Reviews over the

Tacx Flux S Smart T2900S

A fine product to work with.

Pros & Cons

Fully meets expectations, now also biking during the dark days

Pros & Cons

The Tacx Flux 2 works fine, and you hardly hear it. So my winter can't go wrong anymore!

Pros & Cons

This is my 2nd connected home trainer and from the very first turns of the pedals I was seduced by the 'silence' of the Tacx with a well-tuned bike, it's a joy. With my advanced age, the 10% gradient limit means I can do all the circuits on my platform. The only minor problem is the power socket that sticks out at the back of the Tacx, but you just have to unplug it after training to avoid banging it.

Within 30 min of cycling A nice replacement for outdoor cycling A fun challenge with Garmin app or zwift

Pros & Cons

"My Tacx, my virtual stage" Who would have thought that a piece of technology would add so much to my training? My Tacx trainer is not just another piece of equipment; it is my partner in crime in the basement, where concrete walls transform into the Alps, Pyrenees and Australian landscapes. With the smoothness of a professional peloton and the precision of a Swiss clock, this trainer helps me pedal wattages I thought were impossible. Every climb on Zwift feels like I'm climbing a personal mountain - sometimes literally with shaky legs, but always with a big smile afterwards. Setup was easy, even with my 32-11 cassette versus the Tacx's 12-25. It shifts as if to encourage me: "Come on, one more tooth harder!" My heart rate and I have since developed a love-hate relationship with this machine, but that's part of it. In short, this Tacx is not just an investment, it's an invitation to become the best version of myself - without ever leaving my house. Keep climbing!

Pros & Cons

The ideal bike trainer for the home.

Pros & Cons

Anyone who can open a door using a key can also handle this unit. Even converting from Shimano to Campagnolo is peaked in 10 minutes.

Pros & Cons

Fine bike trainer. Up to 10% incline is sufficient for me. Descending (fast turns) and watching the screen is a bit odd.

Pros & Cons

After researching, made the choice to go for the slightly more expensive model. No regrets yet. Works well, the Tacx app works fine. Nice training indoors like this!

Pros & Cons

Bought this Tacx on the instructions of friends, great for doing metres indoors! Especially with a newborn baby if the wife also wants to exercise :)

Pros & Cons

Enables you to draw up a concrete and perfectly adapted training plan

Pros & Cons

Had been looking for a smart trainer for some time. Read many good comments and very happy with the purchase. Fast delivery and good service.

Pros & Cons

The tacx Flux S is very user-friendly, you take the device out of the box and 5 minutes later you are already cycling in a very extensive virtual world. Virtual cycling with the tacx approaches the feeling of real cycling much more than I expected.

Pros & Cons

It completely matches my expectations . It's nice to be able to start right away. Not too much fuss . I would personally raise the price slightly and then sell a cadet with it

Pros & Cons

Completely meets expectations. Just went to the shop quickly before the lockdown and was very well advised and helped with fitting a new cassette.

Pros & Cons

Good and quick connection with laptop, realistic driving, uphill goes really hard too

Pros & Cons

Bought this Tacx to train better in the winter months with less weather, and I'm not a very hero for riding the road bike in the dark despite good lighting that I have, then this in combination with Zwift and a Tacx programme is a top solution

Pros & Cons

Works beyond expectations

Pros & Cons

If I had known about this earlier! What a great piece of equipment! Strong, compact and an incredibly fun challenging training programme. Say goodbye to cycling in the rain!

Pros & Cons

To start cycling again during the winter, I bought my Tacx Flux to connect and cycle on Zwift. I am very pleased with the product, which really forces me to struggle on the uphills as it gets heavier. A super fun training tool that feels extremely realistic.

Pros & Cons

Training plans come with the app are a great way to stay fit in the winter

Pros & Cons

Been in use for three years as a competitive rider. Use m mostly in winter. Really perfect model for normal riders. Max wattage is also more than enough. Only downside is that the erg mode fluctuates around the set wattage. So eg: 300 watts becomes: 290-310-305-285, etc.

Pros & Cons

For me, ideal way to have started cycling! No leaks, no cars and just cycle! (Do buy a good fan, sweat mat for underneath, good quality cycling shorts (with good chamois), chamois cream and ant.+ usb right away. This is also an immediate drawback. High start-up costs. But in my opinion necessary if you get addicted to zwift for many hours a week!

