Tacx i-magic Trainer

The electromagnetic brake system closely simulates anything you would encounter on the road. So while cycling, rolling, air and gradient resistance is realistic and clearly perceptible -

you will immediately feel whether you are cycling on the road (asphalt), the track or on grass.

Set up

Calibration (insures the same power measurement each training, without calibration this could differ because of for example different tyre pressure)

Scale factor (customers who own an advanced power measurement system can adjust power with this scale factor, when power does not match 100%. Factor between 80 and 120)

Countdown (countdown before the training starts)

Language (English, German, Dutch, French, Spanish and Italian)

Weight (kg / lbs)

Distance, speed (kmh / mph)

Basic software settings like resolution, terrain detail etc.

Program settings

Steering (on / off)

Bicycle (3 race / 2 ATB)

Collisions (on / off)

Guide (on / off)

Training info (on / off)

Cyclists position (on / off)

Sound (on / off)

Heart rate (on / off)

Camera (eye / behind / above / tether / rotating)

Weather conditions. Wind direction, wind speed, sunshine, clear, cloudy, rain and mist

Male & female rider

Riders have aerodynamic positions, cheer, ride standing up, change gears, snivel, drink from their water bottles and make spectacular falls.

Different outfits (Rabobank, CSC, Liberty Seguros etc.)

Users It is possible to make teams, so you can add users to different teams.

CATALYST FUNCTIONS

The Catalyst is included in the Fortius. The virtual worlds are meant for fun. The Catalyst allows an Fortius user to train more serious. Basically, the Catalyst has the same functions as the Cosmos. The main difference is that the Catalyst is a software program which works on a personal computer. The Cosmos is a stand alone system.

The setup, users and opponents are the same as for the Fortius.

Training

It is possible to program your own training. Choose for a slope

power

or heart rate -based training. In each category you can choose for time or distance. This means you can make routes (up to 99), based on time or distance. For example, in a slope based training, you can make a route of 2 km and slope + 5. So you can make up to 99 routes with different slope / power / heart rate and different distance / duration.

Real Slope (between –5% and +20%, based on gradient in the real world)

Time (between 10 seconds and 60 minutes)

Distance (between 0,1 km and 99,9 km)

Power (between 10 Watt and 990 Watt)

Time

Distance

Heart rate (between 40 bpm and 230 bpm)

Time

Distance

Free training is also possible. When you choose for this, you can adjust slope / power during the training.

Functions All the training information (speed, cadence, power, heart rate) is showed in a graph and a bar diagram in the colour display. Besides that, the following information is showed under the graph:
