Garmin · Tacx® Indoor Cycling
The Garmin Tacx® Alpine is a gradient simulator built to bring real elevation changes into indoor training. Designed to work exclusively with the latest Tacx smart trainers, it raises and lowers the front of the bike to mirror virtual roads from up to 25% and down to −10%.
With a dynamic fork mount and an integrated motion base, Tacx Alpine adds movement and steering input for a more engaging ride when paired with compatible apps. It suits riders building fitness on Road, Gravel, or MTB setups who want stable, responsive climbing and descending feel, plus straightforward setup guided through the Tacx Training™ app.
Tacx® Alpine adjusts the front of the bike to match virtual terrain, simulating climbs from up to 25% and descents down to −10%. With an Accuracy (+/-) of 0.1% incline, it helps indoor sessions better reflect the changes in position and effort that come with real elevation.
A dynamic fork mount enables smooth, real-time steering input by rotating the handlebars for a more interactive ride in compatible apps. Steering angle is provided as the output, adding another layer of control to training that goes beyond simply following the grade.
An integrated motion base adds natural, smooth, responsive movement while riding. Built for stability and comfort, it’s intended to support hard efforts both seated and out of the saddle, while also helping riders feel more confident during simulated descents.
Design
Built to stay smooth and quiet while it works, Tacx® Alpine is engineered to respond automatically to virtual grade changes when used as part of a compatible indoor setup. Its stable design supports hard climbing efforts and controlled descending, helping training sessions feel more like riding outdoors. Dimensions are 18.7" x 12.4" (475 x 316 mm) with a Height of 29.6" (753 mm) and a Weight of 24 lbs (10.9 kg); see the specifications below for full details.
Training
Setup is designed to be simple out of the box, with step-by-step guidance available in the Tacx Training™ app. Calibration can be done with a button press or through the Tacx Training app, making it easy to get ready to ride.
