Wahoo Fitness KICKR 2018 Direct Drive Smart Power Trainer

Season:2018

Brand:Wahoo Fitness

Code:WFBKTR118

The Wahoo Kickr has been steadily eating into the market share of its rivals since its introduction. Last year saw improvements to the unit for quieter operation - something that any indoor cyclist or partner, neighbour or pet of said, appreciates. This year, Wahoo Fitness have gone a step further with improved belt and internals, to deliver a virtually silent indoor smart trainer, that is guaranteed to please both the user and their nearest and dearest. It's not overselling it either, it is genuinely the quietest Smart trainer out there and rivals like the Tacx Neo are hardly loud.

For 2018, Wahoo have utilised a specially designed, heavier flywheel to better replicate road feel through more exact inertia. The KICKR is a powerful, accurate, and responsive trainer. You will enjoy power measurement accuracy within +/- 2% and fast communication between the trainer and whatever virtual training app you're using. When your pixelated avatar is grinding through it's virual world, the transitions between descents, flats, and climbs are smooth, and the maximum measurable watts and simulated grade are 2,000 and 20%, respectively. These limits border on ridiculous for us mere mortals, but they mean your training sessions have virtually no ceiling unless you're riding a simulation of Flanders on a motorized e-bike. Indoor training is never ideal, but the KICKR's optimized algorithm helps bridge the seasonal cycling divide by making riding inside feel that much more like riding outside. Pairing the new KICKR with KICKR CLIMB will allow you to experience physical ascents and descents while riding along with virtual courses and performing structured workouts allowing you to get the most out of your indoor sessions.

The trainer's firmware with an enhanced power algorithm continuously reads and adjusts the massive electromagnetic brake. If this isn't your first Wahoo rodeo, then you're probably familiar with the brand's updateable design ethos; the change to the KICKR's power measurement design brings it more in line with this attitude, and it means that the KICKR is an investment rather than just a temporary stop-gap until ANT+ and Bluetooth are replaced by the next hot thing.
 
The KICKR's ease of updating may also be why Wahoo claims it's compatible with more training apps than any other smart trainer. No matter how many new tech startups decide they want to get in on the virtual training market, the KICKR will always be able to gobble up some firmware and leave you basking in the postprandial glow of a screen displaying your preferred app. It also broadcasts via ANT+ and Bluetooth signals simultaneously, and it can communicate with multiple devices through either protocol, so the only real limit to your choice of connections is the number of available power outlets.
 
With a claimed weight of 22kg, the robust, stable body is largely unchanged—though Wahoo did find space for a few key updates to address common themes in customer feedback. The first and most obvious is the repositioned handle, which now makes for a more centered load while carrying it with one hand. The KICKR is still no lightweight, but the handle design lets you carry the trainer in one hand and a rear wheel-free bike in the other—though navigating doorways may still be an issue. Navigating different wheel sizes isn't, though, as the blue support arm adjusts to reposition the cassette accordingly. There's also no need for a riser, though some of us do prefer one in order to protect floors from tyre scuffs.
 
The unit's final updates remain purely aesthetic details like a pair of LEDs—red for ANT+ and blue for Bluetooth—that blink while establishing a connection to a device and shine steadily to indicate transmission. Again, this feature doesn't change how the thing works, but lights are cool, and we like seeing them on our tech toys. Wahoo also relocated the power port from its hiding place beneath the unit to a more readily accessible location. The new KICKR now accommodates 130/135mm QR,12x142 and 12x148mm thru-axles and the Kickr has ample room for disc and flat mount brakes. Better still - the adapters are now included as is the Shimano/SRAM 11 speed cassette for use straight out of the box. Campag compatibility is possible either with the purchase of a freehub body to fit - or, if you run 11 speed - you can simply stick with the supplied cassette since the pitch is the same.
