Motion Plates:
The easy-to-mount motion plates bring multidirectional movement to your NEO, NEO 2 or NEO 2T smart trainer for your most realistic ride yet. Now your time on the trainer will feel more like riding outdoors, with motion that follows the natural shifts of your body and can helpyou train more effectively.
The two-piece NEO motion plates attach magnetically to the underside of the trainer, making it quick to upgrade your indoor ride. Also, they don’t take up more space or add noise to your smart trainer’s nearly silent performance.
ImprovedRide Feel:
More motor power resulted in a better ride feel during climbs and sprints.
Improved Axle Compatibility:
Directly compatible with 135×10, 142×12 and 148×12 mm axles.
Complete Stillness:
Significant reduction of noise. By redesigning the magnets, we significantly improved the stillness of the NEO 2T. The noise coming from internal air displacements is reduced as well as vibrations noticed when pedalling at at a low cadence, that were being transferred to the floor. Resulting in a more silent Smart trainer then ever thought possible.
Powerful Climbs and Sprints:
The new motor design of the NEO 2T also improves the ride feel during a climb or acceleration. We were able to give the motor of the NEO 2T more power, resulting in the ability to generate higher resistance levels under specific conditions, like in a sprint or at low speeds.
Road Feel:
Experience the buzz of riding on cobblestones, gravel an many other road surfaces. This immersive feature is unique to the NEO series and can be used in Tacx Films and Zwift.
Descent Simulation:
At the top of a hill or mountain, there is always that exciting feeling of accelerating into a descent. Exactly that feeling is what this bike trainer gives you. The NEO 2T Smart accelerates in a descent.
Pedal Stroke Analysis:
The NEO 2 was already equipped with a capacitive left and right detection sensor that accurately measures the exact position of both your legs. By adding standard ANT+ Cycling dynamics, you can now analyse your pedal stroke via the software of third parties; for example on a Garmin Edge bike computer.
Stable Yet Flexible:
The design of the NEO 2T Smart allows a few degrees of movement to the left and right while cycling. This offers a certain freedom of movement for a more natural ride feel.
Accurate:
The Tacx NEO 2T Smart measures your power with incredible precision, making sure that your data is accurate and reliable. This Smart trainers is the only trainers that doesn’t require calibration process. This Smart trainer measures the power you put through the pedals accurately within 1%.
Smooth Ride Feel:
The NEO 2T Smart is very responsive and reacts instantly to speed or incline changes. It also features Dynamic inertia which it compensates for weight, speed and angle of inclination to ensure the most realistic and smooth ride feel possible.
Self Powered:
The NEO 2T Smart doesn’t require an external power source as it generates its own energy when you turn the pedals. This direct drive trainer can easily be used anywhere you like. When connected to an external power source, the Descent simulation feature is enabled.
