In 1957, Koos Tacx opened a small bicycle shop. Years later, with the help of his family and his great passion for bicycles, Koos Tacx managed to turn the small shop into a large company – a leader in the production of bike trainers. Today, Tacx trainers are an integral part of the preparation of the biggest cycling teams, amateur cyclists, and athletes. The company holds a central place in the world of cycling, knows everything about cycling problems, and provides solutions for them. The passion for the sport is the key to a successful business. Whichever member of the Tacx team you talk to, you will immediately feel their passion for cycling and Tacx products. They are a close-knit team united by the idea of better quality and innovation.
All Tacx products are manufactured exclusively at their headquarters in the Netherlands. The drive for constant innovation and improvement is in the team's blood. Ideas for new products can be realized, tested, and improved extremely quickly. The path from Tacx's drawing boards to distribution in stores is very short. Tacx is an extremely fast-adapting company. Their trainers can provide you with the usual information about speed, power, heart rate, and cadence, as well as virtually transport you to one of the major cycling races.
The world and technology are developing extremely fast. In response to this, Tacx surprises us once again. In 2015, Tacx launched sales of the so-called Smart trainers, which connect via Ant+ and Bluetooth and therefore can link to devices of all kinds. In 2016, Tacx is expected to release the first true direct drive, as well as the use of an open protocol, which will allow the trainer to be controlled by third parties.
