Riding experience like on the road

Garmin has set new standards with its indoor cycling subsidiary Tacx. The NEO 2 SMART SE trainer is the result of years of experience in the development of home trainers and cycling accessories. What started in a small bike store in the Netherlands has now become one of the biggest success stories in the cycling industry.
The NEO 2 SMART SE has become much quieter, more robust and more durable thanks to a redesigned motor and redesigned magnets. As a result, the NEO 2 SMART SE can now deliver up to 2200 watts and brake with up to 250N. Due to the redesign, inclines of up to 25% can now be simulated. The trainer can be set up without calibration and still reliably conveys measured values - such as power, speed and cadence - with a deviation of less than 1%.

Furthermore, the NEO 2 SMART SE uses a dynamic inertia simulation. This controls inertia (up to 125kg or 275.6 lbs) and compensates for weight, speed and lean angle, creating a realistic riding experience. Additionally, the Road Feel System can simulate different surfaces such as gravel, cobblestones and many more. In order for the NEO 2 SMART SE to realistically simulate a downhill run, it requires an external 110 to 240 volt power source.

Compatibility and autonomy

Nowadays, smart trainers are almost obliged to be as compatible as possible. The NEO 2 SMART SE 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 Tacx trainers here 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, just use the autonomy mode. When the NEO 2 SMART SE is not connected, it simulates riding on a flat road while the resistance increases due to a higher riding speed.

The NEO 2 SMART SE is compatible with all common gear systems (Campagnolo, Shimano, Sram). Basically, up to 3 chainrings with 22 to 53 teeth can be ridden in front. On the freewheel body for Sram or Shimano fits a cassette of 8 to 11 chainrings. The home trainer is therefore not compatible with Shimano or Sram 12-speed cassette in its standard delivery. For a Sram 12-speed cassette, a Shimano 12-speed cassette and a Campagnolo drive, a Tacx freewheel body must also be purchased. The size of the cassette may be between 10 and 40 teeth. The size of the cassette can be between 10 and 40 teeth. In addition, the NEO 2 SMART SE is designed for all common axle systems. The adapter kit leaves both the possibility to use the home trainer with a 5mm quick release, as well as with 12mm thru axles with up to max. 148mm width. The NEO 2 SMART SE is not suitable for the Specialized SCS system.
