According to our bike trainer expert
The neighbors won't hear anything from your living room attempt to climb the Alpe d'Huez. You're on the Tacx Neo Smart: a very silent bike trainer. Because the trainer has a virtual braking system, the road simulation feels very natural. Even during climbs of up to 25%. Easily connect the trainer via ANT+ or Bluetooth with Tacx' apps. On those, you can check your performance data or adjust the resistance. Don't feel like using the app? The Neo Smart can work isokinetic. The faster you're pedalling, the higher the resistance will be. You can even use the bike trainer in your garden, as it works as a motor brake without AC power. You'll have plenty of bike rides to complete both indoors and outdoors all throughout the year.

After a tacx vortex, this tacx neo turns out to be something completely different. Much quieter, much smoother in the transitions in heaviness. You notice that very well in a descent that turns into a climb, the bike then continues slightly in the climb, which corresponds much better with reality. There is some movement in the bike, which I did not have to get used to and which actually feels nice. The installation speaks for itself and was therefore no problem at all. You can fold and store the tacx neo very compactly. The whole feels solid and does not look "cheap"! He actually isn't, because despite the cool blue price, you still need a (or more) good conversation with your partner for such an amount. but the sound of the trainer totally convinced my wife too! Keep in mind that for most a cassette will probably be added (don't buy the most expensive one) and as I discovered then, also a new chain! The neo is so strong that in a steep climb (15%) you sometimes have to step on the pedals, because this neo keeps simulating just about every percentage. I was used to the vortex that after about 5% the heaviness no longer increased, but only that the speed decreased if you kept pedaling just as fast and hard. The neo easily beats you and you will therefore have to provide more and more power yourself to get "above". But that's how it is in real cycling life too! What I also noticed is that the neo indicates a considerably lower power output than the vortex. This is often mentioned on the internet: the neo does pass on the power very neatly, but also a bit too low. Calibration is not necessary, but it is also not possible. Well, you have a bit of a handicap compared to other virtual cyclists. Then we have some gadgets. The neo has lights that indicate your delivered power: nice but not more than that. Then the surface simulation. You feel whether the road surface consists of concrete slabs, wooden planks, gravel, etc. etc. in the form of vibrations and some more resistance. As far as I know, that only works in Zwift and the tacx software so far. You can test it with the tacx app! Also nice. But you should not buy this neo for the gadgets, but for the great transmission of resistance / weight, solid and handy design, the noiselessness and you are freed from slipping and hard wearing rear tires! This neo hardly needs any further maintenance, just remove the cassette and body every year and grease it: see tacx website. I've been enjoying it for almost 2 weeks now! If you have the money, do it!

This allows you to train slopes indoors in a very realistic way.

Had to exchange the device because the LED lights don't light up well, were out of the center of their boxes, colors ran into each other!
For this I would like to thank Coolbleu for the service! After reporting the problem, a device was ready in the store the next day! Treated very well both over the phone and in the store! Thank you for that!
