The Flux 2’s electronic brake can be controlled by software. This allows for truly realistically simulated climbs due to automatic gradient adjustments. This makes the Flux 2 an excellent base for a wide variety of cycle training.

Connecting to Software and Devices
With the ANT+- and ANT+ FE-C connections you can easily and quickly connect this smarttrainer to other sensors with ANT+. This allows you to collect even more training data. Are you done with your workout? Then simply exchange your workout data with devices, apps and software via the Bluetooth signal.

Suited for a wide range of bicycles

This makes the Tacx Flux 2 Smart T2980 a great choice for cyclists looking for a versatile turbo trainer and are interested in training statistics.

Including Garmin HRM-Dual heart rate monitor
With this Garmin heart rate monitor, you receive real-time training data about your heart rate on your favourite training devices. The heart rate monitor easily attaches with a strap around your chest. Here, it measures the electrical activity of your heart's beating. The Garmin HRM-Dual's real-time heart rate data gives you the most accurate training information, allowing you to optimally adjust your performance. Via ANT+ and Bluetooth connections, you can easily pair the heart rate monitor with your Garmin device, online training programmes like Zwift, compatible fitness equipment at your favourite gym and your smartphone, for example.

Including Tacx Trainermat
The Tacx Trainermat ensures you can train worry-free. It protects your floor from damage by the trainer and from sweat dripping onto the floor. It also dampens noise to keep the rest of the house and neighbours happy. The mat is easy to fold and lightweight.

Technology

Connecting to Windows PCs

Do you own a Tacx Flux 2 Smart and do you want to get the most out of your trainings than you would with smartphone or tablet apps? You can connect your trainer to your computer. This way, you can train using the Tacx Desktop App. This way, regulating resistance and performance data read-out uses your computer instead of your tablet or smartphone. For example, you’ll be able to ride using longer videos with HD or Blu-Ray quality and your resistance will change based on the gradient.

Tacx Desktop App Premium Account

The Tacx Desktop App Premium allows you to enter the world of virtual cycling environments. This makes indoor training more exciting than ever. Cycle famous, staple trails, climbs and other unique routes from all over the world. Race against your friends or other contestants for a spot on the stage, cycle through the most gorgeous courses and receive live performance data (cadence, speed and power). Training inside is made more realistic than ever before thanks to the Tacx Desktop App Premium.

Virtual speed

To allow cyclists with a motor brake and an electro brake to race each other through Multiplayer, Tacx developed virtual speed. This translates energy into speed, which guarantees an honest contest. If this speed deviates from the rear wheel’s speed, the virtual speed will be shown on screen in a red font. Ideal for Zwift contests and training in TrainerRoad or Kinomap.

Frequently asked questions

What cassette do I need for my trainer?
