Tacx Galaxia Rollers

The Tacx company started in 1957 as an ordinary cycle shop and has since become an innovative company with an unconditioned passion for the sport of cycling. The Tacx trainers are being used by the world's best Pro Teams and are the indispensable training mate for pros, amateurs and recreational cyclists in 54 countries.

'Tacx' has become a household name for cyclists all over the world. Riding the Tacx trainer is a way to improve power and fitness. When the weather is bad or during the cold winter months 'the Tacx' is always there to keep on training. Because a day without cycling is a day wasted.

You can cycle freely on these streamlined rollers and refine your coordination and technique in doing so. The heavy-duty tapered rollers ensure that it is almost impossible to ride off the machine. High concentration on steering is required when riding without a support brace. This reinforces your sense of balance. Just like the Galaxia, the Antares is collapsible. It measures only 80 cm when folded, making it easy to carry. Some cyclists keep finding it hard to ride without a restraint. They choose the Tacx Antares and use the support for Antares to secure the bike, without the front wheel, and still cover the mileage in front of them. This makes for completely natural movements. You keep pedalling from the hips, just as you would on the road or track. A high pedalling frequency, that is needed for the right feeling in the legs, is also possible.

These revolutionary Tacx rollers move with the rider. He can now sprint, stretch his legs and stand on the pedals without having to be afraid to fall. He can move more freely, because training on the Galaxia approaches the natural feeling of the road. Thanks to the kinetic energy that is created during accelerating, the trainer moves forward. When slowing down, the trainer moves backward again. This invention has been patented by Tacx. The Galaxia 'swing system' might look a little unsteady at first sight, but it has the opposite effect: thanks to this novelty the rider can stay on the rollers more easily. Many world-class riders don't go anywhere without their Tacx rollers. During their warm-up and training sessions they use the rollers to maintain their speed and suppleness, essential tools for a track cyclist. Road cyclists increasingly use the rollers to cool down after a race. The bike doesn't have to be attached to the trainer and the rollers run lighter so you can pedal more relaxed. This is ideal for a good cool-down after a long and strenuous exercise.
