Best Bike Trainer

This bike trainer is amazing, the flywheel is super realistic and it is not so heavy that you are unable to set up and tear down your garage set up. Very easy to get your bike attached. You will need to purchase your own cassette and the mounting tools to attach to the trainer. Tacx is a good system but sometimes the laptop software is glitchy. The simulated road feel is ok, a nice touch but not something that is utilized if you are using garmin workout plans only during simulated rides

Great Indoor Option For Riding

I bought the trainer this winter to try and step up my triathlon game in the off season. Both me and wife wife used it on my carbon road bike and her carbon tri bike. We used a new Shimano 10 speed cassette on the trainer for both my Shimano set and her SRAM set, no issues with compatibility. I would suggest you use the same chain oil/wax to not have any cross contamination using differing lubrication. As for function. I tried to use the Trax Trainer software and the Garmin Connect Software through my watch (the Trax software does sync with garmin connect, but not for battery level or a couple of other daily measurements). Leaving both workouts on there gets all the data and it mostly doesn't allow excess milage, but I have seen it show up in a couple spots twice. They could improve on that. As for the Tacx software. The routes are good, but not as interactive as the peloton or other apps out there. Though I've climbed some pretty gnalry passes throughout the word now using it. I think that's the best part about the app, the climbing portions. It also keeps it less boring, but also really easy to over train if you're not careful. I might try interfacing it with some other software next winter but for now I'll use the nice clear roads through the summer and fall months.

Awesome Sauce

This thing is great. Easy to set up and sync to your devices. Just make sure you get a second cassette to dedicate to training.

Trax Neo T2 Smart Trainer

Bought this last week, Came fast and is what I wanted. Thing is it didn’t come with the cassette as shown. Can’t use it without it. Hoping the store can help me with this.

There's no better trainer. Very smooth and accurate. Looking forward to upgrade to the motion plates. Only gripe is the provided skewer seems to be a little finicky, but I may have a defective one... The under lights make up for it!
