TACX NEO 2T SMART TRAINER

Experience the pinnacle of indoor cycling with the Garmin Tacx NEO 2T Smart Trainer, available at Arvada Triathlon Company! This flagship direct-drive smart trainer delivers an incredibly realistic ride feel, making it the top choice for triathletes, road cyclists, and endurance athletes training indoors. With its redesigned motor for enhanced power during sprints and climbs, the NEO 2T is remarkably quiet—your drivetrain will be the loudest part—while providing precise data and immersive features that blur the line between virtual and outdoor riding.

The NEO 2T uses 32 neodymium magnets for electromagnetic resistance, simulating up to 25% gradients and 2,200 watts of power with ±1% accuracy—no calibration needed. It features dynamic inertia for natural momentum, descent simulation for freewheeling downhill, and Road Feel to vibrate on cobblestones or gravel in apps like Zwift. Standalone mode simulates flat roads without power, and it's compatible with ANT+ FE-C, Bluetooth, and popular platforms like Zwift, TrainerRoad, and Tacx. Weighing 21.5kg with foldable legs, it supports wide axle compatibility (130/135/142/148mm) and runs plugged in or via generated power. Whether prepping for a triathlon or winter base miles, the NEO 2T turns every session into a hyper-realistic adventure.
