Description

Description

For the most demanding trainer warriors: the Tacx Neo Smart. No compromises; this trainer boasts all the great technologies developed by Tacx. Direct Drive ensures an efficient power transfer and a realistic cycling feel. The powerful engine brake can simulate even the steepest climbs, while being quiet enough to keep your neighbours happy while you suffer in silence on your trainer. The Bluetooth Smart and ANT+ FE-C connectivity allows you to use your own preferred training software.

The one and only Direct Drive Trainer

The Tacx Neo Smart is the first trainer with an actual direct-drive connection. The motor brake is connected directly to the cassette, so power is operated directly. This feels more natural, results in less wear, and your rear wheel won’t slip. The Tacx Neo Smart can be used with several apps and software programmes. The new open source FE-C ANT+ (Fitness Equipment control) protocol you’re not limited to Tacx software, but you can also use 3rd party apps, such as ZWIFT, Bkool, Kinomap, or VirtualTraining.

Best road-feel turbo money can buy! Delighted!

- Przemek 22 April 2018

This thing rocks, literally. I've just switched from Bushido wheel-on and it's been day and night. A world of difference. Truly impressive performance. Don't mind it be a bit chunky. It's brilliant.

Pros & Cons

Little target power variability in ERG mode
No calibration
Quiet operation
Rock-solid build
Second to none road feel
Heavy
No thru axle adapters in the box!
Pricy

- jonathan 8 November 2017

Love the tacx neo it's quite easy to set up and has a great road feel only trainer I've enjoyed getting out of the saddle sprinting on as there is a bit of side to side sway and no slippage even under high wattage also it's the best trainer for zwift

good road feel even out of the saddle efforts
perfect for zwift
quite
very stable
expensive
heavy and not very portable

Super bit of kit

- Eamonn 2 November 2017

Very happy with neo the wife wasn't convinced at the price and especially as the previous "dumb" turbo trainer only got the very rare use,we both use the neo on most days now making the neo well worth the price,it is just so smooth an realistic feel just takes the slog out of indoor training

Pros & Cons

A gorrilla would have trouble to max it out
Just a nice ride experience
Looks amazing
No calibration
Quite for a turbo trainer
The price but no excuse now not to go for a spin
User manual is sparse

5 / 5
