** This is the DEMO unit that was on display in our store. **
Now with new features and revised internals, the Tacx Neo 2 Smart trainer is better than ever. While it has been improved in a number of ways, this second generation Neo is more an evolution of the first generation Neo rather than a full overhaul of the model. It still rides and feels like the previous generation Neo, but offers more data, more accurate readings and optimized everything.
Road feel is simulated in a highly realistic manner, and there is no loss of power. The Neo can even reproduce the effect of gravel, wood and cobbles. Plus, the flexible frame allows a few degrees of movement while cycling which means that it can follow the natural course of your body for an even better cycling feeling.
Maximum resistance and slope simulation stay the same at 2200 watts and 25% respectively. The motor can also accelerate when you are on a descent, this makes a very reaslistic ride.
Still as silent as ever, the Neo 2 Smart trainer now offers improved cadence readings and left/right power readings, as well as speed and power. ANT+ and Bluetooth Smart connectivity allows you to use any training app out there. The fully interactive smart trainer can be controlled by Tacx or any third party applications.
When the Neo 2 Smart isn’t connected to a smartphone, tablet or computer, it behaves as a fluid trainer. This means the trainer behaves progressively: when your speed increases, the resistance increases as well. This means it is possible to use this trainer in a “stand-alone” status. What's more, the NEO generates it's own energy, allowing you to use it without any power source. Please note that without power, descents cannot be simulated.
It can easily be folded when you want to store it for the summer or transport it to your cabin. The two legs act as two handles for easier handling.
