Garmin announced the Tacx Alpine cycling gradient simulator

Garmin^® International announced Tacx® Alpine, a gradient simulator that raises and lowers the front of a bike during an indoor ride to replicate climbs and provide more natural movement. Featuring an exclusive design that accommodates the motion of Tacx NEO 2T and 3M smart trainers, Tacx Alpine builds upon that powerful, immersive ride experience by mimicking grades from up to 25% and down to -10% and enabling steering1 to create a more realistic ride for cyclists as they virtually explore and train indoors.
