www.dcrainmaker.com/2023/12/tacx-neo-3m-in-depth-review-motion-accuracy.html

www.dcrainmaker.com/2019/01/treadtracker-treadmill-accuracy.html

Tacx Flux Trainer In-Depth Review

www.dcrainmaker.com/2016/12/tacx-flux-trainer-depth-review.html

Elite Drivo II Smart Trainer In-Depth Review

www.dcrainmaker.com/2018/07/elite-drivo-2-ii-trainer-review.html

Tacx Flux 2 Smart Trainer (2020 Edition) In-Depth Review

www.dcrainmaker.com/2020/07/tacx-flux-2-smart-trainer-edition-review.html

In the case of simulation (aka slope) mode, the Tacx Flux 2.1 can simulate from 0% to 16% incline – which is about as high as you’d need for almost anything in Zwift, especially if you use the default Zwift “Trainer Difficulty” setting at 50%, which halves the incline.
