Here are just a couple of interesting reviews that we picked out from verified customers:
Worth the expense by Desbos, 21 May 2016, 30 out of 32 people found this review helpful I did wonder if spending this kind of money on an ergo would be worth it, and the answer is yes. If you regularly train indoors, especially on Zwift or Trainer Road this is worth every dollar. I bought the Neo (instead of Kickr) specifically due to the low noise due to neighbours being close by, and it sure is quiet. Even at high intensity big ring efforts, my fan makes more noise than the Neo. The extent of resistance is amazing, my sprinting power is around 1300 watts and steep inclines on zwift (when set to maximum resistance) brings me to a grind where im flicking back through my gears to find granny (just like in real life). Its made Zwift just so much more immersive, and compared to my old fluid trainer I can really feel the difference in workout intensity. I can tell this will make me stronger.

Does exactly what is say! by AddyTT, 16 December 2015, 28 out of 32 people found this review helpful I bought this trainer and read the negative reviews. The trainer doesn’t need to come with software, it connects to my iPad and iPhone with the free App’s from Tacx. I also use Trainer road and Zwift with the Neo. It is quiet and rock solid, I love it. Easily the best purchase this year!! I have a Campagnolo bike and a Shimano and both my cassettes fit and the spacers which I didn’t use come with the trainer. Pros: wireless silent connects to free apps very realistic folds small for storeage campag/shimano/sram compatible accurate power measurement Cons: does not come with cassette tool I found this review helpful I did not find this review helpful
