The Fortius is Tacx's showcase product, a Virtual Reality Trainer designed with a sensational braking system and completely new software (Windows OS). The possibilities of this interactive trainer are nearly unlimited.
The Fortius connects to a PC, operated via an interface on the handlebars. You can compete in races, freewheel at will, go on a voyage of discovery or undergo intensive, goal-orientated training. You can choose driver (men or women), bike (race bike, ATB), environment (mountains, coast ...), wheather and daytime. You can choose Trikots from Liberty Seguros, Team CSC to ATB and fantasy shirts.
The Fortius has a powerful motor brake that simulates descents and arduous climbs. The resistance created by the motor brake corresponds closely to anything you will encounter on the road. Rolling, air and gradient resistance are palpable during cycling. The brake was designed to release heat during cycling, which is then converted to current and fed back into the mains. In this way, you generate your own energy.
Using the steering frame is essential to experience the interactive game element of the Fortius to its fullest and to become immersed in the virtual world. Each movement is visible on the screen. For new route experiences we recommend Real-Life-Video, which is also available in our Shop!
