Tacx Thru Axle Direct Mount Adapter Kit

The Tacx FLUX 2 Smart Trainer offers higher accuracy and a wider range of resistance levels, making it ideal for serious cyclists looking for a more immersive training experience. The FLUX S, while still a great option, is designed for those who may not need as many advanced features and is often more budget-friendly. Both trainers connect to cycling apps for interactive workouts.

The Tacx NEO 2 Smart Trainer is renowned for its quiet operation and realistic ride feel, simulating outdoor cycling conditions effectively. It features advanced technology that adjusts resistance automatically based on your speed and power output, providing a more engaging and challenging workout. This makes it a favorite among serious cyclists who want to maintain their training intensity indoors.

A thru axle is a type of axle that secures the wheel to the bike frame more securely than traditional quick-release skewers. This stability is crucial for performance and safety, especially during intense workouts or races. If your bike is equipped with a thru axle, it’s essential to ensure compatibility with your Tacx trainer for optimal performance.

Threaded inserts are used to adapt different sizes and types of thru axles to fit your Tacx trainer. They allow for a secure connection by matching the thread pitch of your bike's axle with the trainer's specifications. This ensures that your bike is properly mounted, enhancing stability and safety during your training sessions.

Yes! Both the Tacx FLUX 2 and NEO 2 Smart Trainers are compatible with popular cycling apps like Zwift, TrainerRoad, and Tacx's own app. This connectivity allows you to track your performance, join virtual rides, and participate in structured training programs, making your indoor cycling experience more interactive and enjoyable.

For beginners, the Tacx FLUX S Smart Trainer is often recommended due to its user-friendly features and more accessible price point. It provides a solid introduction to indoor cycling without overwhelming new users with advanced technology. As you progress, you can consider upgrading to models like the FLUX 2 or NEO 2 for enhanced performance and features.
