Tacx Antares

Unlike fixed trainers that hold your bike in place, rollers require you to balance and steer constantly. This mimics the feeling of riding on the road, which helps improve your pedal stroke, core stability, and overall bike handling skills.

There is a learning curve, but most riders get the hang of it within a few sessions. We recommend setting the rollers up in a doorway or a narrow hallway for the first few rides so you can easily steady yourself against the walls while you find your balance.

The Antares is compatible with most road and mountain bikes with wheel diameters between 26 and 29 inches. Because the rollers adjust to your wheelbase, it accommodates a wide variety of bike geometries.

No, the Tacx Antares does not have adjustable resistance. Your workout intensity is determined entirely by your gear selection and how hard you pedal, just like riding on flat ground.

The unit features a collapsible design that folds down to a compact size, making it easy to slide under a bed or tuck into a closet when you aren't training.
