a motor against back wheel matches resistance to the virtual or filmed terrain that appears on your laptop.
anyone got one? pricey but not soooo pricey against the cost of a bike and just the thing to treat winter blues!
. no doubt it's the software that will be a crazy price.Or maybe you have to climb ventoux first.

    I've had my Fortius for a couple of years now and still love it.

    The software is included in the price, but what you ned to factor in is a good spec PC and a decent monitor on top of the unit cost.

    I trained on the Mont Ventoux program and was within 5 minutes when I rode it in real life, so it's a pretty good representation.

    It does have it's foibles, but there is good support from Tacx and most issues can be sorted out with the knowledge of people on the Tacx forum.
