Wahoo KICKR Core Smart Turbo Trainer

Wahoo KICKR Core Smart Turbo Trainer

Helping you keep your eyes on the prize in the off-season and maintain your sharpness when the roads can’t be run, the KICKR Core Smart is technologically equipped to keep you in top condition and race-ready all year round. Built with Wahoo’s superbly successful silent-design and tech-filled flywheel, the Core supplies true-to-life inertia and power to give you the ultimate real-ride feel.

Performance-Focused Indoor Smart Trainer

Wahoo excels in the world of static training and its latest Core smart indoor bike trainer builds on that reputation by combining wireless connectivity with quality construction. It will accurately track your stats as work up the same sweat as you would on an outdoor escapade. Providing you with brilliantly controlled resistance to make your workout as intense as you wish, the Core is also thru-axle compatible. This means you can easily mount your disc brake-equipped bike, giving you unaltered comfort and familiarity as you embark on your indoor sessions.

Using Bluetooth and ANT+ technology, the Core syncs with Apple, Android or Windows mobile devices to not only relay your performance stats but put you right in the mix with virtual rides and races for a super-realistic experience. Working in conjunction with excellent VR apps such as Zwift and TrainerRoad, you can immerse yourself in whatever type of ride you want. Alternatively, you can go back through previous real-life rides by connecting up your compatible GPS computer and go for a new PB from the comfort of your garage. The ANT+ FE-C connection also allows the trainer to be controlled from any FE-C enabled device.

Please Note: This smart trainer is supplied with a UK power plug, but can work on all voltage types. For customers outside of the UK, a power plug adaptor will need to be purchased separately

Disclaimer: Because of the wide variety of bicycle makes and models, it is not possible for Wahoo to guarantee the KICKR’s compatibility with all bicycles matching these parameters. To fully ensure compatibility, Wahoo recommends visiting a local Wahoo retailer to test your bicycle’s fit before purchasing. Please take note of the “Known Incompatible Bikes” listed below. While Wahoo has conducted tests on KICKR safety and compatibility with certain bikes, the KICKR end user is ultimately responsible for ensuring that their bike frame is compatible with the KICKR trainers such that damage to the bike frame does not result from using the KICKR trainer.

Wahoo Fitness strongly discourages altering trainers to fit bikes deviating from the following specifications including (but not limited to) grinding-down components, adding washers, or improperly reversing spacers as these may void your warranty and increase inherent risk. Wahoo Fitness is not liable for any damage or injury related to improper installation, modification, or misuse of hardware.
