This is Tacx’s third generation of their top-of-the-line NEO, the NEO 2T. The NEO line has always offered some unique features that help it stand out from the pack, including simulation of road surfaces such as cobblestones or gravel, built-in pedal stroke analysis, and is the only trainer on the market that will actually simulate a descent.

On the ascent, it will simulate up to a 25% grade, and can produce a maximum of 2500 watts of resistance.

In terms of accuracy, the NEO 2T is amongst the top performers in that category with a +- 1% rating even though you’ll never need to calibrate it.

It comes with a front wheel block, quick releases for your road and off-road bikes and is compatible with all the main players Zwift, TrainerRoad, Sufferfest and Rouvy.
