Tacx NEO 2 Motion Plates

I installed them and used it for about an hour and a half. It really brings out the best of the Neo 2t. One downside is that you wonÔøΩt be able to spin your cadence as fast as youÔøΩre used to while sitting (is tricky). Another is that is a hit and miss when youÔøΩre out of the saddle and try to sit back down again. You have to time it. Other than that yes buy it.

They are pricey but then again so is the Neo 2T. Gramin nailed it with these motion plates. They are dead easy to install takes less than 5 minutes no tools. I was a bit skeptical but I have to say that the fore/aft range of motion combined with the side to side flex that the Neo 2T already has really makes for a very ÔøΩalmost like riding outsideÔøΩ feel. Instead of the bike feeling ÔøΩdeadÔøΩ riding on the trainer it feels light and ÔøΩaliveÔøΩ like a good road bike does on the road. IÔøΩm a fairly big guy at 6ÔøΩ2ÔøΩ 200# and long rides on the trainer are more ÔøΩwearingÔøΩ IÔøΩve always felt like an hour on the trainer was more like 2 hours on the road there are a variety of reasons for that but I think the lack of bike motion is part of that. IÔøΩve only done a few rides since installing these plates but I have to say I feel less fatigued after a ride at the same average power with the plates. The other thing you will notice is they will highlight issues with your pedal stroke very quickly these will force you to smooth out your power delivery more like riding on rollers in that way which is a good thing. So expensive yeah but if you train hard indoors and want a good set up I canÔøΩt recommend the TACX Neo 2T the NEO motion plates and the Wahoo Kickr Headwind Bluetooth Fan highly enough. Really good ÔøΩpain caveÔøΩ setup.

I was a bit skeptical but I have to say that the fore/aft range of motion combined with the side to side flex that the Neo 2T already has really makes for a very “almost like riding outside” feel. Instead of the bike feeling “dead” riding on the trainer it feels light and “alive” like a good road bike does on the road.
