  • Tacx Booster at the 2011 Tour de France
Product Overview

The new Tacx Booster turbo trainer has quickly become a pro favourite, thanks to its powerful, class leading magnetic brake system. The built in magnetic brake and flywheel generates very high resistance even at low speed, more than Tacx's Satori, which is why it's used for warm-up and training by the likes of Leopard-Trek, Astana, Quick Step, RadioShack, Vacansoleil and the 2012 Olympics to name a few.

With its realistic and powerful resistance, the Booster is possibly one of the best turbo trainers out there, whether you're warming up for a race or training for the forthcoming season.

Key Features:

  • The new top-of-the range trainer from Tacx, their most powerful yet.
  • A new magnetic brake and flywheel system with eight permanent magnets give increased, variable resistance to help you warm-up and train.
  • The resistance lever clamps to your handlebars, allowing you to vary the powerful magnetic brake.
  • Includes the Skyliner front wheel support, to give a more realistic and comfortable experience.
  • The brake and flywheel are housed securely, making it much safer.
  • The official warm-up trainer of the Olympic Games and the UCI World Champs, it's also used by eight Pro teams and many pro riders.
  • Easy to set-up, the trainer conveniently folds to make it easier to store.
  • Includes: Trainer, resistance controller and Skyliner front wheel support.

"..can handle a sprint without bogging down" - Review by Cycling Plus October 2011

The booster is designed for high power workouts at low speed. It works off magnetic resistance and boasts a 2kg flywheel, so retains some momentum when you ease off the pedals. It can also handle a sprint without bogging down or spinning out and is stable under power. It has 10 resistance settings controlled via a bar lever, and we found every level save for the lowest to be really hard work-ok if you're a bigger rider or want to do low rev workouts, but not a lightweight who likes to spin.
