To use the indoor trainer you do not need a power connection. A strong magnetic brake unit allows you to increase or decrease the resistance. This is controlled with a lever that is mounted on the handlebars of the bike. The setup of the bike is very easy — with two simple steps you are ready for your indoor training experience.

Effective Training on the turbo trainer: the Boost from Tacx

The Boost is easy to install and is also particularly safe and quiet, as it is the only Basic Trainer with a closed brake unit. It’s also the most powerful basic trainer and can produce high resistance at low speeds. When you move the lever on the handlebar to the highest position, a lot of energy is needed and you move forward slowly, just like on a steep incline. This makes the Boost also very suitable for power training.

The Boost has a flywheel that gives you a realistic pedal stroke and a realistic road feel. The Boost is designed with a closed brake unit, which makes it extremely quiet. The Tacx Boost has an integrated brake with flywheel. This magnetic braking system with eight permanent magnets offers a lot of performance: This magnetic braking system with eight permanent magnets guarantees that even high wattages and low speeds can be pedaled in your own living room.

Garmin’s Speed Sensor 2 is quick to install and easy to maintain. Magnets or other exposed parts are no longer required. It can easily be moved between bikes and attaches to the hub of the rear wheel. Once set up, you’ll get accurate speed and distance at all times — even without a Garmin device. ANT+ and Bluetooth® Low Energy technology connect the sensor to your used device and app.

Tacx Trainer Technology

Manual resistance control
The Boost is controlled by a lever on your steer, allowing you to set the resistance as required. The higher the position, the more resistance.

Silence boost
The Boost has a closed resistance unit, which highly reduces noise.

Intervals & power workouts
The powerful magnetic brake of the Boost enables intense interval sessions and power based workouts.

Realistic pedal stroke
The Boost features an actual flywheel which generates a realistic riding feel.

Click ‘n ride: super easy and super stable
The bike is fixed in the trainer easily by two simple clicks.

Despite a small footprint (675 x 650mm) a stable ride is given for your indoor cycling training. The multifunctional front wheel support guarantees a natural wheel position and also serves as a handle to transport the trainer.Unique dual material roller
The roll that places the resistance on your rear wheel is made from two materials: a hardened steel sleeve with a soft core of elastogel. The steel sleeve prevents wear of the trainer, while the elastogel aborbs vibrations to reduce noise.

Virtual power
Train with Tacx Training App, Zwift, TrainerRoad or other apps! All you need is the Garmin Speed Sensor 2! This transmits your speed wirelessly via ANT+ or Bluetooth Smart to your device, so you can also use these training applications with a basic trainer. You can track your ridden distance this way as well.

Rotating disc and magnetic brake
The resistance is generated by permanent magnets. Trainers with magnetic brakes therefore do not need electric power. The Boost has two rows of magnets, the strength of the magnetic field is adjusted by changing the position of the magnets to adjust the distance to the disc. This adjustment is done manually in 10 steps by the control lever. The 1.6kg flywheel provides all the possibilities for good indoor training.
