Wahoo Kickr smart turbo trainer review

The latest version of the Wahoo Kickr has improved ride feel thanks to a larger flywheel but is it enough to improve overall?

Cycling Weekly Verdict

Wahoo has improved the Kickr nicely and although it has a weight increase, thanks to good ergonomics and well placed weight it isn't that hard to move around. It also folds nicely to slot into a small space. It isn't totally silent and you still get a lot of gear noise but it is a good improvement over the previous model.
