The reviews generally take a lot of hours to put together, so it’s a fair bit of work (and labor of love). It tries to “simulate” overcoming your body weight (I assume) but very unpredictably. Recently (as in, last 6-8+ months), not very many complaints. Thanks. Sent data to DCR Analyzer, difference 0.8%. So I contacted Wahoo and they told me a wrong power control board was installed. I can drop a note here when it shows up again if folks are intersted. No power, cadence, or speed. Dennoch überzeugt er Profi-Tester wie Kunden mit geringer Geräuschentwicklung und angenehmen Laufeigenschaften. Compared to my Stages power meter (L only, used for years with no problems) the Kickr is very inconsistent: sometimes 20+ watts lower (typically warm up at 150 watts); sometimes 10+ watts lower (interval training 100 to 300 watts); sometimes the same (racing 250 watts). You’re saying that you ride outdoors and in Zwift with some of the same people? Here’s a look at a ride around Zwift’s Innsbruck course (data files here): In general, things look pretty darn close between the units for the vast majority of the workout. Dans le cadre du test du Wahoo Kickr, j’ai été en mesure de le comparer à un HT moyen de gamme avec rouleau (smart) et à un HT haut de gamme avec cassette intégrée (smart également). It really nails it in line with the power meters. Saving money while having the right trainer would be ideal. 2020 Core S/N 40201801240 My current unit no warranty added working smooth and perfect but for how long? They did note yesterday they’ve double the number of agents again late this week, which should help. Durchschnitt aus And then again after this e-mail this past week, with again the same expected date of later this month. I regularly change my race wheel between an 11-28 and a 12-25 without problems depending on whether I expect to see significant undulations or a flat course, for example (because I know the chain and derailleur were originally set for an 11-28). Tends to be early in the week most weeks. Dazu passend legt Wahoo die fünfte Generation seines beliebten Smarttrainers Kickr auf. Essentially, Wahoo had a gap in their lineup. Mit einem maximalen Widerstand von 1800 Watt ist er stark genug für nahezu alle Hobbyfahrer, Gleiches gilt für die Messgenauigkeit bei der Leistung ...“. I climbed a mountain yesterday and got 60 mph on the way back down and when I was done the trainer was too hot to touch and I could smell the belt being hot. A week from 2018 I get a Kicker 2018 (not the Core, which is a good detail on their part). The replacement was a newer serial number, again with the improved power block. The Wahoo website is not the easiest to maneuver, so I emailed them to be sure that I was ordering the right freehub for the Core. Verder is hij lekker stil en mooi compact. I cannot keep up with my real world group riders (similar strength) on zwift anymore, I’m getting dropped HARD and fast. However, one thing you’ll notice across all three sets is that purple line as I spin back down. I had an Elite Fluid trainer B+. During my 1 year warranty period I lost 4 months waiting for replacement units when I brought this up with Wahoo nothing was done. I’m headed to Washington DC – what do you recommend for training? I used to race “A” Group on Zwift now I’m getting dropped by the lead group in “B”. Thanks. When I added the Kickr Core, there appears to be interference. But wait, are you a female and feel like these things might not apply to you? If yes, how did you fix it? Wish I waited for stock of Elite units. It doesn’t cost you anything extra, but your purchases help support this website a lot. here’s my experience with Wahoo support, a bit different than yours. :( that sucks. Had my core since the end of 2018. You can save $300 with almost negligible ‘loss’ compared to the full KICKR 2018. Er ist auch deutlich umständlicher auszubalancieren, weil seine Füße nicht einzeln höhenverstellbar sind. How are you getting on with the Elite Direto? Simply bring the CLIMB’s little cabled remote down next to the KICKR and hold it down for pairing mode. If I buy a Kickr (core, snap, whatever) from a retailer and it’s faulty, the retailer has to make it good for me, and claim their recompense from Wahoo. Coming from a Tacx Flow Smart wheel-on trainer, I’m wondering if a Direct Drive trainer is that much harder to pedal even on flat roads in Zwift!? Their 877 line still says to email them with questions. I am even afraid to plug in the new one to see how it “burns” at the moment. You can see on the first sprint that the KICKR CORE seems to be the same as the others. Generally speaking, you’ll want to do this anytime there’s significant temperature shifts, or if you move the trainer. Turns out the Phillips Hue strip light must’ve been blocking it. While I believe that, now understanding the limits of the hardware, I could work around the Kickr Core’s flaw on a 3rd unit, that’s not a concession I’m willing to make for a $900 device. This was not one of those days. CORE is a medium trainer with great performance, NEO 2T is the top-of -line…comparations are a little unfair here. I’ll keep an eye out over the next few weeks and get my order in order when it shows up at one of those places. Die App findet ihr in jedem App Store ganz einfach, wenn ihr “Wahoo App” eingebt.

Here you can see TrainerRoad paired as an ANT+ FE-C trainer with Windows: And one last time, here’s said trainer in both Zwift and TrainerRoad, this time on my iPad via Bluetooth Smart: All of this worked without issues for me.

