When the Genius Smart isn't connected to a Smartphone, Tablet or computer (computer via upgrade) , it behaves as a fluid trainer.

This means the trainer behaves progressively: when your speed increases, the resistance increases as well. So it is possible to use this trainer in a "stand-alone" status.

The wireless motor brake converts the properties of the terrain into resistance on the bike, in a highly realistic manner, and speeds up in descents. The bike route is displayed on your computer screen. The Motor Brake The motor brake is the most advanced resistance unit that provides the most realistic cycling experience at the highest training level.

The resistance is dynamically controlled, it is constantly calculated and adjusted in order to simulate natural road resistance, even for descents. Tacx trainers feature a dynamic control of the braking force. Other trainers use a flywheel to pass the dead centre, Tacx trainers constantly adjust the resistance to simulate the most natural handling.

Thanks to the dynamic braking system virtual climbs become real challenges. The Tacx Ironman trainer even has a downhill drive. The wheel keeps turning, just like in real life you do not have to pedal.

This Tacx trainer best approaches reality.
