force, expressed in Newtons (N), is defined by the structural architecture that causes the resistance, like the kind and amount of magnets.  Which brake force is required for an accurate simulation is defined by the weight, slope, air resistance and rolling resistance. All these factors are taken into account in the simulation.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The mass inertia represents the needed energy to set the flywheel in motion or accelerate it. In contrast to an actual flywheel, a virtual flywheel can change the mass inertia precisely to the conditions; like speed, slope and weight. Therefore, a virtual flywheel is adjusted to accurately simulate the rider’s weight. This results in the most realistic simulation. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\" data-image=\"https:\/\/tacx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Tacx-trainers-brake-force-1920x1080px-1920x1080.jpg\"\u003e65N\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"alt\"\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFlywheel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"panel-link\" data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\u0026lt;h3\u0026gt;The flywheel\u0026lt;\/h3\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;To make the cycling feeling as realistic as possible, all Tacx trainers are equipped with a flywheel.

In contrast to the actual flywheel, the virtual flywheel can adjust the mass inertia to the circumstances; like speed, slope and weight.

This way you can use almost any training option. This is realized by using standardized wireless communication protocols: ANT+ FE-C and Bluetooth Smart open.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;ANT+ FE-C protocol\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;The ANT+ FE-C protocol enables Smart trainers to communicate with third party software on desktops, bike computers and sport watches. The interactive trainers can be controlled by Tacx software, or other computer software like Zwift and the Garmin Edge 520.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;We got to work directly after ANT+ launched the ANT+ FE-C protocol. The result: our indoor trainers are the first to be ANT+ FE-C certified and use the new language. ANT+ FE-C stands for “ANT+ Fitness Equipment Control”. Until now, trainers of various brands communicated in their own language. Therefore they did not understand each other and could not communicate. By implementing the new language – the ANT+ FE-C open profile – in trainers and software they are able to communicate and connect with each other.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Bluetooth Smart\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;This is also called Bluetooth 4.0 and Bluetooth low energy and enables communication with smartphones, tablets and sport watches. With Bluetooth Smart the interactive trainers are controlled by Tacx apps and other apps such as TrainerRoad and Kinomap.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;After creating the ANT+ FE-C open protocol, we started creating an open protocol for Bluetooth. Smartphones and tablets can often only receive the Bluetooth signal, not the ANT+ signal. By sending the same language as the ANT+ FE-C protocol via Bluetooth, Smart trainers can also communicate with third party apps on devices that only have a Bluetooth receiver. This protocol has been created by Tacx and is available to software manufacturers, so that everybody can link a Tacx Smart trainer to the software of their choice.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Connect to multiple devices simultaneously\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;As the trainer uses both communication protocols, it can connect to several devices at the same time. For example, you can ride a Tacx Film on your tablet while reading and storing your performance data in Garmin Connect on your bike computer.

This way you can use almost any training option. This is realized by using standardized wireless communication protocols: ANT+ FE-C and Bluetooth Smart open.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;ANT+ FE-C protocol\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;The ANT+ FE-C protocol enables Smart trainers to communicate with third party software on desktops, bike computers and sport watches. The interactive trainers can be controlled by Tacx software, or other computer software like Zwift and the Garmin Edge 520.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;We got to work directly after ANT+ launched the ANT+ FE-C protocol. The result: our indoor trainers are the first to be ANT+ FE-C certified and use the new language. ANT+ FE-C stands for “ANT+ Fitness Equipment Control”. Until now, trainers of various brands communicated in their own language. Therefore they did not understand each other and could not communicate. By implementing the new language – the ANT+ FE-C open profile – in trainers and software they are able to communicate and connect with each other.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Bluetooth Smart\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;This is also called Bluetooth 4.0 and Bluetooth low energy and enables communication with smartphones, tablets and sport watches. With Bluetooth Smart the interactive trainers are controlled by Tacx apps and other apps such as TrainerRoad and Kinomap.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;After creating the ANT+ FE-C open protocol, we started creating an open protocol for Bluetooth. Smartphones and tablets can often only receive the Bluetooth signal, not the ANT+ signal. By sending the same language as the ANT+ FE-C protocol via Bluetooth, Smart trainers can also communicate with third party apps on devices that only have a Bluetooth receiver. This protocol has been created by Tacx and is available to software manufacturers, so that everybody can link a Tacx Smart trainer to the software of their choice.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Connect to multiple devices simultaneously\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;As the trainer uses both communication protocols, it can connect to several devices at the same time.

