So far very good

- Tom, 5 February, 2024

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

Pros & Cons

Easy installation
Good cycling feel
Nice and warm indoor cycling
Nice routes via the Garmin Tacx app
Realistic resistance
Speeds not always true

I was very positively surprised by the realistic feel the tacx Flaux S allows you to experience.

- Ber, 16 January, 2022

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

Realistic cycling experience
True "plug & play"
Very nice online community

Just very happy with it!

- Ton, 19 December, 2021

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

If you are thinking of buying, I strongly recommend you do so.

- Oskar, 25 November, 2021

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

Easy to assemble and pair with Zwift
Quiet and does not affect the rest of the family
Stable unit that stands firm
No on/off button. Have to pull out the cord instead.

Good value for money

- Oz, 6 November, 2021

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.

Been in use for three years
Cheapest
Perfect model in terms of p/k

Top! Beware of addiction risk (icm zwift)

- Stephan, 12 September, 2021

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

Easy to install
Ideal for structured training
Service from Mantel
Cost for a doubting starter (do it though)
Heavy to move around
Software updates sometimes cause hassle

Recommended, also as a first smart trainer

- Elien, 8 September, 2021

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.

1 month zwift and 2 months Tacx app for free
Easy to store
Price-quality

Beyond expectations fun!

- Rémon, 9 May, 2021

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

Automatic resistance
Compatible with Garmin Edge 530
Fast Bluetooth connection
Pairing with Zwift
Stable
A bit heavy with moving
No handlebar

Quiet and very simple bicycle trainer

- Rutger, 19 March, 2021

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 ;)

Great for continuing interactive training in winter

- Dries, 17 January, 2021

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

Connection via ant+ and bluetooth
Easy installation
Little noise during training
Realistic training
Quite expensive

Best buy in 2020

- Timon, 13 January, 2021

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.

Cassette easy to install
Easy to use

Super purchase

- Jb, 7 January, 2021

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

Good Tacx app
Inspiring videos
Plug in and start
App needs Metal compatible graphic card
Subscriptions only through website, not from app

- Debby, 19 November, 2020

Just what I was looking for...

- Philippe, 19 September, 2020

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.

Really Impressed

- Nick, 4 July, 2020

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!
