Description
Description
The Flux S Smart trainer is the successor of the popular Tacx Flux T2900. Now that the shape of the Flux S has been adapted, it is also suitable for road bikes with a long cage derailleur. Also, the Tacx Flux 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 he quietest trainers out there. Therefore, it is the ideal trainer to use in a noisy environment.
The Flux S Smart’s integrated power meter has an accuracy of up to 3 percent. This makes it ideal for cyclists who love to train with FTP, wattage and Watt/kg.
Wide range of training options
The Flux S Smart has a maximum resistance capacity of 1500 Watts. In addition, the Smart S can simulate inclines with a percentage increase of up to 10%. The electronic brake enables automatic adjustment of training resistance. This allows you to precisely simulate climbs for a very realistic experience.
Connecting to software and devices
With ANT+ and Bluetooth signals you can quickly and easily connect to other devices, applications and software. Thanks to the ANT+ FE-C protocol you can allow for the turbo trainer to be controlled by Tacx apps or third party apps like Zwift. The trainer can also be used stand-alone. When it's not connected to other devices or software, the Tacx Flux will simulate a level road.
The Tacx Flux S Smart T2900S is an excellent choice for cyclists who want to keep training during the winter months.

To determine this, look at the brand of the cassette and the number of teeth. Does your bike have a Shimano or SRAM cassette? Does it have 8 to 11 sprockets?

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

Research done, advice given, choice made! Top arranged at Mantel.
After researching, made the choice to go for the slightly more expensive model. No regrets yet. Works well, the Tacx app works fine. Nice training indoors like this!

Top Tacx
Bought this Tacx on the instructions of friends, great for doing metres indoors! Especially with a newborn baby if the wife also wants to exercise :)
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Totally happy with product
Factory settings of flywheel is not as expected. Without using Tacx's app, it pedals very heavily. With application of app it is fine, but this does force the buyer to subscribe. This does not come across as fair
