Once you enable Isotonic mode within the app, you set the resistance between 0% to 100% at 10% increments.
Isotonic Mode will force you to apply constant force throughout the pedal stroke. In the second image, I increased the speed to 30km /h and was able to get my cadence up to around 80 rpm. You can see in the image above my cadence was around 55rpm at 18 km/h and it was impossible to go over that. The higher the speed you set, the higher the RPM. Once you enable it within the app, you can set your speed between 16 km/h to 30 km/h, and the NEO will keep you at the set speed at a low RPM. Isokinetic Mode is referred to by fitness experts as a variable resistance type of training. Isokinetic exercise performed using a specialized equipment that provides variable resistance to a movement so that no matter how much effort is exerted, the movement takes place at a constant speed.īasically, Isokinetic is used to train at low RPM at a set speed. So if you disable road feel within Tacx Utility app, you still need to disable it within Zwift itself. However, that doesn’t affect road feel in other apps.

You can simultaneously connect to TrainerRoad or Zwift via ANT+ for example and Tacx Utility app via Bluetooth and turn on road feel during a structured workout. This can be useful if you want to train for a race that might include cobblestones sections. You can try out all the different road feel simulation and adjust the level for each. Tacx quietly added a toggle button to enable/disable road feel in the app. These updates will only impact the Tacx NEO smart trainer.

The new update adds Isotonic and Isokinetic modes and some additional features to Road Feel. And yeah, I know, it's only 10 watts difference and doesn't matter.Tacx released an update to their utility app yesterday.
#Trainerroad tacx neo how to
I've also noticed that the Neo gets pretty warm, so I could imagine that some kind of auto-calibration is needed for this.Īnyone have any ideas on this? I'm thinking I can switch over to just pairing with the Neo over Bluetooth, but I'd like to have a clear idea of how to make sure I'm getting the "right" power numbers. This hunch is based on the fact that the power2max showed the same calibration number before the ride and during the ride. So, actually getting to my question: has anyone witnessed something like this, or can anyone explain it? My hunch is that the Tacx does some kind of calibration when you stop pedaling (similar to what a power2max does), and that's what brought the two in line after I stopped to re-calibrate my power2max. However, after that the Tacx and power2max were consistently within a watt of each other, which was actually really impressive. After about 30 minutes of riding, I re-calibrated the power2max, although it showed exactly the same calibration number (-377) as before the ride. Last night I gave it a try, calibrating my power2max before the ride, and noticed that there was a pretty consistent difference of 10 watts between the Tacx and the power2max (with the Tacx showing higher numbers). I've been considering switching over to an iPad, and being the anal-retentive person I am, I wanted to verify that the power2max and Tacx Neo were giving the same power numbers (as I won't be able to pair my power meter with an iPad). I currently run TrainerRoad on my laptop with an ANT+ dongle, riding a Tacx Neo, and with a power2max power meter on my bike, and pairing both the trainer and power meter with TR (so the power meter is the source of power data for TR).
