Easy to set up and it delivers a great session on various platforms like zwift and sufferfest. I trust the watts to be fairly accurate on this device but I'm more focused on whether it's consistent session to session with metrics and it is. Not sure about how accurate the incline resistance is but I've enjoyed doing circuit races on zwift regardless. The support for it isn't the greatest since Tacx is now owned by Garmin and customer service is difficult to reach and slow to follow up.
Fairly consistent choice for a great low fuss trainer session from SN1818 September 23, 2020Â
