We’re a bit late in getting this news out, but Zwift flipped a server-side switch a few weeks ago to enable in-game steering and gear indicators for the Tacx NEO Bikes.
Read the forum announcement from Shuji, dated June 5 >
There are two versions of the Tacx NEO Bike. The original “Tacx NEO Bike Smart” requires a firmware update to support steering + gear indicators, while the newer “Tacx NEO Bike Plus” should support it out of the box.
If you’re on the original Tacx NEO Bike Smart you may need to manually install the firmware since it’s not in production yet. Details on how to do that can be found here >
Smartbikes + Steering
With this update, the Tacx Neo bikes join the Wahoo KICKR bikes on the list of smartbikes that support steering in Zwift. But what about the Stages SB20 and Wattbike Atom bikes? We know that both companies have made agreements with Zwift re: enabling steering, but we’re also not sure why steering isn’t yet enabled.
Hopefully with Zwift’s renewed focus on steering these bikes will be able to steer soon.
