A simple, effective purchase with no regrets.
I’m very pleased with my purchase – it’s my first exercise bike and I’m glad I put my trust in the reviews. He’s already started making progress and I think it’s going to continue.

Pros & Cons
5 / 5
A quiet, stable and precise exercise bike, particularly suited to structured ERG training sessions
The KICKR CORE 2 has fully met my expectations. Installation and pairing are straightforward, and the connection with my various devices and apps has proved reliable. The indoor trainer is particularly quiet and stable, offering a smooth and natural pedalling sensation. For structured training sessions, ERG mode is a real highlight: the resistance automatically adjusts to the power output required, allowing you to focus solely on your effort. The power measurement is consistent, and the resistance changes are responsive enough without making pedalling uncomfortable. After using it several times, I also appreciate being able to use it with both an indoor cycling app and a compatible GPS cycle computer, without necessarily needing a subscription. There are a few drawbacks: it takes up quite a bit of space when left installed, and the lack of a proper power switch means you have to unplug it to switch it off completely. Despite this, the build quality, quiet operation, stability and accuracy make it an excellent home trainer for regular training.
