Wahoo Fitness KICKR CORE Power Trainer

Season:2024

Brand:Wahoo Fitness

Code:WFBKTR4

Wahoo have steadily been gaining ground in the Smart trainer market since their inception, with plenty of very happy #wahooligans taking to Zwift et al for their training and winter riding. However, aside from their SNAP, the KICKR was the only Direct Drive trainer on their books. A thousand quid is a bit of a stretch for some looking to invest in a Smart Trainer, and the likes of Tacx's smaller FLUX direct drive smart unit definitely affected Wahoo's reach last season. 

To remedy this and in a bid to capture and craft more #wahooligans, Wahoo have launched their new KICKR CORE. The KICKR CORE is - to all intents and purposes, a little KICKR - so much so that Wahoo may have created a bit of a double edged sword.

The new KICKR CORE shares a host of tech from the KICKR 2018 - so much so, it is actually easier to deal with the differences first. The most obvious difference is the look of the unit. The legs of the KICKR CORE are a simplified design and the handle is absent. That said, the CORE is super stable and relatively easy to carry since it is around 3kg lighter than the KICKR 2018. Also missing is the height adjustment found on the flagship model though this is unlikely to trouble you.

The other major difference is that the CORE doesn't come supplied with a cassette so you have the option to either buy a new one or rob one from an existing wheel - either way, it's a relatively small consideration when taken in context with the overall price.

In terms of specification differences, the KICKR CORE uses a 12lb/5.5kg flywheel and has a maximuum simulated gradient of 16% and a max power of 1800w versus the 16lb/7.3kg, 20% and 2200w of the KICKR 2018. In real terms, the max power is little to worry about unless you're at an elite level and if you have no desire to climb 16+% gradients (and who does?!) you won't be missing much.

While the KICKR CORE ably fills the gap in the company's trainer offering, it may be a problem for Wahoo in affecting its KICKR sales, it's that good! The CORE effectively uses the upgraded belt and internals of the KICKR 2018 resulting in a similarly near-silent smart trainer. This is something that no other smart trainer at the price can boast. Aside from the maximum grade and power numbers and some different feet, in operation the KICKR CORE is not far removed from the KICKR and as you would expect with the same internals - it's just as accurate. Compatibility is the same too with the Kickr Core able to connect with the company's new HEADWIND and CLIMB accessories.

If you love your riding and want to keep your fitness up over the Winter but you have no desire to race at the upper echelons of the sport, the Kickr CORE is likely all you'll need and more besides. There will be some who simply have to have the flagship KICKR 2018 - and that's all good, but for most, you only need the CORE!

  • How much is said cassette?Do u sell them?
    Question asked by Donal on 18/07/2020 12:04:07
    Hi Donal,

    Cassettes range in price depending on number of speeds ie 10 / 11 / 12 (which you will need to match to those on your bike) and quality or range.
    If you search "cassette" on the site or use the menus you will see a range of options

    Thanks
