Tired of boring indoor training during the long, cold winter? Tacx offers a solution with I-Magic–their virtual reality trainer. I-Magic connects to your PC using a USB interface and handlebar mounted controls. Its built with an electromagnetic resistance system that meticulously emulates your road riding experiences. You actually sense the rolling air and gradient resistances. Check out the following features of this unique training tool.(Shipping 24.50)

Minimum PC requirements: Pentium IV processor 512MB Ram 850MB of free disc space DirectX9 compatible 3D card with 128MB memory DVD drive (required for Real Live Videos)

Training software (included) The Catalyst training software offers fitness tests and training programs focusing on power, heart rate and gradient work. The Analyser software analyzes your training data and displays the results using tables and graphs displayed on your PC. Non-coded HRM transmitter required for HR function.

Animated terrains (included) I-Magic provides virtual cycling in three different animated terrains: Atlantis, where you cycle along boulevards and through rolling meadows and farmlands; Callisto, a mountain bike course that takes you through the woods and across a technical hillscape with bends, descents and climbs; or Olympus, where you'll battle stiff mountain climbs, hairpin turns and scary descents. You'll compete against animated competitors with true-to-life movements as they rise from the saddle, change gears, shout, snivel and take spectacular falls. The fun is accentuated by an abundance of options including gender, team, clothing, and equipment (road or mountain). You can even choose your own weather conditions and their corresponding effects while cycling: wind direction, wind force, clear, cloudy, rain or fog.

Optional steering frame (sold separately) The steering frame enhances your interactive game experience by allowing you to steer through the animated courses using your handlebars, which are free to move on the trainer just as they would on the road. Each movement of the handlebars is visible on screen.

Real Life Videos (sold separately) These DVD's add another dimension to your training. Filmed on the roads of legendary race stages and cycling classics, Real Life Videos are uploaded, via a DVD player, to your computer and linked to your speed and braking action. When you cycle faster, the film plays faster. As you climb a gradient, you can really feel the resistance. Ride all over the world without leaving your home. A list of available rides is presented below. (Note: the steering frame is not functional with Real Live Videos.)