You can set the trainer’s resistance precisely as required as the magnitude of this field is adjustable. The result is a highly functional, contact- and maintenance-free resistance unit.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The magnetic field is realized differently amid the various types of resistance units, causing a difference in the trainer’s functionality and usability.  \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Direct drive\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\r\nThe bike is placed in the direct drive trainer without its rear wheel; the resistance is applied directly to the rear axle. This causes a more realistic and user-friendly trainer. There are no transmissions causing any loss of power, ensuring a very realistic cycling feeling and accurate measurements of your speed, cadence and power. In addition, there is no wear and no slipping of the tyre; the direct drive is maintenance free and your bike is easily mounted on it.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Motor brake\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\r\nThe motor brake is the most advanced resistance unit producing the most realistic cycling feeling. The resistance is calculated and generated by an electromotor. The motor can both hold back (brake) and drive the wheel or chain, enabling the simulation of a descent. It will keep spinning; just like outdoors you do not have to pedal. This downhill drive feature also enables a realistic simulation of the dead point in your pedal stroke. In addition, the motor brake is the most powerful and can generate high resistance at low speeds. This makes the motor brake especially suited for simulating steep climbs. Due to these features, Tacx trainers with a motor brake are ideally suited for training on mountain stages.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Wireless motor brake\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\r\nA wireless motor brake is an electromotor with a generator; it generates its own energy from your pedal stroke. The trainer uses this energy to communicate and produce the needed resistance. As the trainer does not require an external power source, it can be placed anywhere you like. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;As its power is generated from your movement, the trainer cannot simulate a descent.

It will keep spinning; just like outdoors you do not have to pedal. This downhill drive feature also enables a realistic simulation of the dead point in your pedal stroke. In addition, the motor brake is the most powerful and can generate high resistance at low speeds. This makes the motor brake especially suited for simulating steep climbs. Due to these features, Tacx trainers with a motor brake are ideally suited for training on mountain stages.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Wireless motor brake\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\r\nA wireless motor brake is an electromotor with a generator; it generates its own energy from your pedal stroke.

For example, a NEO Smart is capable of generating 2200W at 40km\/h, while a Vortex can power up to 950W at this speed. A trainer with high brake power can generate high resistance at low speeds, so it can realistically simulate steep inclines.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The higher the brake force, the steeper the incline can be simulated at a certain weight. For example, the NEO has a brake force of 250N and can therefore simulate a slope realistically up to 25% at a weight of 75kg. The trainer’s brake force, expressed in Newtons (N), is defined by the structural architecture that causes the resistance, like the kind and amount of magnets. Which brake force is required for an accurate simulation is defined by the weight, slope, air resistance and rolling resistance. All these factors are taken into account in the simulation.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The mass inertia represents the needed energy to set the flywheel in motion or accelerate it.

In contrast to the actual flywheel, the virtual flywheel can adjust the mass inertia to the circumstances; like speed, slope and weight. For example, when you ride up a mountain you will experience a different cycling feeling than when you are riding with high speed on a flat road.

