Wahoo KICKR CORE 2 Smart Trainer (+Cassette)

The Wahoo KICKR CORE is the smarter way to start riding indoors. Building on the trusted performance of the original CORE, it introduces faster and easier set-up, better connectivity, and key features from the KICKR ecosystem. Smooth resistance and road-like feel make it built for hard efforts and structured training, with automatic resistance that realistically matches the gradient of the virtual road — gliding down hills and feeling every climb.

A simplified four-bolt assembly and colour-coded leg components streamline set-up and ensure a secure, stable build. Integrated WiFi delivers faster pairing and automatic updates, while KICKR Bridge streams data from heart rate monitors and other controllers. Race Mode broadcasts power data up to 10 times faster than the previous CORE for quicker responsiveness during hard accelerations, and a new multi-colour LED system provides real-time feedback on connection status, firmware activity, and feature states. A pre-installed cassette means you can get straight into riding.
