Tacx Blue Twist Indoor Trainer

The Tacx Blue Twist Indoor Trainer has the same resistance unit as the Blue Matic, but does not have a handlebar resistance lever. You manually set the resistance, selecting one of the seven positions using a switch on the brake and this gives you a maximum resistance of 700 Watts. Train with the Tacx Training app, Tacx Cycling app, Zwift or TrainerRoad on the basis of virtual power using the Tacx speed and cadence sensor! This transmits your speed and cadence wirelessly via ANT+ or Bluetooth Smart to your tablet or smartphone, so you can also use these popular training applications with a basic trainer. This indoor trainer is designed to be smooth and silent, making it ideal for the living room or in apartments. Tacx have designed the 1.2kg flywheel to give you a very realistic riding experience and it is also built to last, ready to handle thousands of indoor kilometres. The Tacx Blue Twist Indoor Trainer bring all of the reliable and high quality features Tacx is known for, at a modest price.

Features

Smooth and Silent: Blue Twist features a sturdy roll core with soft plastic to absorb vibrations. This dramatically reduces noise, so you can ride without disturbing others nearby.

Realistic Riding Experience: The 2.64 lb (1.2 kg) flywheel is able to replicate a mass inertial effect of 17.6 lbs (8 kg), giving you the feel of riding outdoors.

Built To Last: No matter how intense your workout, this bike trainer is stable and built to last. It securely locks your bike into place with two easy clicks, so you can ride hard and know you’re not going anywhere. The Blue Twist trainer also features a single roll made from a hardened steel sleeve to prevent wear.

Virtual Power:  With the addition of the Tacx speed and cadence sensor, you can train with popular apps — based on virtual power — such as Zwift, TrainerRoad and Tacx software. The sensor transmits your speed and cadence wirelessly to your compatible smartphone, tablet or computer.