Pros & Cons

It took some searching to install the bike on it but once placed, no problems. Despite the weight, easy to move around. Stable while cycling and great slopes to make. Also very satisfied with delivery, delivered the very next day.

Pros & Cons

I was keen to keep my fitness up to scratch on days when the weather in the Netherlands is not great. The Tacx combined with Zwift is a GOOD combination. I didn't expect indoor training to be so much fun. I live in a flat area where an 80-kilometre ride involves just under 60 to 80 altitude metres. Using this Tacx in combination with Zwift is ideal for training altitude metres.

Pros & Cons

Super simple direct drive trainer. Screw in two screws and screw on your cassette. Bike on and off you go. Because the Tacx is super quiet, you can also cycle at night when the children are in bed without complaints ;)

Pros & Cons

Stable, not too noisy and really good feeling on the bike.

Pros & Cons

Easy to install. And immediate cycling. Top

Pros & Cons

My first direct drive Tacx. Quite a step forward compared to my old Tacx. Apart from a much more realistic uphill resistance, the device is also a lot quieter than my old Tacx. The experience with Zwift makes it even more challenging and allows you to continue training in the winter months.

Pros & Cons

What a treat to be able to cycle with this Tacx. Training in the winter months has never been so easy. It really is plug-and-play, even with the connection to my laptop (Macbook Air), use Zwift for this. Installing the Shimano cassette was easy with the included fitting ring. The Tacx stays put when cycling, is quite heavy. Buying a sweat pad underneath is not a luxury. Compared to my old Tacx, this one is very quiet, of course you can hear shifting gears and the chain running. But the hum of the old Tacx has disappeared! The only downside for me would be that I would have liked to have had a handle or something on the Tacx, so that I could move it more easily after training. Otherwise a good purchase, very happy with it.

Pros & Cons

Enjoy cycling indoors with this nice trainer. If you connect it to software, it regulates the resistance itself while you can switch gears yourself. Great!

Pros & Cons

After waiting a while (not deliverable due to everyone buying one in the lockdown) delivered smoothly. Plug in and start. Control from Tacx app on Ipad is excellent, unfortunately not usable on older Apple desktop (not Metal compatible graphic card). Fun and challenging videos. Nice training schedules. Subscriptions cannot be controlled from the app. Ideal for training evenings in winter. Haven't tried Zwift yet. Still have to buy sweat mat

Pros & Cons

First impression with indoor cycling is very good. Tacx runs nicely and the noise is not too bad.

Pros & Cons

Very happy with this bike trainer.

Pros & Cons

This is really ideal for cycling enthusiasts who can't take the cold well. It allows you to set up your bike in no time to explore online worlds.

Pros & Cons

Best One of my best purchases, delivered perfectly by Mantel. Been training for about a week now, works perfectly with Swift. Thanks again Nick for the great help over the phone and email. A big 10 for Mantel. Gr Christ

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Long doubted that a direct drive trainer would be so much fun to cycle on right now, but not for a moment regretted it! The cycling feeling is very realistic, and combined with the online programmes makes indoor cycling very addictive! Very easy to assemble, so you can get started quickly.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Super fine solid trainer icm the tacx app great workout. Little noise

Pros & Cons

A great roller and competitive in quality and price

Pros & Cons

A very good home trainer, easy to install and use if you've thought about adding an Ant+ hub. To link up the various sensors (cadence, speed or heart rate). An added bonus is the 2 free one-month subscriptions to the Zwift and Tacx applications.

Pros & Cons

My first turbo trainer and decided to go for a smart direct drive despite the cost as I get it was worth it. So far I’m really pleased, it connects easily to Zwift, is very realistic and quiet. Using it most days and I love it. Highly recommended!

Pros & Cons

I switched from a regular smart turbo to the direct drive. The Tacx Flux was incredibly simple to set up and sync to Zwift. Its fairly quiet and well worth spending the extra money on a direct drive smart trainer. Highly recommended.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Excellent trainer. Great service and fast delivery. Only negative with trainer I've found so far is that it can be a little unstable when out of the saddle.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Really happy with the trainer to date. Worth the extra money compared to other trainers and good value for money compared to the Neo.
