Well, if any bike/component/device I bought for me in last years worth every euro, that's this trainer for sure. I had two main criteria and both are satisfied for the reasonable price. 1. My criteria number one was noise. I have a kid and I can only train during the night when he sleeps, so trainer have to be quiet. It is! Of course, it is not "no sound" device, but very acceptable for the home trainer. 2. My second criteria were entertainment. I wanted my training looks and feel realistic with the support of software, virtual reality etc. That is natively supported with Tacx software which is free of charge (with some additional training videos you can buy later on) I also have to mention that overall build quality is good, as well as stability and usability. It pretty much a plug-and-play device. I usually use it with my MacBook and playing realistic video simulations (which is actually recorded videos, so the feeling is amazingly real). For me also a very good reason why I think it is a great investment is that introduce zero excuses for training, you can always train without fear that you'll wake up your neighbors and you can always change the program of training or video + it is very realistic feel.
