Riding experience like on the road

Garmin has set new standards with its indoor cycling subsidiary Tacx. The FLUX S smart trainer is the result of years of experience in the development of home trainers and cycling accessories. What started in a small bike shop in the Netherlands has now become one of the biggest success stories in the cycling industry.
The FLUX S Smart has become one of the most low-vibration, robust and durable home trainers on the market thanks to its thoughtful design. The FLUX S can deliver up to 1500 watts and brake at 65N. Due to the design of the popular trainer, inclines of up to 10% can also be simulated. The trainer has to be adjusted to the rider once with the spin-down calibration and then reliably communicates measured values - such as power, speed and cadence - with a deviation of less than 3%.

Furthermore, a dynamic inertia simulation is used in the FLUX S Smart. This controls the mass inertia (up to 22.8kg or 50.3 lbs) and balances the weight, speed and angle of inclination to create a realistic riding experience. In order for the FLUX S to realistically recreate a downhill run, it requires an external power source, which may range from 110 to 240 volts. The plug for this is included in the scope of delivery.

Compatibility and autonomy

Nowadays, smart trainers are almost obligatory to be as compatible as possible. The FLUX S Smart is not only compatible with training apps such as TrainerRoad and Zwift via Bluetooth and ANT+, it also offers you the possibility of combining with several devices at the same time. The advantage of the Tacx trainers is the connection with Garmin, because if you have a Garmin bike computer, you can also save your ride data there. In addition, you can use more than 100 high-quality videos in the Tacx training app to have even more riding fun. If you don't want to use these features, simply use the autonomy mode. When the FLUX S is not connected, it simulates riding on a flat road while the resistance increases due to a higher riding speed.
The FLUX S Smart is compatible with all common gear systems (Campagnolo, Shimano, Sram). In principle, up to 3 chainrings with 22 to 53 teeth can be used at the front. The included freewheel body fits 8-11-speed cassettes from Shimano and Sram. The Hometrainer is therefore not compatible with a Shimano or Sram 12-speed cassette in its standard delivery. For a Sram 12-speed cassette, a Shimano 12-speed cassette and a Campagnolo drivetrain, a Tacx freewheel body must also be purchased. The size of the cassette can be between 10 and 40 teeth.

The FLUX S is designed for all common axle systems. The adapter kit allows you to use the home trainer with a 5mm quick release as well as with 12mm thru axles with a maximum width of 148mm. The FLUX S is not suitable for the Specialized SCS system.
