New flagship with premium features
The Kickr Bike Pro is based on the Success of the predecessor model and offers several improvements for an even more realistic riding experience. According to Wahoo, the redesigned gear levers are intended to enable more natural and responsive operation. They were inspired by modern trends in virtual cycling and allow easy access to in-app functions of various training platforms without having to take your hands off the handlebars. The premium touchpoints with the Fizik Aliante R5 saddle and the Fizik Solocush handlebar tape are designed to provide more comfort during longer training sessions. The ergonomic handlebars specially developed for indoor riding complete the package. The integrated five-point seat position system allows you to customise the ergonomics, while the virtual gear system offers customisable gear changes to simulate riding in the real world. The Kickr Bike Pro also features an integrated incline simulation, a precision flywheel with engine and downhill simulation and race mode for fast response to power inputs.
Kickr Core 2 with WiFi and easier installation
The Kickr Core 2 is receiving its first update in seven years and comes with several new functions. The newly added WiFi connectivity should ensure a more stable connection to smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices and enable faster data transfer than with Bluetooth and ANT+. The revised leg design with a flatter contour is intended to ensure a faster and more stable setup and has an integrated installation guide. The new Kickr Race mode ensures an almost immediate response to power inputs. Another new feature is the Bridge function, which allows data from heart rate monitors to be transferred directly to apps via the trainer. This turns the Core 2 into a central sensor gateway and is designed to simplify set-up. Multi-coloured LEDs indicate the status of connectivity, ride readiness and diagnostics. The Core 2 is offered with various shifting options, either with Zwift Cog & Click or an 11-speed cassette as standard. It will also be available with Zwift Ride.
