I'm looking for a first turbo trainer, but I think I will need Zwift capability to keep me motivated.
The Tacx Flow is currently £189 at Halfords, which seems a good deal.
Is it any good? Are there better alternatives at the £200 price point?
Any advice gratefully received!
cheap build and a bit flexy but most cost effective way to get a smart trainer.
you'll need to budget for an ant+ dongle as well unless your on mac.
Cheers, I'm not a big or strong chap by any means so hopefully flexing won't be too much of an issue.

I bought one just before Christmas as the reviews on the Tacx Flow seemed mixed. Very happy with the trainer, hooked up with Zwift no problem.
Don't forget your 10% BC discount at Halfords, you almost cover the membership with the savings on this purchase alone. 😉
ANT+ dongle at Amazon for ~£10, Amazon Basics USB3 extension cable for ~£6.
Nearly bought the Flow before Xmas after the price drop, but decided to treat myself to an Elite Direto after getting a good deal from PBK, now I'm not ill I can start using it again! 😆
Had mine nearly 2 years (Tacx Flow T2240) and been very happy with it. Can't notice any issues, and why pay more for a smart trainer ?
Works well with Zwift.
