"The best entry-level direct-drive trainer on the market" – Save 10% on the Kickr Core 2, plus get a free £80 Zwift mat
Zwift’s ‘Get Set For Indoor Season’ deal offers significant savings on the smart trainer our Tech Editor sees as having almost no flaws
As the evenings grow darker and winter training ramps up, Zwift is rolling out fresh savings for anyone looking to dial in their indoor pain cave.
For a limited time, you can secure 10% off the standout Wahoo Kickr Core 2 and bag a complimentary Zwift training mat worth $79.99/£79.99/€89.99 to complete your space.
Shop the Wahoo Kickr Core 2 with FREE Zwift Training Mat Bundle.
Zwift’s ‘Get Set For Indoor Season’ offer brings the trainer and mat bundle down to $494.99/£449.99/€494.99, saving you $134.99/£129.99/€144.99 compared to buying both items separately. Depending on your territory, that works out to over 20% off total.
If you would rather skip mounting your outdoor frame entirely and step into an all-in-one setup, Zwift’s 10% discount on the dedicated Zwift Ride V2 smart bike bundle is still live.
This Zwift promotion ends Monday, November 16.
The Wahoo Kickr Core 2 with Zwift Cog and Click is our recommendation for anyone looking for a budget-friendly indoor setup and who wishes to use their own bike.
The FREE Zwift training mat is a bonus, and this thick PVC mat reduces trainer vibration noise and is water-resistant, keeping floors clean and scuff-free.
The Wahoo Kickr Core 2 hits the sweet spot for indoor training by bringing flagship-tier features down to a far more accessible price point. Its biggest upgrade is built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, which eliminates frustrating Bluetooth/ANT+ dropouts.
It delivers a realistic road feel, near-silent operation, 1,800-watt resistance, and precise 2% power accuracy, and gives you everything you need for serious training or virtual racing without paying a top-tier premium. To quote Tech Editor Aaron Borrill, a World Champion Esports racer himself, it is quite simply "the best entry-level direct-drive trainer on the market".
