Tacx Neo Smart Trainer (T2800)

The Tacx NEO Smart Trainer is the most powerful and silent indoor trainer to date. It is the only real direct drive as it does not contain any physical transmission like a roller or belt. The NEO is also the only indoor trainer that can simulate different types of road surfaces.

Most silent, accurate and realistic trainer to date

The Tacx NEO’s innovative working principle has been the key to mastering the contradiction of being able to create a very powerful yet silent trainer. To optimize power efficiency from pedal to motor we eliminated all physical transitions, no belt, roller or wheel.

Endless Power without Complications

The offers high power levels at low speeds, enabling accurate hill climb simulations, without complications of calibrations and maintenance.

Highly Intelligent Mind

This brute force is harnessed by a highly intelligent mind. True road feel for any person and all slope magnitudes are achieved by the variable inertia control, the NEO predicts your movement 1000x per second and adjusts the resistance accordingly.

Exceptional Accuracy

The Tacx NEO Smart Trainer derives its strength from an electromotor containing 32, precisely positioned magnets that rotate around 30 coils. This exceptional accuracy ensures minimal power loss – almost close to nothing – when training.

Plug-in/Plug-out Technology

Train anywhere. This unique feature enables the Tacx NEO Smart Trainer to be used with or without mains power.

Downhill Drive

This feature enables the simulation of a descent and the dead centre in your pedal stroke. When you are going down a mountain in a Tacx Film, virtual world or GPS based training, the wheel keeps spinning. Just like when you’re riding outdoors.

Road surface simulation

Experience the feeling of riding on cobblestones, gravel and off road, all while you are indoors. You feel the vibrations of the road surface in your legs, exactly the way it would feel outdoors. This entirely new feature is unique to the Tacx NEO Smart Trainer and can be used with some Tacx Films, virtual worlds and Zwift.

BikeRadar verdict

“Exceptional in every way”

Big stable foot print. Maximize stability.

Dimension: 750 x 575mm

Cleverly Foldable

After folding up the Tacx NEO the wings serve as a handle, increasing the trainer’s ease of use.

Rocking it

A little bit of flex is built into the Tacx NEO’s frame in order to provide a more realistic cycling feeling.

Compatible software

Tacx NEO Smart trainers use the Bluetooth Smart and ANT+ FE-C protocol for communication which allows them to be controlled by third-party software. The software receives the speed, cadence and power from the trainer and controls the brake. Click on more information for an explanation of the compatibility and functions of each software package.
