Tacx Neo Bike tested and reviewed

[@kevinmitts404]

After a month and 25+ hrs on mine (mostly on The Sufferfest and TrainerRoad), I must say I'm impressed and happy with the Tacx bike. I like it more than my road bike on a Kickr (much more stable, and I'm not thrashing and soaking my road bike and drive-train). The thigh rub for me is really a non-issue (at 85 kg my "wide thighs" are not due to the same reason as yours, but. . . even with 2.5 hr endurance rides I really don't sense the thigh rub or I'm not bothered by it). Interested in your assessment of fit and "compact" frame. DCR is much larger/taller and doesn't sense probs; I ride 56 cm frame/110 stem and with my fit dialed in I have a lot of room to increase reach via both seat setback as well as handlebar offset. The "death spiral" of erg mode is present, but I've seen it on every trainer/bike, including (albeit brief) test rides of the Wahoo Bike. Wife and daughter are both able to ride the same bike platform thanks to adjustability. All of us have different workout agendas and the bike accommodates. A HUGE plus. Overall, I'm very happy with the ride quality and "real-road-feel" of the Tacx Bike (previous trainers: Wahoo Kickr, Tacx Bushido Smart).

Great review. That glitch with the frame width is a deal breaker. For $3200 it has to be perfect.

[@davidmanzi4491]

If you want perfect, you may be waiting a long time! Right now it doesn't exist. They all have some issue.

VeloNews awesome!

my legs dont rub at the frame but i find the handlebar top grip position not very comfortable. its just very hard plastic there. maybe my seat position is not the best.... i feel quite a lot of pressure in my hands when holding there. should i move the handlebar more towards me?

[@Zumaray]

So you wouldn’t suggest this bike for someone 6ft 7?

[@velolego]

I have a wattbike trainer. This looks like it's gone backwards!

[@teriemer]

Hmmmm about the fit part. This is the first I hear about that. That's one more for the Kickrbike ;-)

[@troycollett8540]

Easy to test for power

This review pretty much sticks a 🗡 in side of Tacx considering fit issues and leg rubbing.
