The Wahoo Kickr Core remains one of the best smart indoor trainers and is used by many riders who use indoor cycling and racing to stay fit. Its popularity stems from the unit's reliability, durability, and relative accuracy, not to mention a price point that doesn't require a second mortgage. Having first launched in 2018, there’s a new model in town – the Kickr Core 2.
While it borrows a host of modcons from the range-topping Wahoo Kickr V6, the Atlanta, Georgia-based company has kept most of the design blueprint unchanged over the original Core, which is good for two reasons: it keeps the price down and retains the familiarity that made the original such a well-received and successful unit.
The new features have elevated the overall package, boosting perceived quality while maintaining the realistic, refined user experience that the Core platform has built its reputation on.
