Cold weather is coming, which means\u2014for many cyclists like myself\u2014the outdoor season is over. But that doesn’t mean I won’t be cycling until spring. Fortunately, bike trainers have improved over the last decade, with many big brands offering “smart” versions. That’s why, when I saw Garmin’s early Black Friday<\/a> deal on a smart bike trainer<\/a>, I couldn’t resist. At 36% off, the price comes down from $1,400 to $900, which is a major steal.<\/p>

The trainer, Garmin’s Tacx Neo 2T<\/a>, provides resistance using 32 Neodymium magnets. It runs on ANT+ and it can connect to devices via Bluetooth to sync your stats with apps like Strava and Zwift. It’s also compatible with a wide range of devices, including iOS, Android, macOS and Windows operating systems.<\/p>

Though its max power is 2,200 watts, it runs quietly. Since the trainer folds, it’s also highly portable. And with a new design, it’s responsive to speed and incline changes. Simulating inclines up to 25%, you can customize your ride to your liking. And it feels just like you’re riding outside!<\/p>

With almost 500 reviews and a 4.6-star rating, shoppers like the realistic ride simulations and quiet operation<\/a> of the Neo 2T<\/a>. “The realism this trainer provides is uncanny, from the simulated road feel to the dynamic inertia that mimics outdoor riding. It\u2019s whisper-quiet too, so you can ride in the early morning or late at night without becoming the neighborhood nuisance,” the buyer raves. “Setup is a breeze, which means less time tinkering and more time pedaling. With its robust build, this trainer can handle the most grueling training sessions, making it a top choice for serious cyclists aiming to maintain peak condition year-round.”<\/p>

It’s unclear how long this early Black Friday<\/a> deal on the Garmin Tacx Neo 2T<\/a> will last, so hop on it before it’s too late!<\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
