No, Tacx hasn’t managed to make riding your bike indoors fun but its new NEO Smart turbo trainer does look like it’ll make the experience a lot less taxing than usual (pun intended). The innovative design is claimed to be truly silent with an electronically generated road feel that’s not only more realistic than anything out there but better at simulating the agony of a real climb, too.
We’ve got one inbound so we’ll find out soon enough but here’s a look at some of the interesting features in the meantime.
Like the Wahoo Kickr, the Tacx NEO Smart is driven directly by your bicycle’s chain with cogs mounted to a built-in freehub body. There’s no rear wheel required, and the versatile Edco freehub body will accept Shimano, SRAM (non-XD) or Campagnolo cassettes.

There's no flywheel built into the system on the Tacx NEO Smart
Unlike the Kickr, though, the NEO Smart has no internal mechanical transmission whatsoever, nor is there a heavy flywheel built into the system. Instead, the mechanism is essentially one giant electronic brake.
