![]() ![]() By using apps you can virtually cycle up the Alpe d'Huez, or sprint against cyclists on the other side of the world.The trainer can also be used as a stand-alone unit. Indoor training should never have to be boring again. The ANT+ FE-C protocol allows you to train with both the Tacx apps and those made by third parties such as Zwift and TrainerRoad. The Flux Smart uses ANT+ and Bluetooth Smart to communicate with other devices, making it compatible with smartphones, tablets, and (cycling)computers. This results in a very quiet turbo trainer. In order to reduce the noise, all parts of the Tacx Flux Smart have been selected as carefully as possible. That way, every climb is imitated for a realistic climbing experience. Thanks to the highly reactive Smart-electronics and the 7 kg flywheel, any fluctuations in resistance are instantly transferred to your legs. The The Tacx Flux is the little brother of the Tacx Flux 2 Smart T2980. That’s about it.The Tacx Flux Smart T2900 is a compact and realistic interactive direct-drive trainer that gives you a realistic feel of cycling. € 789 at Amazon € 799 at Garmin € 761 at Wiggle € 649 at Amazon £ 599 at Garmin € 599 at Wiggle But looking at the Flux S, that’s a very good entry level trainer and the Flux 2 a mid-level and Tacx includes 142mm & 148mm adapters with the Flux 2. ![]() If you are looking for an affordable trainer but want something that can fold up a bit more, maybe think of Wahoo KICKR Core which is quieter than the Flux 2, had more connectivity, but a slightly lower max wattage (1800) and goes for the same price as the Flux 2. Zwiftīoth trainers send your speed, cadence and power over bluetooth and therefore, there is no difference in using either for Zwift, apart from their technical capabilities, noise, etc. ![]() Which makes sense as its fly wheel is heavier. Both give a good road feel for the mid-range price segment, with a slightly better experience on the Flux 2. But this doesn’t really work like this for the Flux trainers. Generally speaking, the heavier the better. One big factor in ‘road feel’ is the fly wheel weight. To hear a comparison it’s best to have a look at DC Rainmakers video. In terms of sound difference between the Flux trainers, the Flux 2 is slightly quieter. If you are looking for something ‘silent’ then have a look at the KICKR Core or Neo 2T. In terms of the noise produced, these trainers are not the quietest. For an entry level trainer, the S will be fine for you. The Wattage floor lies somewhere at ~100 for the Flux S and ~90 for the Flux 2. And another factor is the minumum wattage a trainer can give. Because one issue with trainers is that they actually don’t do 10% when Zwift says 10%, it’s less. While these numbers seem impressive, it doesn’t mean you can actually achieve this. As for reference, here are some well know climbs and their steepest bits: If you really want to train for some serious climbing it can fall short. Compaired to the Flux 2 and the competition. So for me, the S would be enough for training. I also died about three times during that test. I pushed this out during a test on a wattbike. However! This was my 1 second absolute peak. So the Flux S would not have been sufficient. But I’m a big guy (6’6 & 195lbs) and I rode a lot. Now, many years ago, I could put out about 1600 Watts. That number is enough for a professional, maybe not Chris Hoy. The best way to compare this is always a table, and then I’ll explain later for the differences why or when they matter. The only notable difference is the S is a 2 and the feet are Tacx Blue on the Flux 2.īecause the form factor, the experiences are almost identical, the real difference lies in the numbers. The Tacx Flux S on the left and Flux 2 on the right. The only thing you’ll have to do is assemble the legs get get going. While the outside doesn’t really matter because the Flux series is almost identical. ![]() It’s not a big difference, so we’ll be ready quickly. So in this article I’ll simply explain the differences between the Flux 2 and Flux S so you can decide which is best suitable for you. When you’re new to this, there might be too many options. With almost everybody stuck at home, all eyes are on trainers. ![]()
