Tacx NEO 2 compatibility
Tacx · Direct drive · Discontinued
Quick answer
The Tacx NEO 2 accepts 130 mm quick-release, 135 mm quick-release, 12 × 142 mm thru-axle and 12 × 148 mm Boost thru-axle, ships with a Shimano/SRAM HG (HyperGlide) freehub, and supports Shimano/SRAM HG (HyperGlide), SRAM XD Driver Body, SRAM XDR Driver Body and Campagnolo. No cassette is included — fit your own or buy a matching one.
Before you order an adapter
The thru-axle adapters are included in the box.
Tacx built two axle designs. Pre-Q4-2019 “Type 1” units need the separate 010-13143-00 / T2835 adapter kit for 12 × 142 and 12 × 148; later “Type 2” units take your own thru-axle directly. The two kits are not interchangeable, and replacement freehub bodies are Type-specific as well, so check which unit you have before ordering either part.
12 × 100 mm is a front-wheel axle, not a rear one: a modern rear axle is 12 × 142 mm, or 12 × 148 mm on a Boost mountain bike.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. The Tacx NEO 2 supports 12 × 142 mm thru-axle, 12 × 148 mm Boost thru-axle. The thru-axle adapters are included in the box.
The Tacx NEO 2 ships with a Shimano/SRAM HG (HyperGlide) freehub and supports Shimano/SRAM HG (HyperGlide), SRAM XD Driver Body, SRAM XDR Driver Body and Campagnolo. Non-included bodies are sold separately.
No — you fit your own cassette (reuse a spare wheel’s or buy one matching your drivetrain speed).
No cassette: you fit your own or buy one. The freehub body already on it is Shimano/SRAM HG (HyperGlide). Axle hardware in the box covers 130 mm quick-release, 135 mm quick-release, 12 × 142 mm, 12 × 148 mm Boost. Sold separately, if you need it: SRAM XD Driver Body, SRAM XDR Driver Body, Campagnolo.
Yes — a SRAM XD and SRAM XDR freehub body is available for the Tacx NEO 2 (sold separately unless it ships with one).
No — there is no Shimano Micro Spline freehub body for the Tacx NEO 2, so a Shimano 12-speed MTB cassette (XTR, XT, SLX, Deore) will not fit. It takes Shimano/SRAM HG (HyperGlide), SRAM XD Driver Body, SRAM XDR Driver Body and Campagnolo instead.
Yes — a Campagnolo freehub body is available for the Tacx NEO 2.
Yes — the Tacx NEO 2 supports virtual shifting, but the hardware is a separate purchase: a Zwift Cog replaces the cassette and a Zwift Click or Play does the shifting. Virtual shifting arrived in a firmware update, so it works only once the trainer is updated — on the firmware it shipped with, a Zwift Click does nothing and the Cog stays in one gear.
The Tacx NEO 2 is discontinued — Tacx no longer sells it new. It still works with today’s training apps and used units are easy to find; its compatibility (axle standards, freehub options, cassette) is unchanged from the specs above.
