The Tacx Alpine is a $1,100 gradient simulator for your Garmin smart bike trainer


Cycling season may have only just started, but that’s not stopping Garmin from looking ahead to when all the roadies need to take their bikes indoors with its new Tacx Alpine gradient simulator.

In short, the Tacx Alpine is designed for those who want spice up their off-season training since pedaling a road bike on an indoor trainer is about the most boring thing ever. Inside the box, you’ll find adapters for both quick release skewers (9 x 100), and thru axles (12 x 100, 15 x 100 and 15 x 110), so the Tacx Alpine will work with most modern road bikes. Either way, if you’re looking at one of these, chances are you already spent a pretty penny on a fancy carbon road bike and the thought of dropping another $1,000 on your hobby doesn’t phase you.
