Aren’t they selling it yet? Best Regards, I ordered in late November… . And is in fact the same issue as seen on the Tacx NEO 2T. They’re sending end of year, but I could also see that slipping too (since I haven’t even seen a prototype of it, or renders either). Notify me when back in … I got the trainer recommendations guide done last night- so this is next. colour: universal. They’re qute solid and very quiet. What pisses me off more and more is that after 3 years of delays the NeoBike seems to have too many issues “by design”. Also going to take apart a usb cable and measure with a multimeter. • 1 month’s subscription to Tacx Premium software. Can it connect to the polar Vantage v? Iv had one on order from the start of year. Vector 3’s are rechargeable? Ok, thanks for the info! Thanks for the update Ray! I had hoped that the early reports of breaking belts were down to something that Garmin/Tacx would have now corrected, but it seems like it’s still a thing. Not easily, from what I can tell without unwrapping the bars. Utility app you can change fan options Tredz continue to be excellent and have offered a refund or replacement, but the trouble is there’s no dealer stock, UK orders are being direct shipped by the importers and they’re reliant on Tacx/Garmin, so I’ve got no idea how long I’m going to be waiting. I am really confused with this “weight setting”. Did you contact Tacx Support to claim the exchange? Min collapsible length: ~116cm (front feet to back feet, with front handlebars removed – removing the front handlebars takes 5-7 seconds, putting them back takes 15-20 seconds inclusive of plugging back in the cable) You can see in that video that’s including the iPad on there too, as well as fans. I also replied on several occasions chasing up a response to no avail. cobblestones), Support rolldown procedure (for wheel based), Supports ANT+ FE-C (Trainer Control Standard), Supports Bluetooth Smart FTMS (Trainer Control Standard), Supports Multiple Concurrent Bluetooth connections, Can customize shifting (Shimano/SRAM/Campagnolo). If you're shopping for the Tacx NEO Bike Smart or any other accessory items, please consider using the affiliate links below! . They worked and the buttons do click slightly, which is nice. So basically the bike is trying to force you to pedal 100W and when you in-/decrease cadence it must adjust the way it achieves it. It seems that you both have questions of the new NEO internals, either in the 2T or on the Bike, but perhaps not a clear agreement. Many readers stumble into my website in search of information on the latest and greatest sports tech products. Oh, and before you ask why I haven’t included some products into the above – here’s the quick and dirty answers: Peloton Bike: It’s not a ‘smart’ bike in the sense of the above, it doesn’t allow you to set a specific power level (it does tell you the current power level). I suspect you meant legit hardware issue. As far as overall performance, I guess I’m lucky as I’ve had zero slip, no overheating, and pedaling is butter smooth and certainly not notchy by any sense of the word. I have ordered the bike again (probably for the fifth time), now it seems it is really comming. Still, there’s got to be something Tacx can do better here – after all there’s plenty of motorbikes that use drive belts and I’m guessing they push out a tad more power with a lot more shock-loading than my legs do. There is a report that 5,3 is OK. My wife is 162 cm and she does fit on the Bike just fine, saddle still could go a lot lower (she is around the 6-7 marking). I hoped Garmin Support (UK) might come to my rescue, but they referred me to my retailer (Tredz). I don’t have to worry about derailleur adjustments or tire wear, just get on and ride. This lockdown messes with your head! How long did it take from your order till you received your Tacx neo bike smart? You save 8%. With no “display models” available anywhere to try out on, this could involve taking an (expensive!) I have issues with the seat adjustment rail. A bit surprised that there was no anti-seize on the bolt, let alone grease on the spline. Can anyone tell me whether the handlebar can be swapped with my preferred one? the seatpost isn’t in one line with the middle of the bracket for example. Oh wait, and for lack of anywhere else to stick it – I haven’t seen any cadence issues at all. I chatted with Garmin support to ask them about the ERG fix and they said it was high priority but they didn’t have an ETA for it. I had to chat with Garmin and they sent me very swiftly a manual how to open the fan chassis (simply turn it anti clockwise) and then you can turn around the fans yourself. – I connect N2T Speed sensor via ANT+ (as normal SPD/CAD sensor) to get riden dist. I seem to have got one of the trainers with the grinding noise- A quick google says its fixable- but how annoying. None of it is hard, it’s just following the instructions. Well, I think/suspect the power meter accuracy is actually quite good and solid – but it’s being slightly overshadowed by two issues that make it harder to see that. The actual apps don’t typically much matter, but rather the use cases are different. The bike seems to have a common problem with the drive belt snapping. If I bought something like this or the Kickr Bike it would have to live in an outbuilding where I would be looking to implement some kind of theft deterrent. One thing is fairly certain – these bikes are not aimed at cash-strapped enthusiasts who don’t have a truly dedicated training space at their disposal. Thanks – interesting. It has taken me dragging this issue into the limelight to move this forwards which is very disappointing for an issue first raised in February this year. The communication with Tacx is horrible. I’ll check again, I know they were working on that. Excellent review as always. Thank you Ray for all your work and info. Connect NEO Bike Smart to multiple devices simultaneously, so you can enjoy Tacx software and track your performance on your Garmin bike computer at the same time. But I can’t recommend anyone go out and buy one though. Notify me when back in stock. Take Clever Training or other larger retailers for example – they’ll pre-order all the units they think they need for the first 3-5 months of a product’s life cycle. Many thanks cheers guys. Actually Polar does pair with Neo Bike but the power readings just are not correct. If you are willing to put a nice road bike on the Neo Turbo and handle the maintenance