Tacx Cycling app

Train on the Tacx with an iPad

The Tacx Cycling app makes it possible to train with a tablet computer. Genius, Bushido and Vortex riders with a tablet can now train using this free app, developed for the iPad. The Tacx Cycling app contains a simplified version of the Catalyst training software, the Analyser and Real Life Video to play Tacx films.

Catalyst
Professional training programs and fitness tests for a scientific analysis of your training session. Train on heart rate, power output or slope. Follow your development and become a better rider step by step.

Analyser
Analyser presents the recorded training data on the screen of the tablet. Your performance is displayed in a graph.

Tacx films
Cycling in a Tacx film makes a training session more enjoyable and adventurous. The speed of the film is influenced by your cycling pace. If you are cycling up a mountain, the brake of your trainer will generate so much resistance that you can actually sense the percentage of incline. A demo film from the Mont Faron, Toulon in France is included. In the Tacx Cycling app you will find a list of all film titles that have been developed specifically for the app. These have a distance of about 30 km.

Note: The Tacx download films for the Tacx Trainer software and the Tacx films for the Cycling app cannot be combined with each other. The films for the Tacx Trainer software can be ordered via the Tacx Online shop. The films for the Tacx Cycling app can be ordered via the app itself.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS


Important notice

With this release of TCA 3.0.7, Tacx will permanently discontinue the maintenance and support of this product. This is why the purchase of new films within TCA is now disabled.

All your previously purchased films, however, will stay available for download and will continue to work.

Please note that the TCA will keep working after January 2020, and will probably keep on doing so for a long time, but Tacx will not develop new features and can no longer guarantee its operation after this date.

The reason why we discontinue the app is that we developed a new and improved alternative: The Tacx Training App (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tacx-training-app/id892366151). With this app you can enjoy unlimited use of our full film library, GPS- & structured workouts and live opponents.

System requirements: iPad 3, iPad 4, iPad Air en iPad Mini Retina.

For use with Tacx ANT+ compatible trainers (i-Genius, i-Genius Multiplayer, Genius, Genius Multiplayer, i-Vortex, Vortex & Bushido) in combination with a Wahoo ANT+ dongle.
The Tacx Cycling app is not compatible with the Garmin ANT+ dongle.

The Bushido or Vortex handlebar computer and Genius handlebar interface are not required during use.

Note: For the iPad 4, iPad Air and iPad Mini, an additional adapter is required for the Wahoo dongle. It can be purchased via the Apple Store
