Wahoo Fitness KICKR Core Smart Trainer, Black

Simple to set up and get running; there are plenty of videos on YouTube to help if you need it but it's pretty intuitive and the instructions are clear. Getting the most out of it depends to some extent on the software you pair it with but there seems to be no end of choice. The trainer itself is smooth and quiet. The resistance feels quite natural and there's more available than I'll ever manage! Stable in use.

Great smart trainer and connects to loads of apps. setup easy but you need the rear cassette off your bike.Zwift app is really good and connectss with all my apple goodies.

Amazing upgrade to my last trainer

£774.99 is much more expensive than every other retailer, I have asked Amazon to price match and they will not (£699.99 everywhere else).Great product, cr*p price!

Muy buen rodillo para intermedios

I can't ride outdoors in winters here in the northeast as it's just too cold, and even running got to be too unpleasant the older I got, so I decided to start riding indoors on a trainer. I had an old and very basic wheel-on "dumb trainer", but it was noisy and clunky and resistance couldn't be controlled so it wasn't suitable for everyday use, so I decided to get a direct drive smart trainer, and ended up choosing the Core because it was the least expensive one I found that was well-regarded.And I'm so happy that I did. It's very easy to set up, both initially and before each training session, folding up nicely and storing well between uses. Installing a cassette was no different from installing a cassette on a wheel, and I already had all the necessary tools as I do all my bike maintenance. Same with connecting the bike to it, takes just seconds, especially since I keep the rear wheel off between uses since I don't ride outside in winter. Then it's just plug in the adapter, fire up whatever app you're using (I mostly use Zwift but also Rouvy and MyWhoosh), pick an event, race, workout or route, and off you go.Which brings me to the main point, that actually using it is such a pleasure. It's really quiet, much quieter than the drivetrain and even fan, and with a mat shouldn't cause floor vibrations at all (I use a single interlocking foam mat from a set of 4 I got at Harbor Freight for under $10), and the feel is super-smooth and refined, like riding on fresh blacktop, and is as smooth as your drivetrain is (which you should of course keep cleaned and well-lubed and replace parts as needed). Resistance transitions due to changing virtual terrain or workout intensity levels are smooth as well, nothing jerky at all.I've already put in more than 300 miles on it and have absolutely no complaints. And it looks nice too! I just ordered Zwift's Play controllers (you can only buy them directly for $99) to be able to use their new virtual shifting feature, where you no longer have to physically shift and it's all done in software, resulting in smoother and quiet shifts and a wider range of gearing. I'll post an update when I've had a chance to use them for a while. They also allow you to steer, brake and interact with Zwift without having to use a mouse, keyboard or phone, which is awkward while riding.If you're looking to get into indoor cycling and prefer a direct drive trainer and don't want to spend too much, this is basically the only viable choice as Zwift has discontinued its line of trainers (you can find them on sale though as they sell out existing inventory and they promise to support them for at least a couple more years if you're willing to chance it), and they weren't quite as good as the Core. All other options are much more expensive and have features that most people probably don't need, like more precise power readings, higher max watts and incline (like most people will ever exceed 1800W or want to ride up a greater than 16% incline), and forward or side to side movement.Just get it. You won't regret it.

Simple to set up, well made.

Wow

Er ist einfach Zusammengebaut, schnell mit Zwift gekoppelt und ein Mega Gaudi.
