Basically a 10% discount on the bike and a free trainer.
Could probably sell the bike lickity split in the fall to all those people who have severe cabin fever and want to go do some solo gravel rides.
Wow, why did you post this? Haha, the gears in my head have been turning since I clicked on the link. My road/trainer bike is a Cervelo R3, but it has super small clearance so I canât put 25mm tires on it comfortably. Definitely going to do some research tonight

So I assume the accuracy issues are still there on the 2T? I use my Assioma for power so not concerned with that but do hope the ERG issue has been fixed. The H3 is great for TR, and I think you said that too, but what makes it better? Is the Kickr slower to respond or not as smooth? I know the 2T was too fast to respond at times
Thank you! My Lbs is going to let me borrow both their display 18kickr and Neo 2T for a week since the shop is closed anyway. Iâll see how they feel on zwift and TR as well. I trust both units but trying to decide if the Neo is worth $100-$150 more USD than the Kickr18 cause with my discounts thatâs approximately the difference

Neo will definitely feel different with the rocking motion. I did have a 2t momentarily and hated the virtual wheel slip at lower gearing/cadences so i sent it back. My buddy loves his kickr.
So that was remedied on the 2T, but was a thing on the Neo and Neo2. My LBS has both the Neo2T and Kickr 18 and are letting me borrow them for a week so I will see what I think.
I know they said it was remedied but it still occurred to me when I had a 2T still. Maybe it wonât happen to you but it did for me.
How much power you putting out?
Nothing crazy. Just felt like I was pedaling through mud at times. Maybe it was my trainer as this is when they still have quite a few power accuracy issues.
Elite Suito is another option

Thanks for that. Iâm interested in particularly the Kickr18 and the Neo2T, just want to stick with the higher end stuff for a (perhaps false) sense of security that I will have a more reliable product.
Just trying to figure out if the 2T issues have been fixed since that is kind of my holy grail right now

Hi Cleanneon98,
Can you keep us (me) posted on how you go with the 2 loaner trainers.
Our LBS has capitalised on the crisis and put the price of trainers up, pretty disappointing as I have supported them when I can.
Cheers GG
Prices up? Yeah that is a pretty interesting. Time to start buying from REI or clevertaining with the 20% off coupons.

Yea for sure Iâll keep you updated. Sounds like a scummy LBS honestly, but they will get beat out by the internet since it seems like thatâs what they deserve anyway
Yep price. ( in Australia, so no ReI)
Tacx Neo 2 was heavily discounted, now that is being offered at RRP of the 2T.
2T has gone back to RRP.
Supply and demand, but disappointing.
I think I replied to you on the Neo FB page. I had a Kickr 2018 and didnât rate the feel. Havenât ridden the Neo though.
Got to try the NEO2 (not the 2T) at home thanks to my LBS. On zwift itâs awesome aside from feeling like it changes resistance ahead of the actual gradient change (some trainers do this after the change so not a huge deal) but ERG on trainerroad feels really bad unfortunately. Even with the .34 firmware, the increases in power come on way too quick and even doing steady state stuff feels like being on a wheel on trainer, the smoothness and road feel just arenât there and it feels choppy. On the upside I didnât get any slip while sprinting, on the downside I got awful slip on a 9% gradient at 350-400w on every pedal stroke even seated, standing up it was just atrocious.
Hoping the Kickr is better as far as feel and being closer to the Saris/Cycleops.

Oh wow, that is super disappointing. I think I will be waiting for a new round of trainers then.
I havenât seen a Saris H3 trainer in Australia yet. Only the Kickr and Neo. So they are my options, the feel of the Kicker wasnât for me.
Again let me know what your thoughts are about the Kickr.
