Garmin has launched Tacx Neo Motion Plates, a new rocker plate accessory for its Tacx smart trainers. Before today if you were a Tacx Neo user, or considering becoming one, your choices consisted entirely of third-party solutions. The launch of the new Tacx Neo Motion Plates changes that by offering anyone using a Tacx Neo, Neo 2 and Neo 2T smart trainers the addition of front-to-back movement. 

The Tacx Neo 2T is already one of the most advanced trainers on the market. We didn't mention it in our coverage, and Garmin doesn't put a number on it, but there is already a bit of side-to-side movement built into the Neo 2T. This new product builds on what's already baked into the design and adds front-to-back movement as well.

He will happily talk for hours about the minutiae of cycling tech but also has an understanding that most people just want things to work. He is a road cyclist at heart and doesn't care much if those roads are paved, dirt, or digital. Although he rarely races, if you ask him to ride from sunrise to sunset the answer will be yes.
