Garmin Tacx® T2980 FLUX 2 Smart Direct Drive Trainer
Quietest turbo trainer with flywheel: the Tacx® FLUX 2 Smart from Garmin
The FLUX S's redesigned internal mechanics have improved the driving experience and result in a reliable and consistent performance measurement. It measures your power accurately within 2.5%. Like the previous FLUX Smart, this trainer is designed to reduce vibration and noise to a minimum. This has resulted in the quietest flywheel-equipped trainer.The FLUX 2 Smart connects wirelessly via ANT + (FE-C) and Bluetooth Smart so you can connect to your favorite applications like Tacx Apps and Zwift. The intelligent electronics of this bicycle trainer also allow you to train independently and without software connections. The resistance follows a progressive performance curve, corresponding to riding on a flat road. Acceleration means an increase in resistance.
Intuitive LEDs on the side of the FLUX 2 Smart indicate when the trainer is powered and connected to a device via ANT + or Bluetooth. With the Tacx Utility App, you can easily upgrade the FLUX 2 Smart firmware to the latest version, so you can always take advantage of the latest improvements and features.

Toller Trainer, super Fahrgefühl, leichte Montage. Alles Top!
Super leise und präzise, einfach zu installieren und in Zwift zu nutzen!
Gerät macht einen insgesamt sehr stabilen Eindruck, leider aber keinerlei Anleitung dabei, wie man ein Rad mit Steckachse montiert. Bin an dem mehrteiligen Adapter schier verzweifelt, ein unlösbares Puzzle aus vielen Teilen mit vielen Variationen, von denen aber keine richtig passt. Zum Glück gibt es YouTube..... aber auch dann war keine passgenaue Montage möglich und die Schaltung musste neu eingestellt werden. Dass es anders geht beweist Wahoo, den ich mir nach der Rücksendung des Tacx alternativ bestellt habe .... hier wurde eine eindeutige Anleitung mitgeliefert und alles passte von Anfang an. Rücknahme seitens Bike-Discount Gott sei Dank problemlos.
Semplicemente eccezionale
super gereat
Dies ist mein zweiter Smarttrainer und im Gegensatz zu meinem 2 Jahre alten Wahoo Kickr Core ist der Tacx Flux 2 doch um einiges lauter. Wahrscheinlich liegt es an dem ganzen Plastik, wo er mit verkleidet ist. Des weiteren wird das Gerät doch ziemlich warm; ob das die Elektronik darin ewig aushält bleibt abzuwarten. Ansonsten macht er was er machen soll.
