Also compatible with 12×142 & 12×148 Thru-Axle, but only with a not-included adapter (the Flux 2 includes the adapters inbox) – App Compatibility: Every app out there basically (Zwift, TrainerRoad, Rouvy, Road Grand Tours, SufferFest, Kinomap, etc…)

– Protocol Compatibility: ANT+ FE-C, ANT+ Power, Bluetooth Smart Trainer Control, Bluetooth Smart Power – Handle: This unit lacks a handle, which continues to be a bit of an oddity compared to other brands.

– Sound: It’s essentially the same as the original Flux (and the Flux 2), quiet-ish, but definitely not mostly silent like the Tacx Neo or Wahoo KICKR CORE.

– Cassette: No Tacx trainers include a cassette, which will set you back $50-$60, plus $10-$20 in tools to install. – Flywheel: It has a 6.7kg flywheel (but simulates 25KG) – Direct drive trainer: This means you remove your rear wheel – Long derailleur cage support: They dropped the legs lower so that it fitsīut before we get too far, let’s do a quick dive into the core tech specs in a bulleted fashion: – Improved internal alignment: Nothing meaningful to consumers, purely manufacturing – Improved internal tension roller: which results in slightly improved road feel and accuracy during sprints Here’s the specific list of items that have been changed: Still, some things spill into the feature realm. Most all of the changes internally have been focused on manufacturing rather than features. The Flux S is no more quiet than the original Flux, it’s also not really any more powerful either. Meanwhile, they also announced the Tacx Flux 2, which takes many of those same internal changes but adds a pile of additional gusto to make a more powerful trainer and left that at the original price of $899. The basic concept of the Tacx Flux S is to essentially take the existing Flux trainer that’s had a pile of internal changes over the past two years, tweak the frame to allow longer derailleur cages…and call it a new trainer (oh, and they dropped the price by some $150). Onwards with the review! Technical Overview: We’ll see if I have that much spare energy. Maybe I’ll even put it in my cargo bike and pedal it over to them myself. And finally, as usual the Flux S is a media loaner and will go back to Tacx shortly.
