Older generation Tacx trainers were designed for bikes with quick release rear axles. Newer production trainers made a running change to fit either quick release or thru-axle bikes. Garmin describes the change to the Tacx Neo series trainers as Type 1 or Type 2 axles.

Wow. I had no idea the New Cog + Click V2 kit for TACX comes with the TACX freehub installed. I got the new kit just because the Click V2. I have a Cog V2 purchased before Sep 9th already installed in my NEO 2T. At $49, this is a steal. Just the TACX freehub alone from Garmin is $80. I think I’m going to purchase one more to keep as spare lol.
