Tacx T1000 Antares Tacx has been making pro-standard rollers since 1972. Perhaps inspired by a new wave of interest in track racing, post-2008 Olympics, Tacx has revisited the concept and produced their best ever set of rollers. When riding on rollers, you have to balance and pedal the bike to keep it upright - just like you do on the road. Riding rollers encourages you to adopt a smooth consistent cadence (AKA revs per minute). That's why, as well as improving fitness, riding rollers does wonders for your balance and control. That's why rollers have always been a favourite choice of generations of track riders. And that's why they have also been adopted by a new generation of riders from mountain bikers to stunt riders to fixie wonks. With its heavy conical rollers the Tacx Antares delivers a consistent smooth workout. These conical rollers are easier to balance on than first-generation rollers so you're less likely to ride or fall off the rollers. Tacx T1000 Antares rollers collapse down to 80 cm / 31.5 inches long for compact storage.
