Garmin International, Inc., a unit of #garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), today announced Tacx smart trainers, basic trainers, rollers and accessories are now available from #garmin with additional products coming soon. These products are available through #garmin following its acquisition of Tacx, a leading manufacturer of indoor cycling trainers, in April.
“When our customers aren’t riding outside, they can bring their training indoors with a Tacx trainer, better preparing them for everything from race day to adventure rides and everything in between.”
“Tacx trainers offer a highly realistic and accurate ride simulation, allowing cyclists to train in lifelike conditions, no matter the weather,” said Dan Bartel, #garmin vice president of global consumer sales. “When our customers aren’t riding outside, they can bring their training indoors with a Tacx trainer, better preparing them for everything from race day to adventure rides and everything in between.”
Tacx smart trainers, including the NEO 2 Smart , FLUX S Smart , Flow Smart and Satori Smart , are available now. Offering immersive features and additional refinements, the NEO 2 Smart is one of the most quiet, realistic and accurate bike trainers available. Measuring data accurately within 1%, the unique motor design allows for a maximum sprint resistance of 2,200 watts and simulates climbs up to a 25% incline. Designed to simulate an outdoor ride while indoors, dynamic inertia controls a rider’s mass inertia and compensates for weight, speed and angle of inclination to make the ride feel as realistic as possible. During a ride, descent simulation accurately imitates a downhill drive while the new pedal stroke analysis feature measures the position of a rider’s left and right legs to analyze their pedaling technique and help them develop a more effective pedal stroke.
The FLUX S Smart is a reliable, accurate and quiet direct drive trainer that features a heavy flywheel for a realistic ride feel. Measuring data accurately within 3%, the FLUX S Smart is designed to provide power, speed and cadence measurements to help riders track their performance and progress. To train for those big climbs, the FLUX S Smart realistically simulates inclines up to a 10% gradient and powers sprints up to 1,500 watts. The FLUX S Smart is compatible with Tacx software and third-party training apps like Zwift and TrainerRoad, but also allows cyclists to train in stand-alone mode without connecting to software or apps.
In addition to smart trainers, basic trainers including Booster , Blue Matic , and Blue Twist , as well as rollers and accessories are available now on garmin.com and come with a 2-year warranty. Additional products will be coming soon.
