It's also compatible with 135x10, 142x12 and 148x12 mm axles without the need for extra adaptors. Using electromagnetic resistance, Tacx says it can simulate up to a 125kg flywheel and offers 2200-watts to fight against and a max incline of 25-per cent. Offering a degree or two of movement in the freewheel, the Neo 2T can also recreate road surface sensations with some clever electronics. If your pockets are deep enough, the Tacx Neo 2T turbo trainer is a Zwift or Rouvy lover’s best indoor companion. Premium retail price -Road disc calipers rub on trainer casing without extra spacers -Tacx app is pared down without an additional subscription -Cassette not included Read why the Direto XR is one of our favourites in our Elite Direto XR review. With our review of the Direto X seeing the lack of a cassette as one of the very few negatives about the trainer, it's a welcome improvement. There's improved power reading accuracy too, with the integrated OTS (optical torque sensor) power meter measuring your output with 1.5 per cent accuracy either way.Įase of use is a big draw too, with Elite throwing in a pre-installed Shimano 105 (or equivalent) pre-installed cassette so you can get riding right away. It boasts some of the best numbers out there, with the highest maximum resistance in this list, and an accuracy claim bettered only by the more expensive Tacx Neo 2T and Wahoo Kickr.

It should handle everything you can ask of a home trainer, then. The new model can now simulate gradients of up to 24 per cent, up from 18 on the Direto, while the maximum power output it can handle is 2300 watts, up from 2100. The Elite Direto XR headlines the Italian company's current range of direct-drive smart turbo trainers.
