Tacx Neo Smart Trainer : Direct Drive

Season:2018

Brand:Tacx

Code:T2800

Tacx NEO Smart: The first real direct drive

The NEO Smart is the most powerful, intelligent and silent trainer to date. It features powerful direct drive technology in its purest form as all physical transitions - like a roller or belt - are eliminated. It offers the truest road feel, from long flat roads to steep descents, without the complication of calibrations and maintenance.

The NEO is designed with the vision to create the ideal trainer. Its working principle is a new to the world innovation, setting a new standard for indoor cycling experiences. It features a permanent motor with 32 Neodymium magnets that rotate around 30 coils. The magnets are positioned on a steel plate which is directly connected to the bike’s cassette. The higher the current through the coils, the larger the magnetic force and the higher the braking power. So, there is no physical transition interfering with your power flow.

This exceptional set up ensures minimal power loss - almost close to nothing - when training. It is capable of generating 2000W that in turn provides enough torque. So that even at low speeds, it can deliver high resistance, enabling accurate hill climb simulations. This realistic road simulation for any person and all slope magnitudes is also achieved by a variable inertia control, the NEO has a virtual flywheel. It continuously tracks your movement to predict what’s next and be able to adopt to changes in your cycling movement each millisecond. To do so the NEO uses a new measurement system: “FAST technology”. This way the NEO realistically simulates inertia effects, completely customized to your needs.

The NEO Smart, as the name suggests, is part of the Tacx Smart series. This means it communicates wirelessly over ANT+ and Bluetooth Smart and sends out the standard speed & cadence and power profiles. Therefore, you can read out your performance data on several devices simultaneously and you can control the resistance with your smartphone, tablet or computer (via an upgrade). It speaks the ANT+ FE-C protocol, so it can be controlled by third party software and it can also be used without connecting it to a device. In addition to these Smart specifications, the NEO features Plug in/Plug out technology so that it can be used with or without mains power. When looking at usability and freedom of choice in how to train, the NEO sets the next step in Smart training.

The Neo smart is easy to set up - it simply unfolds straight out of the box. Mount a cassette (sold separately!) on the multi-system freehub body and plug it in! When not in use, the Neo folds down surprisingly small and will take up less space than a conventional folding turbo trainer.

 

Technical Information

The optional Tacx Upgradekit T2990 allows connecting the trainer to a PC, so that you can enjoy the full extent of training-supporting programmes and the virtual Tacx world via the Tacx Trainer 4 Advanced software and a push-button control unit. After training, you can fold the trainer to a small size and stow it away easily.