of your bike then maybe that is the way to go, but we didn’t want to deal with using an outdoor bike indoors. If they at least had different attitude when it comes to retours and replacements… So far I am satisfied with the purchase. This is the only tacx product, so I don’t think I mixed up the cords. Brand new bike. So I have to be patient until someone stocks any of the bikes here in NZ I suppose. The one thing I was hoping for from reviewers of the new batch of smart bike was including TT/tri setup (even with 3rd party bolt on bars) as this is a viable use-case scenario and TT/tri is a large share of the market that I would assume these manufacturers are going after. My rough understanding of the lack of Zwift road-feel issue is that Zwift isn’t correctly seeing the Neo 2T as a NEO in certain protocols. Full disclaimer I’m an acoustics nerd, and the main raison I’d buy this vs a trainer is lower noise and vibration towards neighbors , Yeah, I hear the resonance you’re hearing, but it’s definitely not what it sounds like in person. $4,999.00. Any chance you’ve somehow paired as a power meter, and not as a smart trainer? 3. If you have a VPN with Spanish site, it has 3D pics and pricing. I have ridden cool downs at 80W and the average power and the target do match. However, if I suffer another breakage and find myself looking at weeks out of action then I’m seriously going to have to consider the options. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the Wattbike, especially for the price. 2) Double-check that you’re plugged in. I was determined to get neo bike, but after this review I am considering wattbike since it seems it would be enough for us considering the price difference. Nothing really stands out in the comparison. Only complaint: The handlebar tape is awful . I am most concerned about ERG-mode and the notchy feeling I sometimes get when pedalling. Received Bike from Clever on Tuesday. Only complaint of my wife, now that Erg mode is mostly fine, are the uncomfortable grips/hoods – still not sure why Tacx decided against the obvious use of shimano or sram style hoods (similar to the kickr bike). I’m sure they’re come in useful one day, life most of the other stuff that fills up half my garage. It could be really helpful for me in order to see how a NB would fit into my current setup with fans on a shelve, monitor height etc. The only real advantage would be the adjustability in a multi-user scenario, where simple saddle up-down wouldn’t do. I think I was told I was Tredz’s first pre-order. How often should it be serviced? EV, can I ask you to measure how high the seat is placed above ground? Also seeing my wattage output higher than programmed in Zwift in ERG mode (much more steady at higher wattage) but wondering if that is not a combination of me, the trainer, and the program. I have attached a video that I took using TrainerRoad and as you can see the target wattage is 92 watts and no matter what the cadence or effort the actual wattage is off by at least a factor of 17-20 watts or more. I am very happy. It seems there was some “increased watt creep” that eventually put me in the ERG death spiral. thanks I’m just shy of 6’4. No, my main reason is that my line in the sand is basically whether or not a bike supports ANT+ FE-C & Bluetooth Smart FTMS. I am 5’8 and she is 5’1 (i.e. I have seen all the rocker plate stuff. Daughter’s recovery zones were around 90 and it seemed to work ok, but she wasn’t trying to maintain high cadence. I’ve done a lot of testing with it. Not a lot of other users out there though that I noticed. But it’s great. We knew going in that you cannot get a true outdoor experience indoors but training on the Neo Bike with the apps (Tacx trainer and Zwift) is a good very experience. This smart trainer is compatible with most popular applications such as Tacx, TrainerRoad and Zwift. However, for those odd ducks like me installing power meter pedals on the Tacx bike, ensuring the pedals are absolutely perfectly aligned for power meter testing/comparison is tricky. Thank you. They seem to have bikes available at least for replacements of faulty units here in the US. I’m not getting any at the moment. And that will probably settle down over time. This is supposed to be a HIGH END UNIT and so it should work like one. Not exactly the same can be said about NeoBike…. Can’t imagine that the bike puts more pressure on a belt than does a fan belt in a car but I may be wrong about that……….. It’s adjustable and is surprisingly secure. Lastly, in the case of the NEO Smart bike, I have a media loaner. Oh, and you can sign-up for the newsletter here! With the Tacx Bike (and the Tacx NEO 2/2T), this is actually measured though each time your leg passes by the frame of the bike, uses magnets to detect the crank arm. Keep up the good work, you are my go to site to follow and select new kit! I should have hung onto the box. Is there anything like this on the polar, or are you referring to a one-time calibration that you have to go through on initial pairing? Earlier this year, the Tacx Neo Bike got a price hike from $4k CAD to $4.5k CAD here in Canada. Next, grab your seat and slide it onto the bike: Then, you’re gonna have two bolts of sorts which you place one on the seat forward/back rail, and one up front. Cheers. just got an email that my tacx is delayed till Dec 6th.

I don’t bother with any of the other setting on the bike like road feel and cobbles it my be something to do with this which could be a software issues. My wife will also use the bike. The forums are a great place to get more community support for an idea and attention from the dev team. They have confirmed to me last week that this charge will be £650. Per the mention of grinding in some of the posts, for the first ten seconds or so I rode it last night, it sounded like there was a clicking in the housing, both while pedaling and when I let it spin down. I would try it out and see. Timestamp: 1:08. This is a less glamorous but completely functional version of what Wahoo has done with their KICKR Bike configuration app functionality, and allows you to specify things like the number of chainrings you want in a ‘virtual gearing’, as well as the exact chainring and cassette specifications: The difference here between Tacx and Wahoo is more around shifting itself, whereby Wahoo can replicate SRAM eTAP, Shimano Di2, and Campagnolo. So my question- can you put your wife on this and the Kickr bike and see how she fits on both?
