Hi Carl,

Not sure I am seeing what you are seeing. Maybe I am overlooking something.

Here are the measurements from the article for the Neo. It shows both metric and (standard measurements)

Footprint (lxw) 575×750mm (22.6×29.5in)
Height 550mm (21.7in)
Dimensions when folded 620×260×440mm (24.4×10.2×17.3in)

Hi Jordi,

The only difference is the 2018 model should come with a different hub, which is much easier to maintain over the EDCO hub.

“starting January 2018 Tacx is replacing the EDCO body in the NEO trainer with a new body that fits all Shimano and SRAM cassettes. Campagnolo cassettes require another body, and should be available starting in February 2018 on the Tacx website. The EDCO body is what cassettes are mounted to. You will be able to tell if your trainer has the new bodies by looking at the box the NEO comes in. Above the barcode will be written “2018”, which will indicate the NEO has the new Shimano/SRAM body.”

Your observations about the Tacx vs the KICKR are exactly what I have experienced. I also haven’t had a chance to ride the KICKR climb. I have seen people ride it, but I didn’t try it yet.

Hey Jason,

Yep that was my observation as well. Sometimes I wish I could turn off the road simulation during a ride if I just want to spin and keep my cadence high. I notice a lot when riding in Richmond on Zwift. There is a section that is cobblestone and my cadence definitely drops because it requires more power to maintain the same speed.
