Reviews over the

Wahoo Kickr Core 2

Prompt delivery, connections with e.g. Zwift, Garmin, Trainer.......problem-free. Very quiet. You only hear the rattling of the chain. Top price performance.

Pros & Cons

Setting up the connection was super easy.

Very precise, especially on zwift

Set up in no time. There is a Wahoo app for it, but it works very poorly. Connecting to wifi is impossible, even though that is a selling point. App won't connect to wifi at first, then says it's connected. Zwift sees the wifi, but disconnects immediately/registers no data. So then old-fashioned with bluetooth. Zwift cog included and adapters for quick release and thru-axles, but no tools to remove the cog. Cog works nicely, by the way. It is definitely not realistic shifting, but it does what it is supposed to do. Furthermore, the kickr core works properly, gives a nice resistance and therefore you can use apps like Zwift to get through the winter nicely. For what it is (legs with a flywheel and a belt), I find it expensive. The whole thing is not adjustable, so your bike is not level. You then have to fix this yourself. Also, you soon have to use (paid) third-party software to get the most out of it. For that matter, the connection LEDs give little information and the app does not help to display the status either. In short, it is a fine device that does what it is supposed to do, but I find the ease of use and price-quality ratio far from satisfactory.
