Smart and roller trainers

- Two versions: with a pre-fitted 11-speed cassette or Zwift Cog & Click for virtual gear changes; bike compatibility must be checked.
- Wi-Fi, ANT+, Bluetooth, Race Mode and BLE bridging; controlled via the Tacx Training App, Garmin Coach plans, and compatible Edge devices and watches.

- For simple rides without a virtual route, a non-controllable trainer with a sensor is sufficient; power is often estimated imprecisely from speed in this case.
- For virtual routes and guided workouts, a programmable smart trainer is required; the choice between wheel-on and direct drive depends on whether you change bikes.
- For short intervals and races, fast response times, appropriate gear changes and a stable software connection are more important than the specified maximum wattage.
