Garmin introduced the Tacx Alpine, a gradient simulator that raises and lowers the front of a bike during an indoor ride to replicate climbs and provide a more natural movement experience.

Featuring a design that accommodates the motion of Tacx Neo 2T and 3M smart trainers, Tacx Alpine builds upon the immersive ride experience by mimicking grades from up to 25 percent to -10 percent and enabling steering, creating a more realistic ride for a fully immersive experience.

“We are excited to add the Tacx Alpine to our lineup of premium training tools to create an ultimate indoor cycling experience unlike any other. This new gradient simulator helps bring real elevation changes to life, complementing the motion of our powerful Neo 2T and 3M smart trainers to add a whole new level of immersion and realism to any ride. And when riding life-like videos from some of the most beautiful routes and locations in the world through the Tacx Training App, the full Tacx suite makes cyclists feel like they’re actually there,” said Susan Lyman,VP and president of Consumer Sales and Marketing at Garmin.
