That first Wahoo Kickr wasn’t the first to bring some sort of computerized system to indoor riding, but it was the first to do so in a way that worked for most people. Before Kickr, the few options you could choose from were used proprietary systems operating in a tiny market space; The first generation Wahoo Kickr changed all that by being open and available as a platform for any company. Any list of The best turbo trainers a Wahoo Kickr has been included in some form since 2012, but Wahoo continues to innovate.

One of the biggest changes for the world of Wahoo Kickr has been the expansion of the ecosystem, largely as a result of greater competition. Wahoo has brought options when it comes to pricing Wahoo Kickr Coreand Kickr Rollrsand realism-enhancing add-ons with the Wahoo Kickr Climb. Since 2019 there is the possibility to combine everything with that Wahoo Kickr bike and they even considered usability with a desk and fan.

The question is, at the current level of sophistication in the industry, what can be improved? The answer, at least from Wahoo, is ease of use.
