What's all this rain about? It must mean Turbo Time – time to get your bike in out of the rain and ride in the virtual world of Tacx. Whether you want an easy ride through rolling terrain or to do specific training routines there is a Tacx training system to suit you.
Prices start at £149.99 for the Speedmatic with a 1 kg magnetic flywheel offering 10 levels of resistance up to a maximum power output of 750 watts.
Further up the range offers an even more realistic ride experience with increased resistance, greater comfort and programmable workouts leading to the ultimate Genius Multiplayer at £1,349.99 – a completely wireless system with ANT™ technology allowing a quick and easy setup. Fit the rear wheel of your bike in the wide-foot trainer frame, sit the front wheel on the Black Track Steering Frame and get on your bike.
With the Multiplayer license you can race against others in real-time via the internet or a local network. Choose your own route in Google Earth or record your own rides by GPS and import the track into the Tacx Trainer Software and invite your friends to try them. Ride your favourite training rides again and again – pushing yourself a little harder each time or immerse yourself in the virtual reality world creating your own avatar.
There are over 30 different virtual reality videos to ride; view an example on Tacx RLV's YouTube channel which has varied terrain from rolling countryside to steep mountain passes, technical off-road trails to virtual city tours. *

The Zooom
is a tried and tested way of getting
a child onto two wheels without stabilisers.

old approx.
The simple design with
no pedals ensures no distractions
and intuitive balance.
Children learn faster, ride more confidently
and are less likely to experience any 'taking
off the stabilisers' wobbles.

Bikes page for further details and pictures.
