The iconic, progressive and popular NEO 2 Smart is optimized into an even quieter and more powerful Smart direct drive. The motor is redesigned in order to provide a better indoor cycling experience and ride feel, especially during climbs and sprints. The NEO 2T Smart is more silent than ever thought possible and without question the most powerful, realistic and accurate bike trainer to date.
Garmin has set new standards with its indoor cycling subsidiary Tacx. The NEO 2T smart 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 2T Smart has become much quieter, more robust and more durable thanks to a redesigned motor and redesigned magnets. As a result, the NEO 2T can now deliver up to 2200 watts and brake with up to 260N. 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 2T Smart 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 more. In order for the NEO 2T to realistically simulate a downhill run, it requires an external 110 to 240 volt power source.
Nowadays, smart trainers are almost obliged to be as compatible as possible. The NEO 2T 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 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 2T is not connected, it simulates riding on a flat road while the resistance increases due to a higher riding speed.
The NEO 2T 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. 8-11-speed cassettes from Shimano and Sram fit on the supplied freewheel body. The home trainer is therefore not compatible with Shimano or Sram 12-speed cassettes 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 NEO 2T is designed for all common axle systems. The adapter kit allows you to use the exercise bike with a 5mm quick release as well as with 12mm thru axles with a maximum width of 148mm. The NEO 2T is not suitable for the Specialized SCS system.
Like all manufacturers of bicycles, bicycle parts and accessories, Garmin / Tacx is also affected by the ongoing difficult supply situation on the market. Therefore, the NEO 2T Smart is no longer delivered with a cassette. This can be purchased from us additionally, depending on availability.
