Basic wheel-on trainer
Tacx Boost Trainer
The Boost is a simple, non-smart wheel-on trainer with a magnetic brake and handlebar resistance lever. It needs no mains power and is available with a speed sensor for basic app use.
Highlights
Why we rate it
No power needed
Magnetic resistance works without a plug, so it can be set up anywhere.
Handlebar control
A bar-mounted lever switches between 10 resistance levels mid-effort.
Real flywheel
A 1.6 kg flywheel helps the pedal stroke feel smoother than basic fan trainers.
Speed sensor bundle
The bundle adds a speed sensor so distance and speed can be logged in Zwift, TrainerRoad or Tacx Training.
