Pros and cons

According to our bike trainer expert

The bike trainer has 10 manually adjustable resistance levels that you can use to challenge yourself.
The closed-off brake pad limits the noise level during your workout.
Thanks to the included front wheel support, your bike will always be stable.
A wheel on bike trainer offers less resistance and is louder than a direct drive bike trainer.
To reduce the noise level of your workout and prevent wear of your tires, you need a trainer tire.

Description

The Tacx Booster T2500 is a bike trainer for the demanding cyclist who'd like to do an intense warm up or training. Thanks to the powerful magnetic resistance, the Booster generates a lot of power at a low speed. Choose from 10 different settings with the included handlebar switch, allowing you to change the position of the magnets in the resistance unit, which adjusts the resistance the trainer gives. The integrated resistance ensures you can't come into contact with the hot flywheel, which makes the Tacx Booster a safe trainer. A lot of professional teams use the Tacx Booster for their warm up and training.

Great Booster!

Easy assembly
Quickly change bicycles
Great training replacement
Too light resistance???

I've had the Booster T2500 for a few months now and started using it when the weather turned bad and the roads/bike paths became more polluted making cycling on 23mm wide tires left.

Normally I didn't cycle in the winter and I could start again in the spring with building fitness and strength. Now I can continue building up during the winter with targeted workouts. That is the main reason to buy a bicycle trainer. Then why the Booster? I seem to be able to motivate myself well to complete a training session 2 or 3 times a week by means of the results achieved and selected cycling videos on the computer. VR training may be more fun, but also a lot more expensive. The Booster is the best normal bike trainer, so that's why I chose it.

Installing the Booster is quick and easy. The device is collapsible and easy to move or carry. After being used in the garage, the trainer, with the bicycle on it, is now in a former bedroom on the first floor. The trainer is not silent and transmits sound to the floor below. Buying the Tacx trainer mat helps almost nothing. Changing bikes is also quick and easy.

Training on the Booster is a godsend for me. Independent of all kinds of outside influences, you can complete your training under constant and controlled conditions. As a result, the progress can be noticed and measured each week. A possible disadvantage could be that the resistance of the 8 magnets is a bit on the light side. Setting the resistance to 10 (full) and the gears of the bicycle to 34/28 is clearly too light and cannot be compared with various hills in South Limburg. By the way, that can easily be solved by shifting harder at the rear to simulate the effect of a mountain training, so it's not a problem for me. In addition, I wonder: wouldn't the rear wheel slip a lot more with an even heavier resistance? The rear wheel almost never does that skidding. Not even with even heavier gear changes and standing in the pedals.

All in all I am very satisfied with the Booster and would definitely recommend it to others. More important (!) condition is that you can motivate yourself to train a few times. If you can't do that, you'll soon lose your mind.

Review is 8,0 out of 10.

Excellent device that I am already very happy with.

Easy to assemble
Sufficient training opportunities
nice design
Switching is a bit rough

Ideal for this time of year. I use it almost daily. Where it normally takes me quite some time before I am outside with the bike, this is really ideal. Within a few minutes I'm on it, watching the traffic, with some music playing. Top!!

purchase Tacx Booster

easy assembly
number of options in terms of adjustment
smooth use
front wheel not really stable

First and foremost, it takes up almost no space and can easily be disassembled if necessary. I have a whole range of options in terms of adjustment, although I already regret not ordering the measuring system. (Can be done later). Can now also practice during the winter and do not have to rebuild. Have mounted an older bike and can use it like this without changing it every time.
