Tacx Flux Smart Trainer

With remarkable success of Tacx' first direct drive smart trainer, the Neo, Tacx set about developing the Flux, which combines direct drive and an electric brake to provide an accessible direct drive experience. Direct drive smart trainers are considerably quieter when in use and are also more accurate than conventional tyre driven trainers. With direct drive power is transferred directly from your pedals to the Flux, allowing it to give a reading accuracy of <5%, with data suggesting that this improves to <3% after fifteen minutes or so riding as the trainer auto-calibrates, putting it far ahead of similarly priced competition. You can access your live ride metrics during sessions on the Flux via any compatible Bluetooth/Ant+ device, such as your Garmin (or equivalent), smartphone, tablet and your powerful PC or Mac. You can also enter the world of virtual reality and ride a course on your screen, with your Flux simulating riding conditions, either solo or competing in races against others through third party software such as Zwift or using Tacx' own Advanced software.

The Flux has enough power to provide realistic simulation of top speed sprints and climbs up to a 10% gradient, typical Alpine steepness, to allow a rider to really push their limits on a trainer. Equipped with the heaviest flywheel Tacx have ever used on a trainer, The Flux also offers the truest simulation of pedal strokes yet. To facilitate high power training sessions the Flux was designed with stability and support in mind. The Flux is designed to support the most rigorous riding, including being able to stand on the pedals without disturbing the stability of the trainer. It's also the first Tacx trainer where the front wheel does not require a support, making it easy to set up and convenient to use. With this stable base established you're free to let loose and have some care-free fun on the Flux. The Flux is an excellent bit of kit, bringing direct drive to the masses and its benefits of heightened power, greater accuracy and quieter functioning for a competitive price.
