I was pushing through some sweet spot intervals, and I started to notice a belt burning smell.

I wasn’t sure what happened with my unit. I am not paid by any of these companies and don’t intend to get paid by any of them to continue to provide you with my honest opinion.

If you read any of my reviews, I like to put the trainers under real training scenarios to see how they perform under real stress and give you my honest opinion. The testing didn’t go as planned and the unit failed around the 50-minute mark. I received mine after Christmas, which I purchased to test for the purpose of a review on this site. When Tacx announced the Flux as a direct-drive trainer with a price point that is few hundred dollars cheaper than any other direct drive trainer on the market, it had a real potential to take a substantial market share from the KICKR and possibly their own Tacx NEO.Īfter few delays in production, Tacx didn’t start shipping the Flux until late November. The Tacx Flux was one smart trainer I was looking forward to testing. UPDATE OCTOBER 30th, 2017: Flux fixed the issue with its faulty units and here is my full review of the Tacx Flux
