Tacx Vortex Smart T2180 Turbo Trainer

Our choice for a mid-range Smart trainer

The Vortex Smart is the best value for money software controlled Smart trainer. This means that you are not dependent on a handlebar switch. This cycle trainer can simulate a maximum gradient of 7% and comes complete with a front wheel mount, ANT+ dongle and trainer strap.

Description

The Tacx Vortex Smart trainer allows you to train in your own specific way. It's entirely up to you to choose what training level you wish to combine with which training options. The Vortex Smart comes without a head unit, as you can connect your own preferred device instead, for instantly by pairing your smartphone or tablet. New is the open ANT+ FE-C protocol, which allows third party software to control the trainer via ANT+. This allows you to train using software like ZWIFT, Kinomap, or VirtualTraining.

Natural Road Simulation

The Vortex Smart is fitted with a strong electric brake which can offer up to 950 watts of resistance. This enables the trainer to simulate gradients of up to 7%. An electric brake is an advanced braking system controlled by software and capable of providing you with a realistic cycling feel. The Tacx Vortex Smart is entirely wireless apart from the main power cord. The trainer uses both ANT+ and Bluetooth Smart to communicate with external devices. The included Skyliner front wheel support raises your front wheel to the same level as the rear.
