Our choice for an all-round indoor bike trainer
The Wahoo Kickr Core 2 is the best choice for both the beginner Zwifter and the seasoned Watopian! The heavy flywheel and resulting smooth resistance transitions make it feel like you are just cycling outside. The maximum wattage of 1800 watts is more than enough for most cyclists, and allows you to execute your training to perfection!

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

  • Automatic calibration saves time and ensures consistent performance.
  • The direct drive offers a realistic ride experience and minimal rolling resistance.
  • Multi-colour LED indicators provide clear feedback on connection and status.
  • The flywheel and KICKR technology simulate smooth acceleration and braking for accurate training feedback.
  • Compared to smaller models, this trainer is relatively heavy but this increases stability during hard efforts.
  • The 11-speed cassette that is included as standard cannot be used for bikes with a 12-speed drive.

A simple, effective purchase with no regrets.

- AntoineB 12 September 2026

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.

5 / 5

A quiet, stable and precise exercise bike, particularly suited to structured ERG training sessions

- Samir 31 August 2026

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.
