Upgrade PC Flow & Cosmos T1925

If you are already the proud owner of a Cosmos or Flow Ergotrainer, then Tacx offers you the possibility of upgrading your current Ergotrainer to a real Virtual Reality trainer. The PC upgrade consists of an interface and the Tacx trainer software, with one year's free licence to cycle in contests (Multiplayer) through the internet in real time. This way you can use all of the facilities the VR trainer has to offer and also keep a top-of-the-range stand-alone trainer.

Riding uphill in your living room, the outdoor feel indoors
With the highly advanced Tacx Trainer software you will integrate your VR trainer and your computer into a team of untold capabilities. New worlds unfold before you on your monitor which turn cycling at home into a spectacular event. Real Life Video thus enables you to conjure up virtually every hill of any importance on your computer and then climb it. You see before you, what would actually be seen and the equipment simulates all the elements that go to make the tour a real-life experience. Going uphill the resistance increases, easing off as you go downhill. Using the control panel on the handlebars you will constantly check how your performance is shaping up: power, heart rate, rhythm, speed time and so on.

Virtual Reality terrains place the fun element centre stage. Tacx Trainer software is supplied in as many as five different terrains. Everything really is possible with GPS. Tours which have been ridden personally can be rerun in their entirety thanks to Google Earth. True to life but without the disadvantages of riding outdoors: no rain or cold. Furthermore, through the 3D maps you will be riding on routes you would never go on otherwise. The software is simple to operate, switching very quickly between the various on-screen options. You determine your favourite training setting yourself.
