Tacx flux s smart bike trainer - Garmin Tacx Flux S Smart Bike Trainer

Great smart trainer at a lower price point than the top shelf versions. I was having trouble connecting bluetooth until realizing I needed to use the Garmin Ant+ usb dongle with Windows 10, once installing the Ant+ connection has been perfect. It comes with a 30day Tacx trial, and a ~7day Zwift trial to try them out which is sweet. The Tacx app has hyper realistic terrain, direct correlation with changes in grade, and real pro road race courses in the EU. Zwift has lame graphics, but the sociological encouragement to ride hard with all the other people riding live on the app, and training programs/workouts which are great. The flywheel is a little light, however with race gearing of 11-23 cassette and 39-53 crank it is great for both ~12% climbs on Tacx courses, and rolling flats. Connectivity to the apps is simple, Zwift is automatic, however sometimes I have to toggle Bluetooth on/off for the trainer to connect to the Garmin app, definitely get the Ant+ antenna right off the bat (~29$ on Amazon). Excellent for staying in shape during winter
