Tacx Fortius – A Review
|
Check Out This Information Before You Buy TACX FORTIUS
|
Tacx Fortius has become a
popular product when it comes to high quality interactive virtual
trainers. The Tacx Fortius gives you the options of cycling against
others, on teams with others or competing for your personal best. With
a powerful motor brake that offers resistance when cycling up or down
hill, the virtual reality software off the Tacx Fortius is hard to beat
for recreating the actual event.
With a user interface the Tacx Fortius connects directly to your
computer. A choice of animated images, cycling with a live video or
graphic training is offered. Real movements of fellow riders as you
cycle make the experience more life like. You are able to have races
with others that are Tacx Fortius users also, or against the virtual
competitors on screen. But, racing isn't the only option of the Tacx
Fortius. You can take a bike ride that is set at a more leisurely pace
and take in the sites the software has to offer. The option to
undertake goal oriented training is also available as are the locations
of Italy, Spain,France and Belgium, as race venues.

The Tacx Fortius
is able to record and produce on demand your speed, distance travelled,
time travelling, heart rate and wind direction. You have full selection
capabilities in the choice of terrain you are wanting to practise or
race on. This program is developed to make the cycling at home simulate
as closely as possible all the terrain and environmental sensations
that the action of actually taking the ride would create.
The images of the other riders that are cycling almost seem to be real.
Standing up on their pedals and yelling or cheering just like the
"real" professional cyclists when racing, makes the Tacx Fortius a
unique training experience. Just as though you were in a real race,
there are spills and falls that you will have to manoeuvre around to
continue your race to the end. Everything that can be seen in a real
race, is captured with Tacx Fortius's brilliant software.
The Tacx Fortius can be purchased at around $1499. Certainly this isn't
an inexpensive product when it comes to home workout equipment. What it
does offer as opposed to your conventional equipment is the opportunity
to race in different locations and in various terrains on a daily
basis. In fact, no two races or rides will ever be alike. It also
offers for those of us that prefer a more enjoyable pedal about, the
opportunity to do so and still build muscle and burn calories. It
is a great way to gain and maintain fitness, from the privacy of your
own home. I can't imagine that a visit to the gym could ever be as
stimulating after you take your first Tacx Fortius trip.
