You can set the trainer&rsquo;s resistance precisely as required as the magnitude of this field is adjustable. The result is a highly functional, contact- and maintenance-free resistance unit.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The magnetic field is realized differently amid the various types of resistance units, causing a difference in the trainer&rsquo;s functionality and usability. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Direct drive&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The bike is placed in the direct drive trainer without its rear wheel; the resistance is applied directly to the rear axle. This causes a more realistic and user-friendly trainer. There are no transmissions causing any loss of power, ensuring a very realistic cycling feeling and accurate measurements of your speed, cadence and power. In addition, there is no wear and no slipping of the tyre; the direct drive is maintenance free and your bike is easily mounted on it.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Motor brake&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The motor brake is the most advanced resistance unit producing the most realistic cycling feeling. The resistance is calculated and generated by an electromotor. The motor can both hold back (brake) and drive the wheel or chain, enabling the simulation of a descent. It will keep spinning; just like outdoors you do not have to pedal. This downhill drive feature also enables a realistic simulation of the dead point in your pedal stroke. In addition, the motor brake is the most powerful and can generate high resistance at low speeds. This makes the motor brake especially suited for simulating steep climbs. Due to these features, Tacx trainers with a motor brake are ideally suited for training on mountain stages.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wireless motor brake&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; A wireless motor brake is an electromotor with a generator; it generates its own energy from your pedal stroke. The trainer uses this energy to communicate and produce the needed resistance. As the trainer does not require an external power source, it can be placed anywhere you like. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;As its power is generated from your movement, the trainer cannot simulate a descent. You are not pedalling, so it cannot generate any energy.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Electro brake&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; An electro brake features one row with electromagnets and one with permanent magnets, with a rotating disc in between. The resistance is set automatically by increasing or decreasing the current through the electromagnets.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Magnet brake&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The resistance is realized by permanent magnets so trainers with a magnet brake do not require power. The Booster features two rows of magnets; other basic trainers feature one row of magnets and a disc. The magnetic field increases or decreases by changing the position of the magnets, which is done manually with a lever to set the resistance. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The Satori Smart is equipped with a long-life battery to enable communication.&lt;/p&gt; " data-image="https://mk0tacxpwbcps2mf5.kinstacdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Tacx-trainers-working-principle-1920x1080px-1.jpg">Interactive Smart direct drive with electric brake</span></td> </tr> <tr class="alt"><th>Magnets</th> <td><span data-title="" data-content="" data-image="">8 Permanent ferrite magnets &amp; 8 electromagnets</span></td> </tr> <tr><th>Transmission</th> <td><span data-title="" data-content="" data-image="">None</span></td> </tr> <tr class="alt"><th>Electrical requirements</th> <td><span data-title="" data-content="" data-image="">110-240 Volt</span></td> </tr> <tr><th>Power indicator</th> <td><span data-title="" data-content="" data-image="">None</span></td> </tr> <tr class="alt"><th>Connection indicator (ANT/BT)</th> <td><span data-title="" data-content="" data-image="">2 LEDs</span></td> </tr> <tr><th>Firmware upgradable</th> <td><span data-title="" data-content="" data-image="">Yes</span></td> </tr> <tr class="alt"><th>Suitable cassettes</th> <td><span data-title="" data-content="" data-image="">Not suitable for Specialized SCS system&nbsp;</span>,&nbsp;<span data-title="" data-content="" data-image="">Shimano &amp; SRAM: 8 - 11 speed.

When you are cycling outdoors and stop pedalling, your bike does not stop rolling immediately. The same effect is seen in the dead point of your pedal stroke. The kinetic energy causing the bike to keep rolling is simulated by the trainer&rsquo;s flywheel; this is called the flywheel effect or mass inertia. The heavier the flywheel, the more realistic the cycling feeling. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Virtual flywheel&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Tacx trainers are equipped with an actual or a virtual flywheel. The best experience is achieved with an exact simulation of the rider&rsquo;s weight, which is only possible with a virtual flywheel. In this case, the trainer simulates the mass inertia instead of producing it with an actual flywheel. In contrast to the actual flywheel, the virtual flywheel can adjust the mass inertia to the circumstances; like speed, slope and weight. For example, when you ride up a mountain you will experience a different cycling feeling than when you are riding with high speed on a flat road. Therefore, the virtual flywheel is the best solution for an optimal cycling experience.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Trainers equipped with a virtual flywheel are the NEO Smart and Genius models.

This way you can use almost any training option. This is realized by using standardized wireless communication protocols: ANT+ FE-C and Bluetooth Smart open.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;ANT+ FE-C protocol&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The ANT+ FE-C protocol enables Smart trainers to communicate with third party software on desktops, bike computers and sport watches. The interactive trainers can be controlled by Tacx software, or other computer software like Zwift and the Garmin Edge 520.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We got to work directly after ANT+ launched the ANT+ FE-C protocol. The result: our indoor trainers are the first to be ANT+ FE-C certified and use the new language. ANT+ FE-C stands for &ldquo;ANT+ Fitness Equipment Control&rdquo;. Until now, trainers of various brands communicated in their own language. Therefore they did not understand each other and could not communicate. By implementing the new language &ndash; the ANT+ FE-C open profile &ndash; in trainers and software they are able to communicate and connect with each other.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Bluetooth Smart&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt; This is also called Bluetooth 4.0 and Bluetooth low energy and enables communication with smartphones, tablets and sport watches. With Bluetooth Smart the interactive trainers are controlled by Tacx apps and other apps such as TrainerRoad and Kinomap.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;After creating the ANT+ FE-C open protocol, we started creating an open protocol for Bluetooth. Smartphones and tablets can often only receive the Bluetooth signal, not the ANT+ signal. By sending the same language as the ANT+ FE-C protocol via Bluetooth, Smart trainers can also communicate with third party apps on devices that only have a Bluetooth receiver. This protocol has been created by Tacx and is available to software manufacturers, so that everybody can link a Tacx Smart trainer to the software of their choice.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Connect to multiple devices simultaneously&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;As the trainer uses both communication protocols, it can connect to several devices at the same time. For example, you can ride a Tacx Film on your tablet while reading and storing your performance data in Garmin Connect on your bike computer. This way you can keep track of your performance in your favourite apps.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Measure and receive performance data&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;All Tacx Smart trainers measure your speed, cadence and power and transmit this via ANT+ and Bluetooth Smart so that it can be received at several devices simultaneously. The interactive trainers can also receive these signals in order to adjust the resistance.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;To receive your heart rate you will need a heart rate monitor that communicates via ANT+ or Bluetooth 4.0.

You can add firmware improvements, for example for the cycling feeling or an extra feature, to the Smart trainer you are already using with the Tacx Utility app. This free app is available in the App store and on Google Play. After installing the app you can test whether there is a firmware update available and if yes, directly upgrade your trainer.

This is perfect for straightforward, short training as you simply get on and start riding.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;As soon as you start pedalling the trainer recognizes it is not connected and calculates the needed resistance for a flat road.
