Wahoo updates Kickr Bike Pro and Kickr Core 2
Wahoo has refreshed its flagship smart indoor bike Kickr Bike Pro and Kickr Core indoor trainer. The brand's flagship smart indoor bike, Bike Pro, has got redesigned more ergonomic shifters for in-ride control on platforms like Zwift, plus upgraded touchpoints; a Fizik Aliante R5 saddle, Solocush bar tape and a new indoor-specific handlebar. As before, it simulates gradients, supports virtual shifting and includes Race Mode for snappier power response, with an easy five-point fit system.
The Kickr Core 2 brings a long-awaited tech update to the brand's entry level trainer, which now comes with built-in Wi-Fi, Race Mode for a claimed "near instantaneous power response", and a sensor bridge so heart-rate data can pass through the trainer to apps. The trainer ships with either a Zwift Cog & Click virtual-shift bundle (which got updated last week) or an 11-speed cassette, and has a revised, flatter leg design for easier setup.
The Kickr Bike Pro costs US$3,999 / £3,500 and the Kickr Core 2 sells for US$550 /£500. [wahoofitness.com]
