Wahoo Fitness

I use my Kickr Core v2 trainer with Rouvy software. I've had the trainer just over a month and have ridden about 400 miles. I purchased it $150 off the normal $550 price. The Kickr and Rouvy work flawlessly together. I did replace the Cog & Click gear with a standard Shimano 105 12-spd 11-34 cassette. I'm old school and struggled a bit with the Click for changing gears. It worked fine with a slight, about :01, delay between hitting the button on the Click and experiencing the change is resistant on the flywheel. I just could not find the buttons quickly and fluidly enough to fully mimic my road riding experience. The Kickr with the normal cassette fully mimics my road experience. The Kickr was very easy to assemble, and setting up wifi for access to Wahoo was pretty straightforward. I did have to download the Wahoo App, eventhough I already had the Wahoo Elemnt App, which was a little frustrating. After setup, downloading the latest software, and linking to Rouvy, it was good to go. The Kickr is very quiet, even with a standard cassette. The flywheel is very smooth and coasting is also very quiet. Overall, a great product that works just as advertised.

Easy to set up and pair with your phone. The Wahoo app gives you current, average and max HR, as well as a graph and GPS tracking & maps, plenty of stuff to geek out over. Very motivating for staying in the correct zone. Even though it's just heart rate only, for most people that is all the info they really need for $100 vs a $300 watch. It's already made a difference in my first workout, forcing me to stay in the zone the whole workout which I wasn't used to.

Great trainer. Nice and quiet. Got on sale from BTD. Switched from Elite Suito trainer that kept squeaking and creaking even after working with customer support and replacing frreehub body. I use either my Garmin head unit to control resistance or use Wahoo app. Free version of Wahoo app is a bit limited in terms of structured workouts. Had connectivity issue once but has resolved with refreshing the app. Overall very happy.

I am recovering from a knee surgery and wanted to upgrade from my old Saris wheel-on trainer that I used during the pandemic. The Kickr core is a step up... much more stable than the old school trainer. And it connects to all the apps out there and my Wahoo Roam without issue. It was offered at a good price. It didn't come with a cassette but that is easy to overcome with a parts bin find or a new cassette. Also, the bike I am using has a Campagnolo 11-speed drive train, and happily an 11-speed Shimano cassette seems to work just fine. As always, BTD offers quick shipping and great service. Ride on!
