Rear view of the Kickr with the legs folded in for storage. The Kickr also folds away for storage in a reasonably compact fashion too, due to the support legs folding in and out. Fortunately, it has an integrated handle that makes moving it around a lot easier. Out of the box (with the cassette and quick release skewer installed), the unit weighs 21.9kg. Wahoo also noted that there are 12-speed cassettes, such as the SRAM NX Eagle PG-1230, that offer 12-speed compatibility on the stock 11-speed Shimano/SRAM freehub. Campagnolo and XDR / XD freehubs are available to purchase separately for £49.99 / $69.99 / €59.99 and £59.99 / $69.99 / €59.99 respectively.Ĭurrently, a Shimano Micro Spline freehub isn’t available, though Wahoo did say it is monitoring demand for this, suggesting it would release one if there was enough interest. It also comes with an 11-speed, 11-28-tooth cassette installed, which not every smart trainer does (even at the higher end of the pricing spectrum). These are also available to purchase separately, to upgrade old Kickr trainers. The new Axis feet provide up to five degrees of tilt for a more natural ride feel. If your body weight falls outside of that range, you’ll need to swap to either the smaller caps or larger caps, but this can be done by hand – the feet just screw on and off. These top caps spread the load across the foam feet differently so that all riders experience the correct amount of tilt.īy default, the medium sized caps are installed, which have a weight range of 63 to 81kg. There are three different top caps for the Axis feet included, which are designed for riders of different weights. The two support legs simply fold out and both the Axis feet and the height of the flywheel are easily adjustable. The Kickr comes almost completely assembled, meaning setting it up is a breeze. Interestingly, that +/- 1 per cent claimed accuracy range is tighter than that found on Wahoo’s Kickr Bike, so perhaps that will also see an update at some point.Īdditionally, Wahoo has amended the trainer’s supporting feet (called the Axis feet) to allow for five degrees of lateral tilt, to help give a more realistic ride feel.