In addition, there is no wear and no slipping of the tyre; the direct drive is maintenance free and your bike is easily mounted on it.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Motor brake\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\r\nThe motor brake is the most advanced resistance unit producing the most realistic cycling feeling. The resistance is calculated and generated by an electromotor. The motor can both hold back (brake) and drive the wheel or chain, enabling the simulation of a descent. It will keep spinning; just like outdoors you do not have to pedal. This downhill drive feature also enables a realistic simulation of the dead point in your pedal stroke. In addition, the motor brake is the most powerful and can generate high resistance at low speeds. This makes the motor brake especially suited for simulating steep climbs. Due to these features, Tacx trainers with a motor brake are ideally suited for training on mountain stages.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Wireless motor brake\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\r\nA wireless motor brake is an electromotor with a generator; it generates its own energy from your pedal stroke.

When you are cycling outdoors and stop pedalling, your bike does not stop rolling immediately. The same effect is seen in the dead point of your pedal stroke.

The best experience is achieved with an exact simulation of the rider’s weight, which is only possible with a virtual flywheel. In this case, the trainer simulates the mass inertia instead of producing it with an actual flywheel. In contrast to the actual flywheel, the virtual flywheel can adjust the mass inertia to the circumstances; like speed, slope and weight. For example, when you ride up a mountain you will experience a different cycling feeling than when you are riding with high speed on a flat road.  Therefore, the virtual flywheel is the best solution for an optimal cycling experience.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Trainers equipped with a virtual flywheel are the NEO Smart and Genius models.

This way you can use almost any training option. This is realized by using standardized wireless communication protocols: ANT+ FE-C and Bluetooth Smart open.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;ANT+ FE-C protocol\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\r\nThe ANT+ FE-C protocol enables Smart trainers to communicate with third party software on desktops, bike computers and sport watches. The interactive trainers can be controlled by Tacx software, or other computer software like Zwift and the Garmin Edge 520.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;We got to work directly after ANT+ launched the ANT+ FE-C protocol. The result: our indoor trainers are the first to be ANT+ FE-C certified and use the new language. ANT+ FE-C stands for “ANT+ Fitness Equipment Control”. Until now, trainers of various brands communicated in their own language. Therefore they did not understand each other and could not communicate. By implementing the new language – the ANT+ FE-C open profile – in trainers and software they are able to communicate and connect with each other.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Bluetooth Smart\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\r\nThis is also called Bluetooth 4.0 and Bluetooth low energy and enables communication with smartphones, tablets and sport watches. With Bluetooth Smart the interactive trainers are controlled by Tacx apps and other apps such as TrainerRoad and Kinomap.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;After creating the ANT+ FE-C open protocol, we started creating an open protocol for Bluetooth. Smartphones and tablets can often only receive the Bluetooth signal, not the ANT+ signal. By sending the same language as the ANT+ FE-C protocol via Bluetooth, Smart trainers can also communicate with third party apps on devices that only have a Bluetooth receiver. This protocol has been created by Tacx and is available to software manufacturers, so that everybody can link a Tacx Smart trainer to the software of their choice.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Connect to multiple devices simultaneously\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;As the trainer uses both communication protocols, it can connect to several devices at the same time. For example, you can ride a Tacx Film on your tablet while reading and storing your performance data in Garmin Connect on your bike computer. This way you can keep track of your performance in your favourite apps.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Measure and receive performance data\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;All Tacx Smart trainers measure your speed, cadence and power and transmit this via ANT+ and Bluetooth Smart so that it can be received at several devices simultaneously. The interactive trainers can also receive these signals in order to adjust the resistance.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;To receive your heart rate you will need a heart rate monitor that communicates via ANT+ or Bluetooth 4.0. The monitor is connected to the app you are using, and the app communicates this to the trainer.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Upgradable firmware\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;Product optimizations and improving the trainers’ functionalities is a continuous project at Tacx. You can add firmware improvements, for example for the cycling feeling or an extra feature, to the Smart trainer you are already using with the Tacx Utility app. This free app is available in the App store and on Google Play. After installing the app you can test whether there is a firmware update available and if yes, directly upgrade your trainer. This way you always profit from the latest firmware!\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Standalone training\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\r\nTacx Smart trainers also function without being connected to a device; they will simulate a flat road.

