Review of Tacx Antares Professional Training Rollers

Review by Bicycles Mark 28th June 2011, 10:09I love my Tacx Antares Rollers!

The good:

I switched from the turbo to the Tacx Antares mid-way through last winter and I wish I'd done it sooner. The first thing they did was to put some excitement back in to indoor training... the first couple of sessions were terrifying! But as with most things it's all a matter of confidence and whilst I still have to concentrate I can now get out of the saddle and drink without stopping! These things may seem irrelevant but between the bike handling and the learning to spin my legs rather than grind them I'm going faster than ever. The Tacx Antares are perfect for the job: robust but light and they telescopically compress for storage. They really are great kit.

The bad:

None really - they are a bit higher than some other models but I didn't notice it after the first few sessions.
