Specifically, the following mechanical changes were done: However, this past spring Tacx started implementing a handful of changes into the Flux 1 units that would eventually serve as the basis for not just the Flux S but also the Flux 2 as well (which isn’t set to ship for a bit longer). Again, mostly related to QA issues in the manufacturing process to ensure the product was produced as actually designed. In the case of the Flux 1 which got off to a rocky start two years ago with manufacturing quality issues, there were a slew of changes made early in the cycle. Like most products, over time the manufacturing line has quietly introduced changes that make usually minor and largely unseen changes. The product you’re actually interested in today. And now, finally, the original Flux model will be discontinued, likely as making way for the Flux S. I say June, because that’s when most of the changes were incorporated into the product line. Even after that clarification it can remain confusing, as a 2018 Flux 1 manufactured in January will vary in comparison to one made in June 2018. As there’s actually a substantial difference internally between an original ‘2016 Flux 1’, and a new 2018 Flux 1. See, when I use the term ‘2018 Flux 1’, that in itself is confusing. As a Facebook relationship status might say: It’s complicated. But is it really that simple? Not entirely. Let’s be clear about this, the Flux S smart/interactive trainer is nothing more than an original 2018 Flux 1 with different legs. In the meantime, here’s what you need to know about the Flux S. I was able to poke at it during Interbike, and will definitely dive deeper into it later this fall. And one more thing: Unlike the Flux 2, it’s available now. So now you might ask “what’s the Flux S?” Well, in one sentence or less it’s basically a rebranded Flux 1 that has better support for long derailleur cages. It added a number of internal specs including accuracy and the ability to simulate steeper grades for heavier riders.

The Flux 2 was designed to be a beefier upgrade to the original Flux trainer that came out two years ago. The first Flux trainer was announced this past summer at Eurobike, the Flux 2. Last week at Interbike, Tacx announced the Flux S, making it the second Flux trainer announced in almost as many months.