Tacx Smart trainers can be connected to any device, and several devices simultaneously, as they communicate via ANT+ and Bluetooth® Smart.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Tacx Smart trainers are characterized by the following features:\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\r\n1. Open wireless communication\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\r\n2. Measuring and receiving performance data\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\r\n3. Upgradable firmware\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\r\n4. Standalone training\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Open wireless communication\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\r\nThe functionality of Tacx Smart trainers is improved by enabling the communication with as many devices and apps as possible. This way you can use almost any training option. This is realized by using standardized wireless communication protocols: ANT+ FE-C and Bluetooth Smart open.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;ANT+ FE-C protocol\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\r\nThe ANT+ FE-C protocol enables Smart trainers to communicate with third party software on desktops, bike computers and sport watches. The interactive trainers can be controlled by Tacx software, or other computer software like Zwift and the Garmin Edge 520.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;We got to work directly after ANT+ launched the ANT+ FE-C protocol. The result: our indoor trainers are the first to be ANT+ FE-C certified and use the new language. ANT+ FE-C stands for “ANT+ Fitness Equipment Control”. Until now, trainers of various brands communicated in their own language. Therefore they did not understand each other and could not communicate. By implementing the new language – the ANT+ FE-C open profile – in trainers and software they are able to communicate and connect with each other.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Bluetooth Smart\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\r\nThis is also called Bluetooth 4.0 and Bluetooth low energy and enables communication with smartphones, tablets and sport watches. With Bluetooth Smart the interactive trainers are controlled by Tacx apps and other apps such as TrainerRoad and Kinomap.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;After creating the ANT+ FE-C open protocol, we started creating an open protocol for Bluetooth. Smartphones and tablets can often only receive the Bluetooth signal, not the ANT+ signal. By sending the same language as the ANT+ FE-C protocol via Bluetooth, Smart trainers can also communicate with third party apps on devices that only have a Bluetooth receiver. This protocol has been created by Tacx and is available to software manufacturers, so that everybody can link a Tacx Smart trainer to the software of their choice.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Connect to multiple devices simultaneously\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;As the trainer uses both communication protocols, it can connect to several devices at the same time. For example, you can ride a Tacx Film on your tablet while reading and storing your performance data in Garmin Connect on your bike computer. This way you can keep track of your performance in your favourite apps.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Measure and receive performance data\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;All Tacx Smart trainers measure your speed, cadence and power and transmit this via ANT+ and Bluetooth Smart so that it can be received at several devices simultaneously. The interactive trainers can also receive these signals in order to adjust the resistance.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;To receive your heart rate you will need a heart rate monitor that communicates via ANT+ or Bluetooth 4.0. The monitor is connected to the app you are using, and the app communicates this to the trainer.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Upgradable firmware\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;Product optimizations and improving the trainers’ functionalities is a continuous project at Tacx. You can add firmware improvements, for example for the cycling feeling or an extra feature, to the Smart trainer you are already using with the Tacx Utility app. This free app is available in the App store and on Google Play. After installing the app you can test whether there is a firmware update available and if yes, directly upgrade your trainer. This way you always profit from the latest firmware!\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Standalone training\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\r\nTacx Smart trainers also function without being connected to a device; they will simulate a flat road.

