Details about the Garmin Tacx NEO 2T Smart Trainer
- This is what quiet sounds like: NEO magnets significantly reduce internal air displacement and vibrations, making the trainer surprisingly quiet.
- Realistic riding experience: The Tacx NEO 2T Smart reacts instantly to changes in speed or incline and allows freedom of movement to the left and right while riding, following your body’s natural movements.
- Dynamic inertia: To simulate an outdoor ride, dynamic inertia controls the mass inertia and balances weight, speed, and incline angle to make the riding experience as realistic as possible.
- More Realistic Movement: Enhance the Tacx NEO 2T trainer’s lateral movement with Motion Plates (sold separately) and experience more realistic, multidirectional movement. Adopt a more natural riding position and train more effectively.
- Real Road Feel: This feature works with the Tacx Training™ app, Zwift, and other compatible training apps. The trainer vibrates to simulate the typical sensation felt when riding on various road surfaces, such as cobblestones or gravel.
- The Zwift Experience: The Tacx NEO 2T with Zwift Cog and Click is ready for training and competition right out of the box. Zwift Cog replaces the cassette and is compatible with almost all bikes with 8- to 13-speed drivetrains. With Zwift Click, you have 24 silent virtual gears at your disposal. You can also steer, navigate menus, issue Ride-Ons, and use other features directly from the handlebars. Zwift Cog also supports workouts in ERG mode via compatible products such as the Edge® cycling computer.
- Rely on a robust design: The powerful motor design of the Tacx NEO 2T Smart delivers more power at low speeds. This significantly improves the riding experience on climbs or when accelerating.
- Explosive sprints: 32 neodymium magnets provide high braking force and high power output. The NEO 2T Smart offers maximum stability, even during explosive sprints of up to 2,200 watts.
- Hill training in the comfort of your own home: This trainer allows you to simulate gradients of up to 25%. It’s also compatible with the Tacx® Alpine gradient simulator, ensuring an even more realistic riding experience during your Zwift training sessions. When paired with Tacx Alpine, it also enables simulated descents of up to -10% as well as virtual real-time steering in the Zwift app, allowing you to enjoy a realistic riding experience, slipstream effects, and other benefits.
- Precise and reliable: Track and analyze your performance and progress with reliable measurements—no calibration required. This includes power, speed, and cadence, which are measured with an accuracy of up to 1%.
- Can be used without a power source: The trainer can also be used in autonomous mode—without a power cord. When not connected, it simulates riding on a flat road. The faster you ride, the higher the resistance.
- Compatible with multiple devices: Connect the Tacx NEO 2T Smart to a cycling computer or popular training apps such as the Tacx Training App, TrainerRoad, and Zwift. Then view your ride data and performance metrics in more detail in the Garmin Connect™ app.
- Tacx Training App: Access virtual workouts by setting up a free Garmin Coach training plan in the Garmin Connect app. You can then view and complete the workouts in the Tacx Training App. Ride on real routes around the world, train with virtual group rides, earn awards in the Garmin Connect app with a premium subscription, and much more. You can also track the trainer’s total statistics using the virtual odometer.
- Downhill Simulation: When connected to an external power source, the downhill simulation even replicates a high-speed descent. Enjoy the thrill of riding—even indoors.
