The Tacx Vortex Ergo Turbo Trainer is Tacx's latest high tech Ergotrainer. The Vortex features a white Satori frame, a handlebar computer with a custom display and has a number of innovative functionalities available. All relevant training data is visible at a glance. Unlike the Bushido, the Vortex does not have a memory; you set programmes for gradient, power or heart rate manually while training. The electric brake is wireless, which means that there is no wire running between the brake and the handlebar computer. A cadence sensor is no longer needed either, although mains power is.
Key Features:
- Easy to use and install, can be set up in minutes.
- Only connection to the power mains is required.
- Handlebar computer makes all relevant training data visible at a glance displaying measurement, cadence, poer and hear rate.
- Set programs for slope, power or heart rate manually while training.
- Braking unit transmits the training data wirelessly back to the handlebar computer.
- Each time the braking unit is connected to the mains power, it immediately carries out a very quick internal test first.
- Wireless links to a PC.
- The brake resistance during training can be regulated via the handlebar computer.
- Brake resistance can be measured in power (Watt), slope (percentage) as well as in heart rate.
- Cadence sensor not needed.
