From DC Rainmaker's review/first look: "Right now Tacx is estimating a price of ~2,500-3,000 Euros (or roughly $3,000-$3,500USD)."

It's not for everyone but some people might pay that much. I couldn't afford that price. Maybe 5 years from now when the price goes down and (hopefully!) my salary goes up.

I can see this being an option for households with multiple riders and or bikes(s). For example me and my girlfriend both ride road but only I have a power meter. This could give her to option throwing some bars, a saddle and pedals to get in some workouts with power a couple of times a week, specially during the winter.

I can also see someone with multiple bikes road, TT, track and even MTB being able to replicate each set up for key work outs without having to buy a power meter for each bike.

Just my two cents.

I'd expect to see a price change. It is not scheduled for release to mid/late 2018 so lots of time to evaluate the market and adjust. With the Neo going at around $1700, and same technology, we may see closer to 3000.

Anyone heard any more news on this thing?

Looks like a November release date. It looks like a nice piece of equipment.

I set mine up on Monday. Very impressed by the build quality. The virtual shifting/braking is interesting. You can set up pretty much any gearing combo you want.

My one and only nitpick: I replicated my road bike fit (Canyon Aeroad) as best I could. Stack, reach, saddle height, saddle offset from BB, etc. The front of my saddle is more or less even with my BB on my Aeroad. When I set up the Neo bike like that my reach ends up going beyond the max slider. I'm a smidge over 6' tall and don't ride with some crazy reach, above average probably but not an outlier position. So I had to move the seat back a couple of inches so that I wasn't at the end of the handlebar slider. So I can see someone taller than me, that rides with more reach having some issues with fit. That stated, Ray (DC Rainmaker) is about two inches taller than me and he's at about a 10 on the handlebar slider (judging from pics in his recent review) and I was at the beyond the max of 15 before moving my saddle back.

So to make the bike work, your saddle has to be -2 inches- further back than your normal position??? Isn't that pretty extreme change of position? I must be misunderstanding...

The reach is still the same, just the saddle offset from the BB is different.

OK, right. But isn't your position over the bottom bracket pretty important too??? You must feel like you are riding a super laid back road bike!
