Garmin Tacx NEO 3M In-Depth Review: Worth it?

Here's full in-depth review of the Tacx NEO 3M, from accuracy to realism, and plenty more!

After a four year wait, the next generation Tacx NEO series trainer is here - the Tacx NEO 3M. As one will quickly assess, the ‘M’ in 3M stands for ‘motion’, as this trainer isn’t sitting still. Instead, Garmin/Tacx has incorporated the previously released Tacx NEO Motion Plates into the Tacx NEO 3M design, bringing it built-in forward/back motion, alongside increased side to side tilting motion. And finally, we get a Tacx trainer that has a darn handle built-in to move it around!

However, the bulk of the changes on the Tacx NEO 3M are actually inside. From a significantly more powerful resistance system that now easily takes the crown as the best ERG-mode smart trainer out there in terms of accuracy and control (not overshooting/undershooting). And beyond that, Garmin has brought WiFi and Ethernet to the trainer, albeit via an accessory adapter. Further, coming next year Garmin is aiming to add a higher-speed data mode, commonly called ‘Race mode’. But we’ll get to all the changes. Down below.I’ve been using the Tacx NEO 3M for the past month or so, putting it through it’s paces in all manner of workouts and suffering.
