Hi, I have a Tacx Flux since smart 2020. I always thought that the max incline of the Flux was 7% as this was my experience with it. Looking to buy a new trainer (and I will probably try to sell that one), I saw in the specs that the max incline is in fact 10%.
I understand that the advertised max incline is for a typical rider weight. I read values somewhere of 75kg, with maybe 10kg extra for the bike (last point not clear). As I’m myself weighting 72kg, it should be ok.
I have made some tests with the Tacx app, Rouvy and Wahoo RGT, all on Android if that matters.
My weight setting are the following:
Tacx and Wahoo: Rider weight = 72kg
Rouvy: Rider weight = 72kg, bike weight =7,5 kg.
Also, reality is set to 100%.
The test is as follows:
- Choose a fixed gear ratio, as for instance 34x25.
- Keep the cadence constant (between 70 and 75 rpm).
- Have a look at the power output.
I expect that the power output increases till the limit of the trainer.
Results in the three apps are more or less the same:
