GarminTacx Boost Trainer, Indoor Bike Trainer

Researched this long and hard and didn't expect to like it as much as I do. There is a great review from someone for this product, his helped me and I hope mine helps you.Took the opportunity in my first week to get 100km done on it, not in one go - an impressive bit of kit and quick to mount/unmount the bike once the stand is in place.My box came with a spoke and a speed sensor although they were not listed as coming in the box. Currently returning these that I bought separately to Amazon now.I've a bit of tyre slippage when I crank the resistance up past 5 but I suspect that's my setup and I will try make some adjustments and put some more air pressure in. Power algo rating is directional, you can feel it in your legs though.Quieter than expected, very sturdy and stable - even at full pelt. Minor challenge on setting it up but there was a youtube video that sorted me out and syncing with zwift etc is seamless once the sensor is installed. The TacX training app is pretty good, some decent courses.All in all, I wish I'd have bought this ages ago.

If you don't like to cycle in wind and rain this is the machine for you. Excellent piece of kit.

Great bit of kit solid on floor very quiet and an excellent addition to home fitness .Had this for a few weeks and added cadence +speed sensor . Burning and extra 400 Calories a day along with gym .It’s no Watt Bike but it’s not £2k either .Completely recommend

Been using this trainer for a while now, and its useless for anyone planning on using a 26inch wheel bike. The screw knob that is used to adjust the engagement of the roller to the tyre, juts isn't long enough, so you either get tyre slip, or when adjusted further, it pops out the barrel the thread screws into and completely disengages. Its usable if you aren't putting any power into it or standing, but otherwise useless.The trainer also rocks about a lot, and when things get going, creaks, clicks and flexes. You cant clamp it well either, as the legs spread too easily. I would look at other options tbh, its just not worth the cash.

The support says it is also applicable to MTB which is not. It makes noise and touching the wheel.

very good product , strong , sturdy and high quality , i didn’t know i was getting the speed sensor with it great suprise as i’m now on zwift and it’s fantastic

Good sturdy bike trainer , can't fault it.

This thing is clearly not designed for all bikes, despite being advertised as such. My electric-assist mountain bike's own rear wheel axle doesn't fit between the holders on either side (they should move MUCH further apart, or let one side fully detach and be attached after the wheel is in place). I cannot use the supplied one because electric-assist bikes have fixed hub axles containing the drive motor.Furthermore, the adjustment knob underneath (for the rear stand) would not move far enough to provide a stable base, the thread seemingly gnarled which impeded movement past a certain point.It seemed that every stage of trying to get this thing assembled (hence this review having taken so long, with me ignoring the thing for months at a time) SOMETHING would go wrong.Shoddily built crap, designed and built with racing bikes in mind; nothing else.
