Howdy!

Getting ready for the end of the season here and I found a good deal on the Tacx Vortex Smart. The deal is from Europe (Bike24) so I'm wandering if all I will have to do is find a North America plug, like is this trainer dual voltage or do I need a full transformer?

Also since I know very little about those smart trainers I want to make sure : with the firmware update I will be able to use Zwift or Trainer Road and the apps will adjust trainer resistance on the fly?

Thanks much :beer:

Friend of mine just got one from the same place, arrived yesterday. The cord is detachable and he used an old printer cord and that worked. He hasn't used it with Zwift yet but will in the next day or two so should be able to confirm then. He did have to update the firmware and that went without a hitch.
