An easy start indoors

Garmin Tacx Blue Matic Basic Bike Trainer

The Garmin Tacx Blue Matic Basic Bike Trainer is an easy-to-use bike trainer that is popular among novice riders. A lever on your handlebar sets manual resistance across 10 positions, so you control the intensity of the session. A compact 1.25 kg (2.75 lb) flywheel simulates the feel of riding outdoors and runs virtually silent, which lets you ride without disturbing others. The trainer locks your bike in easily and needs no external power. With the Tacx speed and cadence sensor, sold separately, virtual power opens up Zwift, TrainerRoad and Tacx software. Its sturdy design takes sprints up to 700 watts.

During your training session you can use the handlebar resistance lever to adjust the resistance as needed. The higher the position, the more resistance.
