“After decades of no frills ‘dumb’ trainers this reviewers first ‘smart’ direct drive trainer. A smooth transition! Mechanical set up: a generous supply of rear axel adaptors. Older frame? Play around with confidence. Provide power and you’re good. App download without unexpected surprises. Control of trainer such that you can happily live without a virtual world while you make your choice between Wahoo’s own offerings or third party providers. Integration with rest of Wahoo eco-system (gps units, sensors) VERY convenient.
A welcome tool kit that gets out of your way and lets you get on with training and riding. Does not constantly demand attention BUT will happily provide the metrics you want to pay attention to. Also: super silent & smooth. Very happy, no regrets.”
“This is my second Wahoo Kickr Core have to replace the old one after 2 years. The bearing is making lots of noise. So probably not the most reliable but is functional.”
