Indoor training concentrates sweat on your frame's top tube and stem rather than letting airflow evaporate moisture the way outdoor riding does. Salt-laden perspiration sitting on aluminum handlebars, carbon fiber top tubes, and steel stem hardware creates corrosion pathways that outdoor bikes rarely see. Headset bearings collect drips from stem interfaces, bar tape adhesive degrades from constant moisture exposure, and electronic shifter buttons accumulate salt residue that interferes with function. The Sweat Set from Tacx addresses bike protection and rider comfort through a frame-mounted cover and training towel designed for stationary sessions where perspiration becomes problematic.

The sweat cover uses absorbent mesh fabric that drapes over your handlebars and top tube, catching drips before they reach metal surfaces. Hook-and-loop elastic straps mount the cover in seconds and fit road, mountain, and gravel bike geometries without frame-specific sizing. The straps wrap around handlebars and loop around the seatpost, creating tension that holds the cover flat against the top tube where sweat accumulates most heavily. A transparent pocket on top holds smartphones up to 138mm long and 68mm wide, keeping your device accessible for app control while the clear window protects the screen from sweat splatter. The touchscreen remains fully functional through the film, letting you adjust resistance or check power data without removing the phone.

The included towel measures 115cm by 30cm in highly absorbent terry material, sized for draping around your neck or across handlebars during recovery intervals. The compact dimensions work for indoor training spaces where full bath towels take up too much room, while the absorbency handles heavy sweat output from threshold efforts and VO2 max intervals. Professional riders use this towel during warmups and structured indoor sessions, keeping it within reach for face-wiping between efforts.... Read More
