– Sound: Identical to the original NEO, essentially silent.
#TACX NEO TRAINERROAD PLUS#
– Cassette: No Tacx trainers include a cassette, which will set you back $50-$60, plus $10-$20 in tools to install. – Downhill Drive: This is one of only a handful of trainers that drives the rear ‘wheel’ forward while going down hills, thus simulating descending inertia. – Flywheel: It has a virtual flywheel up to 125kg, the largest of any trainer on the market. – Direct drive trainer: This means you remove your rear wheel (Left to right: Tacx NEO 1, Tacx NEO 2, Tacx NEO 2T)īut wait, before we get there, some super quick stat basics – just in case you’re not familiar: Here you can see it next to the Tacx NEO 1 and Tacx NEO 2: In fact, the only external change you’ll notice is a new ‘racing stripe’ inset on the back panel of the folding NEO wing. The vast majority of the changes to the Tacx NEO 2T are internal, not external. You can help support the site here by checking out the links at the end of the post (it’s already shipping/available). These are media loaner units that go back to Tacx shortly.
Oh, and finally, as always I use devices like wilderness trails – leave nothing behind. Plus, I’ve had the advantage of some DCR Reader feedback over the past few weeks as the NEO 2T is already shipping.
#TACX NEO TRAINERROAD UPGRADE#
In this review I’ll dig into what’s changed (and whether it’s worth an upgrade or skipping a good sale on older versions), as well as all the usual details around how well the trainer works with apps, accuracy, and everything else you could possibly ask. But on the whole I’m happy to be using this unit for my rides lately. Of course, like always, and for any product, I’ll nitpick a few things that could be improved. So Tacx has spent a fair bit of that time working and re-working the firmware, and I think they’re finally in a relatively good spot – the point where I’ve got no issues recommending the trainer. It, like many trainers in this 2019 indoor training season of new devices, lacked the accuracy I’d expect – especially from a top-end unit. You may remember back in my launch post, it wasn’t all sunshine and unicorns for the new trainer. It does not store any personal data.It’s been just over two months since Tacx announced their NEO 2T smart trainer, the latest in the line of high-end NEO trainers.
