How the Tacx NEO Bike Series Fans Respond During Use

The fan speed adjustments on the Tacx NEO Bike Series can be set in the Tacx Training app. You may notice that with the fan speed set to Level: High and Controlled by: Heart Rate, the fan speed responds to your heart rate level by either increasing or decreasing in speed or by stopping completely. 

How Do Speed/Heart Rate/Power Values Affect the Fan Speed?

The descriptions below help lay out the specifics of how the fan speed will respond to different user inputs depending on the setting. The fan speed is linear and will not switch between low, medium, and high. Depending on which setting you have the fan speed set to, low/medium/high, there is a minimum and max value for each input of Speed, Power, and Heart Rate. Below the minimum value, the fan remains off (or goes to minimum speed). Above the maximum value, the fan remains at the max fan speed. Chose one of the options below to reveal details.


Power

When you choose for fan speed to be controlled by the power you output during training, the fan speed will adjust on a linear scale based on the following parameters.

  • Fan Speed High: 50 – 250 watts

  • Fan Speed Medium: 100 – 400 watts

  • Fan Speed Low: 100 – 500 watts


Speed

When you choose for fan speed to be controlled by the speed at which you ride during training, the fan speed will adjust on a linear scale based on the following parameters.

  • Fan Speed Medium: 10 – 35 km/h

  • Fan Speed Low: 15 – 50 km/h


Heart Rate

  • Fan Speed High: 80 – 130 bpm

  • Fan Speed Medium: 100 – 160 bpm

  • Fan Speed Low: 120 – 180 bpm


Fixed

When you choose for fan speed to be fixed, the fan speed will depend on which of the four fan speeds you choose in the app; Off, Low, Medium, or High. In this Fixed mode, the fan speed will not adjust during your ride in response to a change in power, speed, or heart rate.
