Tarmac Trainer vs RydX

Tarmac Trainer: Real Roads, Indoors Ride real roads on your smart trainer. Climb England's Box Hill, circle Richmond Park or take on the whole Pacific Coast Highway in 3D, race ghost riders, and follow structured workouts that set your trainer's resistance for you. Ride Real Roads in 3D Routes are built from real terrain, so the gradient you see is the gradient you feel: beech woods on Box Hill, parkland in Richmond, redwoods and ocean views on the Pacific Coast. Prefer a map? Switch views any time. Race Your PR, the KOM and Other Riders Ghost riders show exactly where you stand: your personal best, the KOM and your last attempt on every climb, and riders who have ridden the road ahead of you on long routes. Real Climbs from Strava Ride the Strava segments you've starred, your saved Strava routes and Tarmac's most popular climbs, with leaderboards and your PRs. Save your rides to Strava with one tap. Workouts That Set Your Power A library of structured workouts for endurance, sweet spot, threshold and recovery. Your smart trainer holds each interval's target for you, and one tap makes the whole session easier or harder.
