Tacx Bushido Smart Turbo Trainer

Bushido Smart Turbo Trainer

The Bushido Smart Turbo Trainer has the most powerful resistance unit in the Tacx interactive Turbo Trainer range. The electric motor brake with a maximum resistance of 1400 Watts ensures smooth pedalling even during steep climbs.

Extremely user-friendly, the Bushido Smart Turbo Trainer can be connected to the Tacx Cycling apps available in Smartphone and Android versions and you can even attach your tablet or smartphone to your handlebar with the Tacx mounts (not included). If you prefer to train with a PC or laptop, you can purchase the Upgrade Smart package which will allow you to do this.

The Bushido powers itself so is therefore completely wireless, it doesn't even need a power cable. Just like the other Smart trainers, the Bushido uses ANT+ and Bluetooth® Smart technology to communicate with the connected device.

The Bushido Smart Turbo Trainer works with an electro brake. By placing magnets and electro magnets beside a rotating aluminium disc, eddy currents are created which generate an opposing magnetic field. In this way a non-contact, maintenance-free brake is realized that is also silent. Thanks to the electro brake a resistance can be set that you also experience on the road or in a climb.

The Tacx Cycling app for tablets and smartphones are quick and easy to use giving you the option to train whilst riding classic cycling races and legendary stages. You can also create your own training programmes and train according to heart rate, slope or power output, or use the pre-set fitness level tests.

All your performance data is measured and displayed while you are cycling and stored so you can analyse it at a later stage. Your performance data is displayed while you are cycling in the form of 'dynamic' graphs. The applications for tablets and smartphones can be used in combination with any interactive Tacx trainer, in some cases an upgrade is needed. The Tacx Cycling App is free to download from the App Store or Play Store with applications available for for iPads, Android tablets, iPhones and Android smartphones.