is caused by a magnetic field. You can set the trainer’s resistance precisely as required as the magnitude of this field is adjustable. The result is a highly functional, contact- and maintenance-free resistance unit. The magnetic field is realized differently amid the various types of resistance units, causing a difference in the trainer’s functionality and usability.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Direct drive\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;The bike is placed in the direct drive trainer without its rear wheel; the resistance is applied directly to the rear axle. This causes a more realistic and user-friendly trainer. There are no transmissions causing any loss of power, ensuring a very realistic cycling feeling and accurate measurements of your speed, cadence and power. In addition, there is no wear and no slipping of the tyre; the direct drive is maintenance free and your bike is easily mounted on it.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Motor brake\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;The motor brake is the most advanced resistance unit producing the most realistic cycling feeling. The resistance is calculated and generated by an electromotor. The motor can both hold back (brake) and drive the wheel or chain, enabling the simulation of a descent. It will keep spinning; just like outdoors you do not have to pedal. This downhill drive feature also enables a realistic simulation of the dead point in your pedal stroke. In addition, the motor brake is the most powerful and can generate high resistance at low speeds. This makes the motor brake especially suited for simulating steep climbs. Due to these features, Tacx trainers with a motor brake are ideally suited for training on mountain stages.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Wireless motor brake\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;A wireless motor brake is an electromotor with a generator; it generates its own energy from your pedal stroke. The trainer uses this energy to communicate and produce the needed resistance. As the trainer does not require an external power source, it can be placed anywhere you like. As its power is generated from your movement, the trainer cannot simulate a descent. You are not pedalling, so it cannot generate any energy.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Electro brake\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;An electro brake features one row with electromagnets and one with permanent magnets, with a rotating disc in between. The resistance is set automatically by increasing or decreasing the current through the electromagnets.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Magnet brake\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;The resistance is realized by permanent magnets so trainers with a magnet brake do not require power. The Booster features two rows of magnets; other basic trainers feature one row of magnets and a disc. The magnetic field increases or decreases by changing the position of the magnets, which is done manually with a lever to set the resistance. The Satori Smart is equipped with a long-life battery to enable communication.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\" data-image=\"https:\/\/tacx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Tacx-trainers-working-principle-1920x1080px-1.jpg\"\u003eBasic Smart trainer with magnetic brake\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"alt\"\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMagnets\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003e1 Neodymium magnet\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTransmission\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003eRoller, 30 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"alt\"\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eElectrical requirements\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003e110-240 Volt\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower indicator\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003eNone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"alt\"\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConnection indicator (ANT\/BT)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003eNone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFirmware upgradable\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003eYes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"alt\"\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSuitable bikes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003eRace, Tri \u0026amp; MTB \u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003eif necessary with axle skewer\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSupplied with\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003eFront wheel support \u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003eQuick release for road bikes and mountain bikes (5mm)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"alt subheader-padding\"\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e \u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"alt subheader\"\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMax. power (40 km\/h)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003e950 Watt\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"alt\"\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMax. slope\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003en.a.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSimulation of descent\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003eNo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"alt\"\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMax. torque\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003e16.3Nm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMax. brake force\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"panel-link\" data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\u0026lt;h3\u0026gt;Brake force \u0026amp; brake power\u0026lt;\/h3\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The brake power of the trainer is the result of the brake force and mass inertia of the trainer and dependent on your speed. For example, a NEO Smart is capable of generating 2200W at 40km\/h, while a Vortex can power up to 950W at this speed.  A trainer with high brake power can generate high resistance at low speeds, so it can realistically simulate steep inclines.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The higher the brake force, the steeper the incline can be simulated at a certain weight. For example, the NEO has a brake force of 250N and can therefore simulate a slope realistically up to 25% at a weight of 75kg. The trainer’s brake force, expressed in Newtons (N), is defined by the structural architecture that causes the resistance, like the kind and amount of magnets.  Which brake force is required for an accurate simulation is defined by the weight, slope, air resistance and rolling resistance. All these factors are taken into account in the simulation.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The mass inertia represents the needed energy to set the flywheel in motion or accelerate it. In contrast to an actual flywheel, a virtual flywheel can change the mass inertia precisely to the conditions; like speed, slope and weight. Therefore, a virtual flywheel is adjusted to accurately simulate the rider’s weight. This results in the most realistic simulation. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\" data-image=\"https:\/\/tacx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Tacx-trainers-brake-force-1920x1080px-1920x1080.jpg\"\u003e48N\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"alt\"\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFlywheel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"panel-link\" data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\u0026lt;h3\u0026gt;The flywheel\u0026lt;\/h3\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;To make the cycling feeling as realistic as possible, all Tacx trainers are equipped with a flywheel.

