Tacx Flow

With the Flow, Tacx announces the start of a new generation of ergotrainers. This trainer is the result of knowledge and inspiration, combined with innovation. Heart rate, power, speed and pedalling frequency are measured and visualised on the modern display of the Flow computer. These data provide an important instrument for targeting and improving physical fitness efficiently - resulting in optimum performance. During development much attention was focused on the information that appears on the display. The brake indicator, for example, shows brake performance in graphic form. A histogram shows the slope, enabling the cyclist to view the settings at a glance. Moreover, you can select the training information you want to displayed.

Another point of interest is the simple operation. By setting the power or resistance, you can adjust your programme while training, to suit your own needs. You can even calibrate the brake to ensure accurate power measurements at all times. Flow comes with a matching-colour Skyliner front wheel support, which corrects the position of the bike and ensures a natural cycling posture.

?Flow? stands for optimum perception, a state that entails intense enjoyment, flowing from extreme concentration. This is the state that produces top performance, including top sport performance. At one time or another everyone has experienced flow. We feel strong, alert, and go about our work effortlessly. We have the feeling that we are in full control of the situation and can perform at the top of our ability. Awareness of time and personal problems temporarily fades into the distance -- as though you are having an out-of-body experience (Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi).
