The Garmin Tacx Nēra is a direct drive smart trainer built to connect seamlessly with Zwift, arriving with the Zwift Cog and Zwift Click shifter included. This pairing lets riders skip the usual cassette swap and get straight to indoor training, whether working through structured intervals or joining a group ride on the platform.
Riders who already use Zwift will appreciate the straightforward setup this trainer offers; the included Click shifter allows virtual gear changes right from the handlebar, keeping hands in place during a session. As a smart trainer, the Nēra communicates with training apps to adjust resistance automatically, supporting a range of workout styles from recovery spins to focused efforts.
KEY FEATURES
Built-in Motion Pods: Integrated pods let the bike move forward, backward, and side to side while pedalling, so the ride feels less locked in place than on a fixed trainer.
2,200-Watt Resistance: The trainer handles sprints up to 2,200 watts, giving sprinters and heavier riders plenty of headroom to push hard efforts.
20% Simulated Climbing: The trainer simulates grades up to 20%, so steep virtual climbs feel properly demanding underfoot.
Preinstalled Zwift Cog & Click: The preinstalled Zwift Cog and Zwift Click handle virtual shifting in Zwift and ROUVY straight out of the box, no cassette swap needed.
Wi-Fi & Multi-Protocol Connectivity: Onboard ANT+, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi, with Bluetooth bridging for heart rate sensors, keep pairing quick and data flowing smoothly to apps and bike computers.
Race Mode: A race mode gives a faster response to attacks and breakaways in virtual races, so efforts in group rides and events translate instantly to the pedals.