The best experience is achieved with an exact simulation of the rider’s weight, which is only possible with a virtual flywheel. In this case, the trainer simulates the mass inertia instead of producing it with an actual flywheel. In contrast to the actual flywheel, the virtual flywheel can adjust the mass inertia to the circumstances; like speed, slope and weight.

magnetic trainers, the resistance is caused by a magnetic field. You can set the trainer’s resistance precisely as required as the magnitude of this field is adjustable. The result is a highly functional, contact- and maintenance-free resistance unit. The magnetic field is realized differently amid the various types of resistance units, causing a difference in the trainer’s functionality and usability.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Direct drive\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;The bike is placed in the direct drive trainer without its rear wheel; the resistance is applied directly to the rear axle. This causes a more realistic and user-friendly trainer. There are no transmissions causing any loss of power, ensuring a very realistic cycling feeling and accurate measurements of your speed, cadence and power. In addition, there is no wear and no slipping of the tyre; the direct drive is maintenance free and your bike is easily mounted on it.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Motor brake\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;The motor brake is the most advanced resistance unit producing the most realistic cycling feeling. The resistance is calculated and generated by an electromotor. The motor can both hold back (brake) and drive the wheel or chain, enabling the simulation of a descent. It will keep spinning; just like outdoors you do not have to pedal. This downhill drive feature also enables a realistic simulation of the dead point in your pedal stroke. In addition, the motor brake is the most powerful and can generate high resistance at low speeds. This makes the motor brake especially suited for simulating steep climbs. Due to these features, Tacx trainers with a motor brake are ideally suited for training on mountain stages.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Wireless motor brake\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;A wireless motor brake is an electromotor with a generator; it generates its own energy from your pedal stroke. The trainer uses this energy to communicate and produce the needed resistance. As the trainer does not require an external power source, it can be placed anywhere you like. As its power is generated from your movement, the trainer cannot simulate a descent. You are not pedalling, so it cannot generate any energy.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Electro brake\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;An electro brake features one row with electromagnets and one with permanent magnets, with a rotating disc in between. The resistance is set automatically by increasing or decreasing the current through the electromagnets.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Magnet brake\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;The resistance is realized by permanent magnets so trainers with a magnet brake do not require power. The Booster features two rows of magnets; other basic trainers feature one row of magnets and a disc. The magnetic field increases or decreases by changing the position of the magnets, which is done manually with a lever to set the resistance. The Satori Smart is equipped with a long-life battery to enable communication.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\" data-image=\"https:\/\/tacx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Tacx-trainers-working-principle-1920x1080px-1.jpg\"\u003eInteractive Smart direct drive with motor brake\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTransmission\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003eNone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eElectrical requirements\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003e110-240 Volt \u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\u0026lt;h3\u0026gt;Plug in\/Plug out technology\u0026lt;\/h3\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The trainer can be used with and without a plug.

For example, a NEO Smart is capable of generating 2200W at 40km\/h, while a Vortex can power up to 950W at this speed.  A trainer with high brake power can generate high resistance at low speeds, so it can realistically simulate steep inclines.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The higher the brake force, the steeper the incline can be simulated at a certain weight. For example, the NEO has a brake force of 250N and can therefore simulate a slope realistically up to 25% at a weight of 75kg. The trainer’s brake force, expressed in Newtons (N), is defined by the structural architecture that causes the resistance, like the kind and amount of magnets.  Which brake force is required for an accurate simulation is defined by the weight, slope, air resistance and rolling resistance. All these factors are taken into account in the simulation.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The mass inertia represents the needed energy to set the flywheel in motion or accelerate it. In contrast to an actual flywheel, a virtual flywheel can change the mass inertia precisely to the conditions; like speed, slope and weight. Therefore, a virtual flywheel is adjusted to accurately simulate the rider’s weight. This results in the most realistic simulation. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\" data-image=\"https:\/\/tacx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Tacx-trainers-brake-force-1920x1080px-1920x1080.jpg\"\u003e250N\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFlywheel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\u0026lt;h3\u0026gt;The flywheel\u0026lt;\/h3\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;To make the cycling feeling as realistic as possible, all Tacx trainers are equipped with a flywheel.

