Specifications
The Flux S Smart trainer is the successor of the popular Tacx Flux T2900. Now that the shape of the Flux S has been renewed, this trainer is also suitable for road bikes with a long cage derailleur. Plus, the Tacx Flux S's motor has been further improved to make it even quieter during training sessions.
One of the quietest turbo trainers available
The Flux S Smart is one of the quietest trainers available. That makes it ideal for use in quiet areas.
The Flux S Smart’s integrated power meter has an accuracy with a deviation of at most 3 percent, making it one of the most accurate turbo trainers. Ideal for cyclists who enjoy working with FTP, watts and watt/kg data.
Wide range of training options
The Flux S Smart has a maximum resistance capacity of 1500 watts. Plus, the Smart S can simulate inclines up to 10%. If you connect your bike trainer to interactive software, its electronic brake will automatically adjust your training resistance. This means you can precisely simulate climbs for a very realistic experience.
Connecting to software and devices
You can quickly and easily connect this trainer to other devices, applications and software via ANT+ and Bluetooth. You can also allow Tacx apps or third party applications, like Zwift, to control your turbo trainer using ANT+ or FE-C. The trainer can also be used in stand-alone mode. When it's not connected to other devices or software, the Tacx Flux will simulate a flat road.
The Tacx Flux S Smart T2900S is an excellent choice for cyclists who want to keep training during the winter months.
The Tacx cycle trainers support Bluetooth Smart and ANT+. You can connect to all modern Android and iOS smartphones and tablets via Bluetooth, as well as laptops with Bluetooth support. Don't have any Bluetooth devices? Or would you rather connect using ANT+? Then you can choose a Tacx ANT+ dongle. Easily connect it to computers and laptops via USB-A.

First of all, you'll need a cassette to use the Tacx Flux S Smart. Make sure this casette has the same gears and gear ratio as your current cassette, so you can easily transfer your bike. An 11-28T and 11sp, for example. You can find this information on your cassette. You'll also need a cassette removal tool to install and uninstall cassettes: you can find these here. Do you have a bike that isn't a mountain bike, and does it have an 8, 9, 10, or 11-speed SRAM or 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12-speed Shimano cassette? Then your cassette is compatible with this turbo trainer.
Depending on your cassette, you might have to install spacers on your trainer's freehub body. If your bike has a 12-speed SRAM cassette, you'll have to install this SRAM XD/XD-R body first. If your bike has a 12-speed Shimano MTB cassette, you'll have to install this Micro-Spline Body first. If you have a bike with a 9, 10, 11 or 12-speed Campagnolo groupset, you'll have to install this Campagnolo body first.
What's the difference between the Elite Suito-T, the Wahoo Kickr Core and the Tacx Flux S?
The Elite Suito-T, Wahoo Kickr Core and Tacx Flux are all high-end turbo trainers with a good price-performance ratio. Every trainer has its own distinctive features:
Elite Suito-T
The Elite Suito-T is striking due to its weight and size. It's small, and very compact, making this trainer highly suitable for anyone who wants a trainer that's very easy to store when not in use.
Wahoo Kickr Core
The Wahoo Kickr Core is the most powerful turbo trainer in its range. It also has a robust design and is the only turbo trainer in its range that's available with a Zwift Cog.
Tacx Flux S
The Tacx Flux S is by far the most popular turbo trainer in its range. This trainer is striking because of how quiet it is, making it very suitable for people who train in environments where they can't produce too much noise.
Can I use the Tacx Flux S Smart with Zwift or other training software?
Yes, you certainly can! The Tacx Flux S Smart can be paired with a laptop, tablet or smartphone via ANT+, ANT+ FE-C or Bluetooth Smart. This makes it easy to train using Zwift, Elite My E-Training or other third party apps. The built-in speed sensor, cadence sensor and power meter measure your performance and upload this data to your software.
Do I need adapters to make my bike compatible with the Tacx Flux S Smart?
This trainer comes with adapters for 130 and 135 mm Quick Release skewers, as well as adapters for 12x142 mm and 12x148 mm thru axles. You use these together with your bike's thru axle.

Keep climbing!
"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!
