From racing snakes to weekend warriors, indoor bike training has become a crucial part of every cyclist’s toolkit. Whether you’re dodging the heat, escaping the rain, or simply fitting in a ride between meetings, the right indoor trainer can keep you on track no matter the conditions outside.

Garmin’s Tacx range of indoor trainers caters to a wide spectrum of needs, from simple roller systems to immersive smart bikes that mimic the feel of the open road. Here’s how to choose the model that best fits your cycling goals and experience:

Just Getting Started

Building Balance and Technique

If you’re refining your form or working on balance, the Galaxia roller trainer offers a more natural ride feel. Its patented swing system helps absorb sudden accelerations or changes in pace, keeping you stable throughout your session. When you’re done, it folds away easily.

Prefer a simpler roller setup? The Antares shares the same compact storage benefits but forgoes the swing mechanism, making it a straightforward tool for cadence and balance work.
