You want more. You want progress but most of all you want to cycle better, further and faster. You know you have to focus your training, not simply "pile up" kilometres. With efficient training, you can make tremendous progress. The key word is power. And power means training with an ergometer.
Power-focused training, combined with the use of pulse monitors, is the ideal way to improve physical fitness and keep in top shape. The proof of the proposition can be found in the resounding victories scored by international cycling teams that follow this modern method of training. Why shouldn't this method apply to you?
Power-focused training
Tacx, the home-trainer expert, has now developed three advanced ergotrainers with computer-driven power measuring: The Tacx Basic, the Excel and the Grand Excel with built-in data logger. They now offer you the same training potential as the professionals. Kilometre chasing is out and watts are in. Power training (watts) is directed and efficient. It's the only way to improve your performance. |

Program your own trip
Create your own trip! Ride a hill, conquer a steep mountain, pedal smoothly on flat surface, combine standing on your pedals with sitting on the saddle. Focused training gives you incredible power and will teach you how to find the champion in yourself. Training will be fun and getting your strength under control will be a pleasurable challenge. The Basic, Excel and Grand Excel are therefore unmissible for real bicycle freaks!!!

The Cosmos is the first Trainer to have a Colour LCD screen and a plug in memory card. The new patented brake unit actually drives the rear wheel to simulate descents, while the new braking system enables extra arduous training. Possible resistance of more than 1,000 Watts at low speeds is possible. Every training program can be downloaded onto any PC to allow the user to review and analyze the data. There is a new version of the Analyzer Software for analyzing training programs on the PC. Complete with logbooks, diaries and summaries of different training sessions. The Cosmos also comes with Skyliner front wheel support.
Your heart rate is your calibration point. The heartrate measurement determines the amount of resistance you have and how well you can sprint. Your own heart rate will indicate what your best chances are on any particular day and how your physical fitness has progressed. Power-orientated training, combined with a heart-rate meter, is the ideal way to improve and maintain physical fitness. With a program in Watts, the computer will adjust the resistance on the rolling cylinder so that you continually pedal according to your own power setting. If you alter or shift the pedalling frequency, the computer will immediately correct the resistance on the rolling cylinder. With a training program in gradient resistance, you can program the computer to make the correct calculations in the resistance in 25 steps. You can also simulate the resistance that you encounter outdoors..
Brake Calibration
The precision of the power measurement depends on such things as the resistance of the brake unit roller against the rear tire, for example, and on the tire’s air pressure. In order to obtain a precise power measurement, you can calibrate the Cosmos, Flow and the Fortius in a matter of seconds.

The Cosmos comes with pre-set menus and Analyzer software. This allows you to easily set the training programs and user data. If you wish, you can exchange this data with your coach or friends via the internet. Via the USB connection, you can send your data to the Cosmos computer so that you can run your training programs on your stand-alone, wherever you want. During each training session, the Cosmos computer records all information every 2, 5 or 10 seconds. When you transfer the data back to your PC, you can view your scores via the Analyser software. Your performance will be easy to read in graphs and tables. The Cosmos computer has a large ultramodern, full colour display (3.8 inches) with backlighting shows all the training programs brightly and clearly, including related information.

With the CycleForce Flow, Tacx announces the start of a new generation of ergotrainers. This trainer is the result of knowledge and inspiration, combined with innovation. Heart rate, power; speed and pedalling frequency are measured and visualized on the modern display of the Flow computer. These data provide an important instrument for targeting and improving physical fitness, efficiently - resulting in optimum performance.
During development much attention focused on the information that appears on the display. The brake indicator, for example, shows brake performance in graphic form. A histogram shows the slope, enabling the cyclist to view the settings at a glance. Moreover, you can select the training information you want to display. You can even clalibtrate the Flow to ensure accurate power measurements at all times. Flow comes with a matching colour Skyliner front wheel support.
Suitable for mountain, racing and hybrid bikes with wheel diameters 610 to 720 mm. |

The world’s first wireless ergotrainer
The Bushido is the newest ergotrainer by Tacx and by far the most advanced available today. Its technically revolutionary design only goes to confirm why Tacx leads the way in the world of trainers. The Bushido is entirely wireless, you do not need to plug it into the grid. Demanding cyclists like you can now ride wherever they want in the world, indoors and outdoors.
But that is not all there is to the Bushido. Not only will the handlebar-mounted computer show you all the necessary information (power, heart rate, cadence, speed, time, etc.) on its graphic display, it also features capacitive keys that will react to the energy from your fingers. Operation is stunningly easy; the menus have been designed such that you can start at once.If you are looking for more and personalize the Bushido with your own training programs and user information than of course you can too. It goes without saying that the sturdy frame stands firmly on any surface or floor. The Bushido also has a very powerful braking system with a flywheel that is entirely integrated into the shell. The Bushido is equipped with led lamps. If you put out more power the red LED lamps will light up more brightly; if you are riding at a lower intensity the green LED lamps will have the upper hand. This is a fun way of visualizing your performance.
.
The Bushido combines top notch technology and ditto design. Because there are no cables, set-up will take just 30 seconds. With the Bushido it is even possible to do a pre-programmed warm-up work out only minutes before the start of your race. There is no need for a power socket and you can put the Bushido where ever you like.
With the Tacx Trainer software from the Upgrade PC Bushido, you will have the countless possibilities of the Tacx Virtual Reality trainers at your disposal and you will be able to ride routes with Google Earth.
Software Upgrade PC Bushido
The Upgrade PC Bushido consists of the Tacx Trainer software and an ANT USB stick which enables you to connect the trainer wirelessly to the PC. This will enable you to transfer your performance to the PC in order to analyse them. A truly hi-tech aspect is the LIVE MODE function with which you turn the Bushido into a wireless VR trainer.