I wrote Wahoo and they automatically answered me to send a replacement. I just want to invest on this trainer as it is quite compared to wheel-on trainers as I live in an apartment and I am concerned about waking up neighbors in early morning. Had my first ride yesterday on the new Kickr Core. I would like to support DCR and enjoy ad-free DC Rainmaker ($20 per year). Just the way I work. Any chance you can place a phone on the ground against a coffee cup facing it and record for 15-30 seconds at different intensities? Read tons about it here. This is a super basic trainer mat, which is exactly what you'll see me use. That’s because you could (try) attaching the leg to the wrong side. I think Shimano’s new 1×12 stack is the same width as the 11 speed. Finally, when it comes to calibration (roll-down) you can do so via both the Wahoo Fitness app or most 3rd party apps like Zwift or TrainerRoad. Hi. I’m using a normal trainer with Vector 3 pedals but I really want to go smart and get erg mode. Yeah, there’s definitely a noise difference between those for sure – quite a bit. I am enclosing my outbox to them so you can see the emails I sent. I had the exact same issue after climbing the ADZ on the core. At the moment I’ve narrowed it down to Wahoo because I want the compatibility with the Kickr Climb.

Neither the mobile nor the tablet nor the garmin edge 1030 detect it. No response on April 13th, on the 20th I am told it is not until May that I will probably receive the product and as you can see, I emailed them (after calling) on Tuesday (12th) and Thursday (14th). No issues. this one does turn on the LEDs and is detected by both the phone and the tablet as well as the edge 1030, but NOT the speed sensor, with which it is completely useless. They are not severe, but I’m not sure it’s “normal”. During my 8th or so ride, while taking off an outer layer after warming up, the trainer stopped transmitting speed and power. Today I heard from WAHOO. I have a 2012 Cervelo R5 VWD with SRAM Red/Black components. On other hand, i like the stabiliy legs of the Kickr, and the handle; but otherwise it appears the variable angle thing is really not needed for a standard road bike. I’m on my 3rd Core. Not sure you have tested this one, but any idea which would be more quiet? In the time that Wahoo has been bringing the CORE to market (Let’s not forget that Tacx has pushed out two further versions of the Flux, the Flux S and Flux 2 whilst Wahoo has been at the drawing board), the turbo trainer market has evolved so that just being good simulation isn’t enough, any more. Anyone having intermittent losses of signal/control using the edge 1030 and CORE ??? I open an incident in the technical service of Wahoo and after two days they answer that they will send me another. * So I tell NAME that I never said that I did not want the replacement Kickr Core (I do want it and I already paid for it 3 weeks ago) and I ask NAME for the contact information for his supervisor so that I can discuss in person that this type of refusal to sell to particular customers is not an OK thing. Inversely, if something takes 8-10 seconds, that’s a third of the interval itself. Anyway, I gave it a try. As I noted, I can’t hold 800w steady for that long, but I can hold about 700w. Personally, I’d spend the extra $100 to get a silent trainer with a bigger flywheel (even ignoring the flywheel, I’d spend that for silence). 82 Meinungen in 1 Quelle, Helfen Sie anderen bei der Kaufentscheidung.

Has anyone here had this issue? In my case, if we look at the mean/max graph of this ride, it becomes more clear: You can see the peak 1-second power here about 75w over the next nearest value from the SRM pedals. The speed/power signal, to my surprise, did return. I’m looking to buy a new trainer and I’m really intrigued by the Kickr Core (low price, characteristics of an $1200 trainer, a bunch of 30 day free trials on multiple apps plus 12 weeks free Sufferfest etc.) This may or may not be a greater trainer. While I know it would be expensive to replace the defective unit with new fixed ones, sending out garbage replacements as well as the whole saga of the original defective units has done Wahoo irreparable damage to their reputation IMHO. Unfortunately, nothing from them other that marketing emails in the AM. Le KICKR CORE de Wahoo est compatible avec la plupart des styles et types de vélo et s'adapte à ces derniers ; néanmoins, des exceptions peuvent concerner les vélos à une seule vitesse, les vélos de piste, les vélos couchés et certains vélos équipés d'un axe traversant.

I did all the spindowns etc but still it remained the same. Wahoo has slowed shipments down (like every trainer company), and CT has replied back to your emails. There’s two ways to look at this. I’m not the only one to see this – Shane Miller also noticed the same thing, but in his case he’s able to output more power. This is a shame as one of the swing factors for me in choosing a wahoo kickr core was the functionality when using the free manufacturer’s app, for summer months when I will probably have cancelled zwift. I dont see any difference with my first core (okt 2018) and quite shocked that the problems on the core went on and on. So my Kickr Core gets replaced. 2018 Core S/N 40184200611 Lasted 10 months never felt that smooth just grinded it out raised a support case with Wahoo December and confirmed faulty bearings a replacement was given late January 2 months wait no warranty extended.
