Tacx® NEO 3M Smart Trainer
Direct-drive Smart Trainer with Pre-installed SHIMANO/SRAM 11-speed Cassette
TRAINING IS LIFE

Take your indoor cycling experience to the next level with the Tacx® NEO 3M – a high-performance direct-drive smart trainer featuring built-in multidirectional movement and a cutting-edge NEO magnet motor. Designed for riders who demand the most realistic, immersive training possible, this trainer delivers power, precision, and silence.

A Realistic, Immersive Ride Feel
Built-in motion plates provide a more natural side-to-side movement that simulates outdoor riding and reduces fatigue. Whether you're pushing through structured intervals or cruising on virtual group rides, you can toggle the movement plates on or off depending on your training style.

The innovative virtual flywheel lets you feel the difference in road textures – from rough cobblestones to loose gravel. This simulation of real surfaces prepares you for any terrain and enhances your riding instincts indoors.

You can tackle realistically simulated inclines up to a steep 25% gradient and enjoy lifelike descent simulation. Whether you're climbing alpine switchbacks or sprinting on flat terrain, the NEO 3M adapts instantly.

For those chasing podiums in virtual races, Race Mode ensures lightning-fast resistance changes for rapid responsiveness during attacks, surges, and sprints.

With an improved power accuracy of less than 1%, the trainer delivers reliable data across a wide range of outputs. Speed, cadence, and power are measured precisely for smarter training and detailed performance tracking.

Arriving with a pre-installed SHIMANO/SRAM 11-speed cassette, the Tacx NEO 3M is ready to ride straight out of the box – no extra tools or setup needed.

Powerful, Silent, and Built to Perform
Engineered with 32 neodymium magnets, the direct-drive motor delivers maximum brake force and up to 2,200 watts of resistance – ideal for intense sprinting and peak power workouts. Despite its strength, the NEO 3M remains remarkably quiet thanks to minimized vibrations, making it perfectly suited for home use.

Dynamic Inertia technology further enhances the ride feel by compensating for rider weight, speed, and gradient, offering an incredibly lifelike riding sensation during climbs, descents, and flat efforts.

An integrated multicolor LED projects light onto the floor to indicate your power output in real time. The harder you push, the more intense the color – a powerful visual cue for effort tracking.

Even without a power source, the NEO 3M continues to function. It simulates a flat road, and resistance increases with speed, allowing for training sessions wherever and whenever you need them.

No calibration is necessary. Just install your bike and go – the trainer is ready to perform every time.

ERG mode ensures you hit your power targets during structured workouts by automatically adjusting resistance to match your training goals.
