Tacx Neo 2T Review: Indoor Training with a Rocker Plate

Our experience with the Tacx Neo 2T combined with a rocker plate. Comfort, noise and performance reviewed.

The Tacx Neo 2T: A Brief Introduction

The Tacx Neo 2T is one of the most popular indoor trainers. Silent drive, accurate power measurement and solid build quality make it an excellent choice.

Training Without a Rocker Plate

Without a rocker plate, the Tacx Neo 2T is a solid trainer but you miss the freedom of movement of outdoor cycling. After an hour, you notice the static position.

Training With a Rocker Plate: The Difference

With a rocker plate underneath, everything changes. The Tacx Neo 2T comes alive. The subtle side-to-side movement makes it feel much more natural.

Comfort and Ergonomics

Comfort improves dramatically. Longer sessions become more enjoyable and you have less pressure point issues. Your core muscles become more active.

Noise and Vibrations

Noise and vibrations decrease noticeably. The rocker plate's balls absorb the Tacx Neo 2T's vibrations effectively.

Our Verdict

Our verdict: the Tacx Neo 2T + rocker plate combination is the ultimate indoor training setup. The difference is immediately noticeable.

  • Custom-made for the Tacx Neo 2T
  • Natural side-to-side movement
  • Noise dampening included
  • Easy installation in 5 minutes
  • Handmade in the Netherlands
  • 2 year warranty + 30 day returns
