Tacx Fortius Virtual Reality Turbo Trainer
| Discontinued - no longer available | ||||||
The Fortius is one of Tacx’s top models.
This trainer has the same properties as the Fortius Multiplayer, such as the state of the art interface and powerful engine brake that simulates climbs and descents.
The Fortius however does not come with the manoeuvrable VR steering frame and 12 month Multiplayer license. It is of course possible to purchase these items at a later date
Cyclists can now for the first time get totally immersed into real video cycling and feel the real effects of riding over tough mountain routes and tackling fast tricky descents.
The Fortius Virtual Reality Trainer comes with some incredible features; DVD Video Reality software enabling the user to ride actual video footage of stages from the tour or early season classics.
New Virtual Reality Software design by a major European PC games developer, featuring 3 new courses. Riders feel all the sensations that the i-magic gives but they will also experience; *Increased resistance when climbing (with a possible simulation of a 1 in 4 ascent). *Acceleration of the rear wheel via the motor brake when descending. This is all possible via the integration of the NEW revolutionary motor resistance unit.

If you really struggle to get your head around the idea of indoor cycle training, a virtual reality trainer might be the answer. Once the Tacx is built up, the software is surprisingly easy to install and get going.
Mechanically speaking, the motor resistance is super smooth, feels surprisingly road-like and offers up to the equivalent of a 1:4 hill. It even provides the illusion of freewheeling while 'descending'.
As you'd expect of a trainer of this price, there's hardly any noise and the bike feels rock solid in the frame. The software is great too; we kicked off by racing in the virtual world against computer opposition in a 12-mile race. The racing is fun and there's no doubt it's a lot more enjoyable than mindlessly staring at the garage wall.
From a training perspective, you get a good batch of data at the end of a workout too, including both heart rate and power stats. Next we tried out the real-time video of riding in Majorca and, once absorbed into the experience, it does feel eerily like riding on the road.
It's even possible to buy DVDs of iconic climbs and 'ride' them in your home. For an additional £164.99, you can add a steering frame and £239.99 buys you the opportunity to race your mates online.
A fun way to beat indoor training boredom, but it comes at a price...
