I don't know why i waited so long to upgrade my trainer, but this thing is a game changer. Automatically detected by every program i tried it with; it just works and its got more than enough resistance for most cyclists. Can get a little wobbly if you're at full sprint but there are work arounds. A great value, especially if you find it on sale

Definitely a new and unused set. Very new and working well. Shipping is slow to Singapore.

Goed materiaal, vlotte synchronisatie. Aanrader!

I can't ride outdoors in winters here in the northeast as it's just too cold, and even running got to be too unpleasant the older I got, so I decided to start riding indoors on a trainer. I had an old and very basic wheel-on "dumb trainer", but it was noisy and clunky and resistance couldn't be controlled so it wasn't suitable for everyday use, so I decided to get a direct drive smart trainer, and ended up choosing the Core because it was the least expensive one I found that was well-regarded.And I'm so happy that I did. It's very easy to set up, both initially and before each training session, folding up nicely and storing well between uses. Installing a cassette was no different from installing a cassette on a wheel, and I already had all the necessary tools as I do all my bike maintenance. Same with connecting the bike to it, takes just seconds, especially since I keep the rear wheel off between uses since I don't ride outside in winter. Then it's just plug in the adapter, fire up whatever app you're using (I mostly use Zwift but also Rouvy and MyWhoosh), pick an event, race, workout or route, and off you go.Which brings me to the main point, that actually using it is such a pleasure. It's really quiet, much quieter than the drivetrain and even fan, and with a mat shouldn't cause floor vibrations at all (I use a single interlocking foam mat from a set of 4 I got at Harbor Freight for under $10), and the feel is super-smooth and refined, like riding on fresh blacktop, and is as smooth as your drivetrain is (which you should of course keep cleaned and well-lubed and replace parts as needed). Resistance transitions due to changing virtual terrain or workout intensity levels are smooth as well, nothing jerky at all.I've already put in more than 300 miles on it and have absolutely no complaints. And it looks nice too! I just ordered Zwift's Play controllers (you can only buy them directly for $99) to be able to use their new virtual shifting feature, where you no longer have to physically shift and it's all done in software, resulting in smoother and quiet shifts and a wider range of gearing. I'll post an update when I've had a chance to use them for a while. They also allow you to steer, brake and interact with Zwift without having to use a mouse, keyboard or phone, which is awkward while riding.If you're looking to get into indoor cycling and prefer a direct drive trainer and don't want to spend too much, this is basically the only viable choice as Zwift has discontinued its line of trainers (you can find them on sale though as they sell out existing inventory and they promise to support them for at least a couple more years if you're willing to chance it), and they weren't quite as good as the Core. All other options are much more expensive and have features that most people probably don't need, like more precise power readings, higher max watts and incline (like most people will ever exceed 1800W or want to ride up a greater than 16% incline), and forward or side to side movement.Just get it. You won't regret it.

My first wheel off trainer. Super easy to install cassette and skewer. Zwift app was easy to use. I've never enjoyed spin classes or indoor riding of any kind until now. I'm doing group rides, races, routes and workouts, including ftp tests. So fun, quiet, and super hard and efficient training. Awesome!

It’s heavy, but vert stable. It seemed to take a while to pair with my iPad, but otherwise it was very straightforward to set up. It pedals very smoothly. I haven’t done any out of the saddle climbing yet, but I’m confident it will be fine. It works well with Rouvy. It’s actually enjoyable to ride indoors now.

Because the weather around here is spotty I've been wanting a way to get some exercise on days that I couldn't go for a ride for some time now. My health insurer gave me $600 towards equipment so that pushed me over the edge just as WaHoo had a sale so I pulled the trigger.The good: It's very quiet. Things like the chain spinning make the most noise. It's very sturdy. If you're slightly handy it's easy to put your bike on it in under a minute.The neutral: There's an exposed belt and wheel that spins. If you have curious pets you might want to be a little careful. The power connector is a short cord that comes out of the unit. I would rather see it be like a laptop where it's built in so there's less chance of it being damaged. The free software is very limited so plan on getting a subscription.The bad: The only way to turn it off is to unplug it. After the latest update WaHoo's software/app RGT will not correctly connect up to it if I leave it plugged in. I don't know if it's the software or the Core.I'm sure it can be used as just a generic resistance device but having a guy displayed on your phone or laptop does make it much more interesting. Some days I just watch a TV show or movie while the rider is displayed on my laptop next to my bike. Other times I connect my laptop to my TV and treat it more like a ride. As you ride it gets easier or harder as you go down or up a hill. You can adjust the percentage of the resistance to your tastes.With WaHoo's software you can track how long you rode and your average wattage (so you can accurately figure out how many calories you burnt). Over all it feels pretty close to what riding in the real world feels like. Once it's paired to your device (I'm using blue tooth but you can use ant+) it's very easy to connect as long as I leave it unplugged when not in use. In the near future I'm going to try it with an app like Zwift or Rouvy.

Simple to set up, well made.

2台目のスマートトレーナーで1台目はELITEのタイヤドライブ式でした。今回ダイレクトドライブ式のKICKR Coreに買い換えて良かったと思うのは、タイヤかすが出ない点とパンクなどのタイヤトラブルがない点、静かさという点です。価格は倍かそれ以上ですが、継続するには極力テンションを下げる原因が少ない方が良いのではじめからダイレクトドライブ式を選べば良かったと心から思っています。あえて難点を挙げるとすると4つくらいでしょうか。これでも満足度は相当高くZwiftライフが継続できそうです。1. 付属するZwiftの無料期間。Zwift新規登録のみが対象で既存ユーザは対象外2. コンセント形状は3本タイプなので日本の一般的なコンセントで使うには変換アダプタが必要3. カセット(スプロケット)は自分で準備して取り付けが必要4. macOSとのBluetoothが切れやすい(他のデバイスが邪魔している?) - iPadでは一回も切れていません5. 重いのですがハンドルなどが無いので運びにくい
