For hardcore cyclists, nothing quite beats roaming the open road. But for days when time and weather become an issue, indoor cycling is no doubt the next best thing. And Garmin has just provided a high-tech solution with its new Tacx NEO 3M.
As far as indoor cycling trainers go, the Tacx NEO 3M is undoubtedly impressive. As its most accurate and powerful direct-drive trainer yet, Garmin claims it takes riding performance to the next level. The indoor smart trainer boasts multidirectional movement with integrated motion plates to create a comfortable and realistic ride.
Next Level Indoor Cycling Experience
A virtual flywheel simulates the feeling of riding on different road types like cobblestone and gravel.
The Tacx NEO 3M also builds on its innovative electromagnetic motor braking system to deliver a virtual and silent flywheel. This innovative system allows cyclists to experience the feeling of riding on different road types and even downhill. The indoor cycling trainer can also deliver simulated inclines (up to 25%) for those looking to crush their climbs.
As it seamlessly integrates with the Tacx Training app, cyclists can also complete training plan workouts. It offers access to virtual GroupRides, training rides with the pros and immersive rides from around the globe.
“Our goal is to make indoor training as realistic to their outdoor rides as possible and we’re proud to do just that with the introduction of the Tacx NEO 3M,” explains Scoppen Lin, Assistant General Manager, Garmin Asia. “Now, cyclists can take advantage of features and technology they won’t be able to find anywhere else and, as a result, level-up their training like never before.”
Smart integration with the Tacx Training and other training and virtual riding platforms helps users to elevate their indoor workout.
With its compact and convenient set-up, the Tacx NEO 3M is just what the doctor ordered for hardcore cyclists. It’s also not too shabby of a kit for those looking to elevate their home gym.
With a suggested retail price of just under RM10,000, the Garmin indoor trainer ships with a built-in LED indicator that changes colours to show how hard a cyclist is pushing. Owners can also ride without plugging the trainer in and a new integrated handle makes for easier transportation as well.
