Leading smart trainer brand Tacx recently brought its entry-level smart trainer, the Flux S, to the South African market, where it’s expected to flourish, especially as we approach winter. You stand a chance to win one for yourself if you answer these three questions correctly.
You may have noticed that for the inaugural UCI eSport World Championships, every competitor was fitted onto a Tacx Neo 2, the flagship model in the Tacx smart trainer range. The reason for that is that the Tacx Neo 2 closely resembles real-riding conditions better than any other smart trainer and the virtual racing needed to be as realistic and even to the riders as possible.
But at R28199, the Neo 2 is above the budget limit of many. That’s where the Flux S becomes a super option. With very similar styling and stability to the Neo 2, the Flux S is less than half the price, but offers the same premium technology, minus some bonus features.
The Tacx Flux S offer does offer the following features as standard:
- Measures ride data to within 3% accuracy
- Has a super-quiet flywheel action
- Is smart-trainer app compatible, including Zwift, Tacx Training and others
- Simulates inclines up to a 10% gradient
- Measures explosive out-the-saddle efforts up to 1500 watts
