Malaysia – Garmin Malaysia has unveiled the Tacx NEO 3M, a cutting-edge indoor smart trainer designed to deliver the most realistic indoor cycling experience yet. Combining advanced multidirectional movement with exclusive Tacx technology, the NEO 3M promises to elevate indoor training for cyclists of all levels.

The Tacx NEO 3M introduces built-in motion plates, allowing cyclists to experience natural side-to-side and front-to-back movement. This innovative feature mimics the feel of outdoor riding, enabling cyclists to train more effectively and comfortably.
The trainer also features a virtual flywheel, powered by an electromagnetic motor braking system, which simulates the sensation of riding on various terrains, including cobblestone, gravel, and even downhill slopes. This realism is further enhanced by the ability to simulate inclines of up to 25% gradient, making it ideal for tackling challenging climbs and descents.

- Dynamic Inertia: Adjusts the sensation of forward motion based on the cyclist’s weight, speed, and gradient.
- ERG Mode: Automatically adjusts power targets during workouts for a seamless training experience.
- Quiet and Portable Design: Magnets minimize vibration for a near-silent operation, while an integrated handle makes transportation easier.
Seamless Integration with Training Apps
The Tacx NEO 3M integrates seamlessly with the Tacx Training app, allowing cyclists to sync workouts from their Garmin Connect calendar, participate in virtual GroupRides, and train alongside WorldTour professionals. The app also offers immersive videos of scenic routes from around the world, making indoor training more engaging and enjoyable.
Cyclists can also connect the NEO 3M to popular platforms like TrainerRoad and Zwift, with ride data automatically uploaded to the Garmin Connect app for comprehensive performance tracking.
