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.

Sturdy and reliable

- Frédéric 24 August 2026

I had no idea how a home trainer worked, but I’m pleasantly surprised. After a fairly straightforward set-up – apart from a few issues with the connection being a bit hit-and-miss (not sure if it’s down to the home trainer or the app) – the experience is really great. It responds well; you can really feel that it offers good resistance. The product is well-finished too (apart from the packaging). However, if you live in a flat, you’ll need to insulate it from the floor – I get the impression the vibrations might be audible.

Perfect for improving your skills and cycling in bad weather

- Teddy 17 August 2026

I’ve only used the Kickr Core 2 four times, but it seems very stable, compact and effective for improving my cycling and keeping fit this winter. After just an hour’s session, my legs ache more than they do after three hours on a bike! It really helps me work on my weak points and means I can cycle even in bad weather. But it won’t replace the pleasure of cycling through beautiful mountain scenery.

The best value for money on the market!

- Antoine 11 August 2026

No more of that aeroplane engine noise from my old tyre-based home trainer! With the Wahoo Kickr Core 2, the only sound in the living room is my heavy breathing as I tackle those virtual mountain passes! Mantel: My neighbours thank you... As for the setup: barely out of the box, it was assembled and connected via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi in 15 minutes flat. Absolutely hassle-free. On the bike, the smoothness is stunning and the flywheel delivers a truly realistic feel. The resistance adjusts with surgical precision. In short, a silent, ultra-precise and robust training partner that will turn winter training into a real pleasure! Buy it with your eyes closed.

Top-of-the-range, professional-grade equipment

- Prénom 20 June 2026

Please note that the Zwift Click+Cog is only compatible with the basic version of Zwift; you’ll need to buy an app (costing between 5 and 10 euros) to get the full benefit of it with Rouvy/MyWhoosh/...
