Direct drive with built-in motion

Garmin Tacx NEO 3M Smart Trainer

The Garmin Tacx NEO 3M Smart Trainer is a direct-drive bike trainer with built-in motion plates that give your bike a more comfortable, realistic ride. Power and cadence are measured to within 1% across a broader span of power outputs. Thirty-two integrated neodymium magnets hold steady through sprints up to 2200 watts. Paired with the Tacx Training app or another popular training app, a virtual flywheel reproduces gravel and cobblestone, and simulated climbs reach a 25% gradient. The Tacx Training app, Zwift and TrainerRoad connect over dual Bluetooth and ANT+ FE-C.

Train your way to the front of the pack. Tacx NEO 3M is a direct-drive smart trainer with built-in multidirectional movement and a NEO magnet motor for the most realistic indoor ride. Ride realistic surfaces such as gravel and cobblestone, train on simulated inclines up to a 25% gradient, and handle explosive sprints up to 2200 watts.

How it works

Virtual flywheel
The Tacx virtual flywheel simulates road types such as cobblestone and gravel when paired with the Tacx Training app or other popular training apps on your compatible smart device.
Dynamic inertia
Dynamic inertia compensates for weight, speed and angle of inclination, which keeps the ride smooth at any speed on any grade.
NEO magnet motor
The NEO magnet motor minimizes vibration, which keeps the trainer extraordinarily quiet. A high brake force and high power levels come from the neodymium magnets.
Calibration-free
No calibration is needed, and the trainer works without a mains connection, so you can ride and train cord-free.
