Product Description

Real Life Video training in a different dimensionThere are now more than twenty films of legendary stages and cycling classics specifically for the Tacx Virtual Reality trainers When the films are linked to your Trainer your cycling speed impacts the speed of the film. If you are riding up a mountain in the film you will experience so much resistance from the brake that the incline is actually tangible. Starting this year the Real Life Videos are also available in wide screen, meaning that, with the help of your Virtual Reality steering frame, you can explore the course even more. You can veer left or right. This makes the experience of riding in the film even more dynamic.

I wish I knew that this will not play in a DVD player or computer. Unfortunately now I cannot return because the package is opened.

This review is from: Tacx Real Life Interactive Wide Screen Virtual Reality Bicycle Training DVD (Misc.)

While it is nice to be able to ride through a video of a real ride - to see the scenery - it is a lot worse for training than the VR rides because you can't ride against your own recorded rides or other riders. I would much prefer Tacx or other companies to make more VR rides than to record yet more of the real life video rides. If these were half the price, they might be a decent buy, but for the price, they aren't very much worth it.

1. You can't ride against yourself (pre-recorded past rides)

2. You can't ride against other riders over the net

3. When you go faster the video plays faster, but you NEVER pass a bike, a car, a walker... if the video recorded a walker go by the camera, no matter how fast you think you are going, the walker will always pass you and visa versa!

VR is 5 stars as concept, 4 stars in execution and 3 stars in the current variety available

Real Life Video is 5 stars in variety available, 2 stars in execution, and 1 star in price
