Tacx Virtual Reality Trainers
Tacx Virtual Trainers are a pleasure to use.

Fortius and i-Magic - the Virtual Reality trainers for a new dimension in indoor training. Turn on your PC, * get on your bike and discover all the virtual possibilities. Ride through interactive worlds and play the lead in your own private race.

With Real Life Videos ** you can ride Virtual Reality terrains including MTB courses with jumps and sensational corners, or you can discover trails and roads you would never have been able to find on your own thanks to GPS data from 3D maps on Google Earth™.

Choose from the Fortius Multiplayer, the Fortius and the i-Magic. All three trainers use the same basic software varying in the the braking system used.

More than twenty films of legendary stages and cycling classics are available for the Tacx VR trainers. Your cycling speed impacts on the speed of the film and when riding 'uphill' in the film you'lll experience so much resistance from the brake that the incline is actually tangible. With the optional VR steering frame you can steer left or right to make the riding experience even more dynamic.

We can't do justice to this amazing system in the space available here so visit the Tacx VR web site to find out more, or call at the shop to try out the i-Magic demo system. As an accredited Tacx test centre we also stock Tacx trainer accessories including the floor mat, steering frame, sweat covers, and hard wearing trainer tyres.

See other Tacx products at: www.tacx.com

* Windows PCs only. See recommended system resources on the Tacx VR web site.
** A short Real Life Video demo is included with the basic software. Over 20 other courses are available to purchase on DVD.
