What's that new trainer?

Evolution is a wonderful thing when it comes to technology. If engineers can improve a product to make our lives easier I am all for it. This is the case of the new Tacx trainer dubbed Bushido. The Bushido is the next generation of ergometer that is completely electronic while also being completely wireless. No cords to plug into the wall or into the computer. The unit generates its own power and converses via ANT to the control head and to your laptop. Cadence is even wireless, meaning there is no sensor to install on your bike! Simply, place your bike into the trainer, clamp it down, hop on and start riding. It's that easy.

Currently the unit is only available as a stand alone unit, meaning it can't connect to your laptop. However, good things come to those who wait and the wireless ANT stick is on the way. The exciting part of the system is the the integration with current Tacx software and Real Life DVD's. Want to find out more?
