With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

Tacx Blue Matic Trainer

Season:2019

Brand:Tacx

Code:T2650

The Tacx Blue Matic Trainer is the new generation of cycletrainers for the general public. The Blue Motion, Matic and Twist are the long-expected successors of the Cycletrack, Tacx’s first model ever that has been very popular for decades thanks to its excellent value for money. The same can be expected of the Blue, because you get more for less: a powerful brake that manages the resistance and a robust frame with solid back legs. Tacx’s many years of experience have resulted in the design of this stable construction that can withstand all forces.

The Blue is suitable for everyone, whether you cycle a lot or just every now and then. A quick half an hour’s ride before dinner? With the Blue you can start immediately. The trainer has a simplified mounting system, which makes it easy and quick to assemble. A tool set for small and big wheels is no longer needed; even 29 MTB wheels do fit.

The Blue Matic’s magnetic brake consists of two discs with six permanent magnets each. With the 10 position handlebar resistance lever you can change the position of the magnets in the brake unit in relation to each other. While training the resistance increases when you cycle faster and/or in a heavier mode. The maximum resistance of the Tacx Blue Matic Trainer is 700 Watt.

    Tacx Blue Matic Trainer review by Professional Review from Road Cycling UK, on 08/05/2017

    5

    The Tacx Blue Matic is a basic trainer, albeit with the addition of ‘virtual power’, which allows data to be sent to your Tacx, Zwift or TrainerRoad apps via the supplied speed and cadence sensors that you attach to your bike. It sits in the middle of the ‘Blue’ range at £134.99, with the aim of offering a gateway to the smart training world without the need to own an expensive power meter, or indeed an expensive trainer.

    It sounds a little too good to be true, but what exactly is it that you get for your money, and what is the experience like? Well, first off, let’s avoid confusion by pointing out that the power the Blue Matic can measure isn’t from a power meter – it’s an algorithm that estimates your power output based on the speed your rear wheel is spinning at and the resistance you set the flywheel at.

    It achieves this using a pre-set knowledge of the power needed to travel at a certain speed, with the speed and cadence data sent to the app you’re using in order to estimate power output. The Tacx app itself works on smartphones, tablets and computers – both Apple and otherwise – with the sensors connecting either via Bluetooth for any mobile device, or ANT+ on an Android tablet or computer with an ANT+ dongle.

    Once everything is connected to your chosen source, you can choose your ride, and away you go. While you know it’s not your actual power that you’re seeing, the effort level you do need to put through the cranks seems largely representative of what you might have to put through if you had a power meter, with wattages certainly in the ball park, if not 100 per cent accurate. You may argue, ‘what’s the point?’, but really the thing that matters most for structured training is that the power readings are consistent; as long as it’s consistently under or over the mark, your training and readings can still be trackable. If you want a turbo for accurate power training, this won’t be it, but if you want to dip your toe into the world of indoor training, with power as a guide, then the Blue Matic gives you an affordable route in.

    The resistance unit is magnetic, with a 30mm roller as your transmission point against the tyre, with noise kept relatively quiet for a magnetic trainer at this price point. Even with the 10-setting handlebar-mounted resistance unit cranked up to the max, it’s still bearable and will deliver an estimated 700w of resistance; enough for the vast majority of us. I say 10-setting, although I couldn’t get it to sit on the first, instead always automatically clicking over to two, resulting in a nine-setting brake.

    Overall build quality and sturdiness is excellent, and provides a really stable platform when you’re giving it the beans, holding you firm. Additionally, it folds away into easily stowable dimensions – ideal if you’re short of space, at 25cm in depth – and doesn’t weigh a proverbial ton at 8.4kg. The Tacx Blue Matic is ideal as a simple turbo trainer – it’s easy to setup and use with consistent resistance and provides a sniff of the smart trainer world without the need to buy a power meter or expensive smart trainer, giving you access to Tacx’s own training software app or the likes of TrainerRoad and Zwift.
