drekalicious for finding this deal.
Note: A cassette is not included. You will need a cassette of the same type and speed as your bike.
In the Box:
- NEO 2T Smart Trainer
- Front wheel support
- Quick release for road bikes and mountain bikes (130mm/135mm x 5 mm)
- SHIMANO/SRAM 9-11 cassette body
- Thru axle end caps (142 x 12 mm and 148 x 12 mm)
- 2.7mm disc brake spacer
- 1-month Tacx Premium software
- 1-month Zwift membership software trial
About this product:
- Positioned as the top-tier model in the Garmin line, the Tacx Neo 2T Smart Trainer is among top picks for its wide range of axle compatibility and quiet design
- It has ANT+ Cycling Dynamics in the firmware, allowing us to use the pedal stroke analysis feature with third party software such as Garmin Edge computers, making it easier than ever to monitor output
- The latest design makes the trainer more responsive to speed and incline changes, with dynamic inertia quickly compensating for weight, speed, and incline changes to ensure the most realistic ride feel possible
- A few more relevant details help distinguish the Neo 2T from other trainers. Its max power is 2,200 watts, it measures watts to a claimed 1% accuracy, and it simulates inclines up to 25%
- Please note that some disc brake frames may have clearance issues on the Neo 2T Smart. A spacer is available directly through Garmin, if needed.

The cheapest way to get into zwift with smart features is a bring your own bike and a smart trainer. The cheapest smart trainers are wheel on smart trainers like the Wahoo Kickr Snap or Tacx Flow models to name a few. These will give you virtual incline resistance relative to the percentage of incline and provide speed and cadence sensors and a power meter. They won't feel as natural as a direct drive as they have smaller fly wheels and wheel on trainers aren't as powerful and because of their nature, they are susceptible to tire slip. They also wear out your bike tires whereas direct drive trainers don't since you don't use your back tire.
I would recommend a direct drive trainer if you can afford it. Bikecloset has some from Elite for as low as $350 which is around the price of wheel on trainers. Direct drive trainers connect directly to your bike's drivetrain and the trainer takes the place of your rear tire. They offer more power, higher max incline resistance and I believe their power meters are generally more accurate. Plus they don't wear out your rear tires and no worrying about tire slippage potential since they are paired directly to your drivetrain.
Smart trainers don't come with bikes included so you have to bring your own bike. They do have smart bikes which are a product that resembles a bike. It's basically a smart trainer/indoor bike combo but these are not cheap by any means and are not the route you would take if you are on a tight budget as they are well over $2K+.
