Tacx NEO 3M Direct Drive Trainer
Released in December 2023, the Neo 3M is the long-awaited update to Garmin/Tacx's flagship 2T. Key upgrades from the 2T include built-in motion plates for fore-aft movement, WiFi and ethernet connectivity via an add-on accessory, 11-speed cassette pre-installed, built-in handle, and support for two concurrent Bluetooth connections.
There are lots of “smaller” changes as well. Garmin also beefed up the resistance unit and internal cooling systems, so even though the max wattage/incline specs are the same as the NEO 2T, the 3M can handle heavier loads at lower speeds (like climbing steep hills on Zwift). Additionally, the power adapter “brick” has been moved internally for a cleaner plugin setup, various lights/buttons have been modified, and, according to early reviews, the 3M’s ERG capabilities have been improved substantially, making it perhaps the best ERG trainer on the market today.
