Don't lose all that fitness you worked so hard for last summer

Bushido T1980 MSRP: $1,420.00 SALE: $989.99

Currently the most advanced Ergotrainer; a combination of a smart example of technology and of design. The Bushido is completely wireless. Mains power is no longer required and you can set it up wherever you like. The graphic display for the handlebar computer shows all the information required (power, heart rate, rhythm, speed, time, etc.). The menus are arranged to enable you to start at once. The Bushido has a powerful brake system with a flywheel that is fully incorporated in the housing. The brake features LED lamps that move in time with your rhythm, a fun way of visualising your performance.

The Vortex is Tacx's latest high-tech Ergotrainer. The Vortex features a white Satori frame, a handlebar computer with a custom display and has a number of innovative functionalities available. All relevant training data is visible at a glance. Unlike the Bushido, the Vortex does not have a memory; you set programmes for gradient, power or heart rate manually while training. The electric brake is wireless, which means that there is no wire running between the brake and the handlebar computer. A cadence sensor is no longer needed either, although mains power is. Includes Skyliner front wheel support.