Until now, trainers of various brands communicated in their own language. Therefore they did not understand each other and could not communicate.

Smartphones and tablets can often only receive the Bluetooth signal, not the ANT+ signal. By sending the same language as the ANT+ FE-C protocol via Bluetooth, Smart trainers can also communicate with third party apps on devices that only have a Bluetooth receiver.

This way you can use almost any training option. This is realized by using standardized wireless communication protocols: ANT+ FE-C and Bluetooth Smart open.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;ANT+ FE-C protocol\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;The ANT+ FE-C protocol enables Smart trainers to communicate with third party software on desktops, bike computers and sport watches. The interactive trainers can be controlled by Tacx software, or other computer software like Zwift and the Garmin Edge 520.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;We got to work directly after ANT+ launched the ANT+ FE-C protocol. The result: our indoor trainers are the first to be ANT+ FE-C certified and use the new language. ANT+ FE-C stands for “ANT+ Fitness Equipment Control”. Until now, trainers of various brands communicated in their own language. Therefore they did not understand each other and could not communicate. By implementing the new language – the ANT+ FE-C open profile – in trainers and software they are able to communicate and connect with each other.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Bluetooth Smart\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;This is also called Bluetooth 4.0 and Bluetooth low energy and enables communication with smartphones, tablets and sport watches. With Bluetooth Smart the interactive trainers are controlled by Tacx apps and other apps such as TrainerRoad and Kinomap.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;After creating the ANT+ FE-C open protocol, we started creating an open protocol for Bluetooth. Smartphones and tablets can often only receive the Bluetooth signal, not the ANT+ signal. By sending the same language as the ANT+ FE-C protocol via Bluetooth, Smart trainers can also communicate with third party apps on devices that only have a Bluetooth receiver. This protocol has been created by Tacx and is available to software manufacturers, so that everybody can link a Tacx Smart trainer to the software of their choice.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Connect to multiple devices simultaneously\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;As the trainer uses both communication protocols, it can connect to several devices at the same time.

is caused by a magnetic field. You can set the trainer’s resistance precisely as required as the magnitude of this field is adjustable. The result is a highly functional, contact- and maintenance-free resistance unit. The magnetic field is realized differently amid the various types of resistance units, causing a difference in the trainer’s functionality and usability.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Direct drive\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;The bike is placed in the direct drive trainer without its rear wheel; the resistance is applied directly to the rear axle. This causes a more realistic and user-friendly trainer. There are no transmissions causing any loss of power, ensuring a very realistic cycling feeling and accurate measurements of your speed, cadence and power. In addition, there is no wear and no slipping of the tyre; the direct drive is maintenance free and your bike is easily mounted on it.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Motor brake\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;The motor brake is the most advanced resistance unit producing the most realistic cycling feeling. The resistance is calculated and generated by an electromotor. The motor can both hold back (brake) and drive the wheel or chain, enabling the simulation of a descent. It will keep spinning; just like outdoors you do not have to pedal. This downhill drive feature also enables a realistic simulation of the dead point in your pedal stroke. In addition, the motor brake is the most powerful and can generate high resistance at low speeds. This makes the motor brake especially suited for simulating steep climbs. Due to these features, Tacx trainers with a motor brake are ideally suited for training on mountain stages.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Wireless motor brake\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;A wireless motor brake is an electromotor with a generator; it generates its own energy from your pedal stroke. The trainer uses this energy to communicate and produce the needed resistance. As the trainer does not require an external power source, it can be placed anywhere you like. As its power is generated from your movement, the trainer cannot simulate a descent. You are not pedalling, so it cannot generate any energy.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Electro brake\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;An electro brake features one row with electromagnets and one with permanent magnets, with a rotating disc in between. The resistance is set automatically by increasing or decreasing the current through the electromagnets.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Magnet brake\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;The resistance is realized by permanent magnets so trainers with a magnet brake do not require power. The Booster features two rows of magnets; other basic trainers feature one row of magnets and a disc. The magnetic field increases or decreases by changing the position of the magnets, which is done manually with a lever to set the resistance. The Satori Smart is equipped with a long-life battery to enable communication.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\" data-image=\"https:\/\/tacx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Tacx-trainers-working-principle-1920x1080px-1.jpg\"\u003eInteractive Smart trainer with electric brake\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"alt\"\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMagnets\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003e8 Permanent ferrite magnets \u0026amp; 8 electromagnets\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTransmission\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003eRoller, 30 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"alt\"\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eElectrical requirements\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003e110-240 Volt\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower indicator\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003eNone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"alt\"\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConnection indicator (ANT\/BT)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003eNone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFirmware upgradable\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003eYes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"alt\"\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSuitable bikes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003eRace, Tri \u0026amp; MTB \u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003eif necessary with axle skewer \u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003e29? wheel with Tacx trainer tyre\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSupplied with\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003eFront wheel support \u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003eQuick release for road bikes and mountain bikes (5mm)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"alt subheader-padding\"\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e \u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"alt subheader\"\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMax. power (40 km\/h)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003e950 Watt\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"alt\"\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMax. slope\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003e7%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSimulation of descent\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003eNo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"alt\"\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMax. torque\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\" data-image=\"\"\u003e16.3Nm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMax. brake force\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"panel-link\" data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\u0026lt;h3\u0026gt;Brake force \u0026amp; brake power\u0026lt;\/h3\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The brake power of the trainer is the result of the brake force and mass inertia of the trainer and dependent on your speed. For example, a NEO Smart is capable of generating 2200W at 40km\/h, while a Vortex can power up to 950W at this speed.  A trainer with high brake power can generate high resistance at low speeds, so it can realistically simulate steep inclines.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The higher the brake force, the steeper the incline can be simulated at a certain weight. For example, the NEO has a brake force of 250N and can therefore simulate a slope realistically up to 25% at a weight of 75kg. The trainer’s brake force, expressed in Newtons (N), is defined by the structural architecture that causes the resistance, like the kind and amount of magnets.  Which brake force is required for an accurate simulation is defined by the weight, slope, air resistance and rolling resistance. All these factors are taken into account in the simulation.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The mass inertia represents the needed energy to set the flywheel in motion or accelerate it. In contrast to an actual flywheel, a virtual flywheel can change the mass inertia precisely to the conditions; like speed, slope and weight. Therefore, a virtual flywheel is adjusted to accurately simulate the rider’s weight. This results in the most realistic simulation. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\" data-image=\"https:\/\/tacx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Tacx-trainers-brake-force-1920x1080px-1920x1080.jpg\"\u003e48N\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"alt\"\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFlywheel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"panel-link\" data-title=\"\" data-content=\"\u0026lt;h3\u0026gt;The flywheel\u0026lt;\/h3\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;To make the cycling feeling as realistic as possible, all Tacx trainers are equipped with a flywheel.

The best experience is achieved with an exact simulation of the rider’s weight, which is only possible with a virtual flywheel. In this case, the trainer simulates the mass inertia instead of producing it with an actual flywheel. In contrast to the actual flywheel, the virtual flywheel can adjust the mass inertia to the circumstances; like speed, slope and weight. For example, when you ride up a mountain you will experience a different cycling feeling than when you are riding with high speed on a flat road.  Therefore, the virtual flywheel is the best solution for an optimal cycling experience.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Trainers equipped with a virtual flywheel are the NEO Smart and Genius models.
