I’m Marcus, your host here at Garmin’s training video series.
We all know that training is hard work.
And there are days when riding outside is neither convenient nor possible, due to the weather, the traffic,
or the lack of time to get a good ride in.
When you train indoors, you demand a trainer that feels like you’re riding outdoors – and not on a spin bike.
Well, let me introduce you to a trainer that’s built bigger and stronger for a better ride - the Garmin Tacx - Flux 2 Smart Trainer.
Compared to its predecessor, the Flux 2 is equipped with a bigger and stronger resistance unit and a heavier flywheel,
resulting in a wider simulation range, better ride feel, and a more accurate power measurement.
The bigger flywheel increases the mass inertia effect,
which ensures an improvement in ride feel and makes every pedal stroke very smooth– making your indoor ride feel like an outdoor ride.
No matter when you ride, you need a trainer that can keep up and hold up to the paces you’re going to put it through.
So, with the bigger and stronger resistance unit,
the Flux 2 has a maximum resistance of up to 2,000 watts for the most explosive sprints.
Now that’s enough for even the strongest riders.
And you can get the most out of your intense workouts by training on realistic,
simulated climbs up to a 16% gradient, even at low speeds.
We’ve heard from our customers that were worried about waking up their household because of how loud some trainers are.
Well, the Flux 2 is a direct-drive trainer that’s designed to bring vibration and noise levels to the absolute minimum,
resulting in one of the most silent flywheel-equipped bike trainers available.
Now you may be thinking, there’s no need to worry about how quiet it is if my bike doesn’t fit on it.
Well, we understand your concerns.
Compared to the previous model, we redesigned the exterior and created more space for the derailleur,
and also made it compatible with long cage derailleurs.
To top that off, we’ve supplied the Flux 2 with additional axle adapters, so the axle compatibility significantly increased.
Right out of the box, this direct drive trainer is compatible with 142x12mm and 148x12mm axles.
When you’re riding on a trainer it can get boring looking at the same wall for hours on end, feeling like you’re going nowhere.
But with the Flux 2, that realistic ride we’ve been talking about gets even better - since it’s fully connected.
With smart technology that communicates via ANT +, and Bluetooth,
it’s compatible with a number of popular training apps such as the Tacx Training app, TrainerRoad, and Zwift.
The Tacx Training app gives you the best virtual cycling experience and allows you to train to your fitness level
and work towards your goals with a variety of subscription options available.
The free subscription includes features such as:
Creating workouts, Free Cycling, Data Analysis, Dashboard Stats, Data Export, and Following Friends.
Upgrading to the Premium Subscription allows you to take advantage of all of the same great features of the free plan,
plus you’ll get over 150 Real Life Videos, GPS Data Import, 3D GPS Workouts, and Structured Training Plans.
And with the Premium HD subscription, you’ll get all of the same great features as the Premium Subscription,
plus High Definition videos.
Both the Premium and Premium HD subscriptions are offered for either a monthly or annual fee,
so go ahead and pick the plan that will help you achieve your goals and train your way.
Now you can ride anywhere in the world from the comfort of your own pain cave.
From the rush of riding the steep hills of the Alps like the pro’s do,
to the breath-taking tours of Rome and France.
The Flux 2 has everything you need for an enjoyable and efficient indoor training session.
So, don’t wait for the right conditions outside. Train your way – with the Garmin Tacx - Flux 2.
