Experience the best in cycling training technology all year round with the TacX Fortius Virtual Reality Trainer. No need to worry about “winterizing” your road bike for lousy, rainy weather when you can ride the TacX indoors, all year round.  You can push a button to select the team you want to ride with.  Getting bored of the same route?  choose a virtual course with varying terrain.  It is almost as though you are there. The included software simulates the pain of grinding uphill or the speed of descents. Graphics so realistic, you’ll almost feel like you’re actually part of the peloton in a race.. You may even see a crash or two and see what it’s like to be in the thick of the peloton when riders go down.

Using the TacX Virtual Reality Trainer as a training tool, you will maintain your summer fitness throughout the winter and build your legs and lungs to prepare for the next season.  Many people use these trainers to stay up on their game all year long. The Tacx Virtual Reality Trainer comes in three different versions.  There is the i-Magic T1900 which allows you to experience various types of road surfaces or terrain. You can ride on smooth pavement or even rough cobblestones of Paris Roubaix. 

The Fortius is one of Tacx top models.  The Fortius comes with a motorized resistance brake system that allows for big resistance when climbing steep hills, yet also having the ability to simulate riding down hills as well. With the Fortius Multiplayer, it is the top of the line model of the TacX Fortius virtual trainer editions.  It has the power brake that gives you the feeling of being outside. The resistance motor on the Fortius simulates climbs and descents more accurately than most other motorized trainers.

There is no question that the TacX Virtual Reality Trainer is a high-quality indoor virtual trainer that will help you stay on top of your fitness when and if you can’t get out on the road. The virtual reality software gives you so many options to train in different environments, it’ll be like getting lost in the back country roads. This makes workouts a lot more enjoyable and the time passes much quicker.
