We tackled assembling the bike as a family project. kzfaq.infoUgkxzg0clhbtRf2gGxPkVETFKJJKGqdsorQu The package is heavy, but I have 2 teen boys that were able to move it. The written instructions were great- we didn't need to watch the videos, but it was good knowing that the option was there if we needed it. After we were able to get it set up, the boys each rode 3 miles and I rode 8 and the bike stayed quiet. The display is easy to reset, and you can put it on whichever setting you are using (time, distance, calories, etc). I will say that my butt is a little sore from the seat, but that could be because I haven't rode in a while. While it is comfortable for me, it was not comfortable with the seat position for my friend (could not move the seat back far enough and he slightly looked like a kid riding a tricycle that he had outgrown). He also said that the seat hurt his manly parts. We are going to look for a different seat that will be compatible with this bike for him.I did purchase the Wahoo Cadence sensor and strapped it to the crank of one of the pedals. This will sync with my Apple Watch, iPhone and will import data in to my Health app. Wahoo does have other sensors available other than cadence. I can also keep either my phone or my iPad on the display and they both feel pretty secure.

its very important to be fully kitted out in aero wear when you're riding this...

Does wahoo take the left or the right kidney as a optional payment?

A lot of people hating on these bikes for the cost, but if you add it up it's cheaper than most people run currently. $2000 bike, $1500 trainer, maybe $800 for the kickr climb and you get close to this feature set. Add in the reduced maintenance costs and wear and you'll end up saving thousands over the years.

I find it entertaining how Jeremy appears so excited! Cheers!

And we're giving one away???

Just bought one. Love it sooo much! Guys, do not scare of the price tag, price is fair, because it is Smart trainer + Climbr+ your bike = $3500, without damaging your own bike. Maint free, no chain, no cassette, no chainring to replace. Virtual gearing meaning configure to any groupset you want, biggest thing I love is shifting under heavy load, when you're out of saddle for sprint, climb. Smooth rolling give a big grin everytime.

I think this is the tops !!! I have ordered mine .... can't wait to get started.

But does it produce artificial BB creak to provide a true outdoor riding experience?

That ending came out of nowhere

Having a veey dynamic indoor setup like this also minimizes wear and tear on your outdoor-specific bike(s) - and not having to move back and forth and set up for indoor training.

This is a wet dream piece of fitness equipment!

Hey Jeremy. A couple of corrections. Zwift does support braking, but it doesn't really affect much other than allowing you to come to a stop a little faster if you want to get in to the menu, or save your ride really fast. Also, when you are riding on virtual roads, and the software is sending incline data to the trainer (for resistance and trainer incline) that is call SIM mode or Course Mode. ERG mode is when you are in a workout and the training software enforces specific wattage based on the intervals.

Buildinng indor trainor outside👍

@GCNtech I have bought this bike and it’s brilliant. I have also bought a turbo rock plate to add to virtual riding experience. Given that most of us are riding indoors perhaps you could do a review of rocker plates and see what the pros and cons are? Given that your presenters are also doing indoor training sessions, it might be a good idea to get them using the rocker plates too. #askgcntech

Not expensive enough for my tastes. Charge me upward of 5K and I might think about it.

Awesome Indoor Bike.

I'd like to see a version with down tube shifters, friction, obviously.

this is the JPow content that I am here for bros! And can someone PLEASE send JPow some of the new kit?!

I think it looks great. I have a Kcikr snap and it's good but probably next year I'll upgrade to this. With the traffic potholes in the road plus the weather in winter I am getting that I would rather ride zwift than be out on the road. Plus zwift is very absorbing.

thanks for showing us want we all want but isn't available. look forward to it

got one and love it

Impressive!!

I rarely crave a new gizmo, but this one I absolutely want. My current trainer is CycleOps Hammer, which took me on a 3500-mile journey this winter, and, as much as I like it, this Kickr Bike is unquestionably a huge step up.

Parece una excelente alternativa para entrenar

These videos always show a really cool bit of software being used to ride with. Love to know where these people get them from. I currently pay a yearly subscription for TACX and it is nowhere near as great looking as yours.

I'm definitely going to build my own spin bike

One thing they didn't seem to build in is steering. I think this will be more likely to develop on the indoor platforms. Already available in beta testing on zwift mtb course.

Now I know why it’s called that, went to buy one, then went Wooahh Kickr my bank balance

I would like to buy one of those smart bikes. In Germany none of them are actually available. So watching those review videos for more than a year gets to me. :))

Keep at it

I’m a runner, but I would love some bike to train at home and compliment the running. I have no interest in riding outdoors, and don’t want to get just some spin bike either. Although this is really pricey, I’m seriously considering getting one. But since at this point the Wahoo bike is almost 2 years old (if I understood correctly), I should probably wait for version 2.0.

sick

“If we might be interested” means they paid us the right amount lol

This guy has been a pro presenter since day one

During the Fitting discussion Q-Factor was not covered. Can Q-Factor be adjusted?

Price point to buy one here in China is around 32,000RMB, which is pushing 4500usd. Gonna be awhile before I have one of these parked on my balcony. If you could rock on it like the kurt Kinetic rocker I would say the trainer is worth every penny. Having the incline decrease and increase and not being able to at least rock a little bit when your out of the saddle takes the reality right out of the indoor ride.

How many Christmas Present lists have this as Number One!

besides the price point - what are the disadvantages of buying such a system? and which software is that being used on in the video? thanks.

Do the 42 kg of the bike not feel horrible heavy in the uphills ?

I've got a carbon bike, the Kikr Core and Kikr climb. I used it mainly on Zwift. Sometimes on Rouvy for the IronMan virtual race series. It all cost less than the Kikr bike. Is it worth changing?

It would be nice if the y-axis was also implemented following the implementation of the x-axis tilt angle in indoor bikes.

Is this the best method for training indoor? Some nore suggestions please? I am considering get one indoor training bike, i really would like to be the most similar as possible to outdoor. Thanks!

Great presentation Jeremy. An asset to GCN for sure.

cant wait for the unboxing giveaway 😁

wow

Sorry, new to biking and trainers, but if this is belt drive to create resistance, what's the purpose of the rear gears/cassette?

Any chance wahoo kickr would do recumbents? With both over and under seat steering.

I'm gonna buy one training bike still undecided between this Wahoo and Stages SB20. Any advice?

Would be really appreciated to get comparaison between this one, the Tacx Neo bike and the Stages bike.. Thanks in advance 😉

how many resistance has this? also do i need special shoes? i have the schwinn c4 so i dont now if this is a better bike i now is more xpensive but??🤷🏼‍♀️🙈

Will wireless braking be something? It will be so easy to install with no cables at all, very clean, potentially bike frames without holes for internal routing, and even more customisation and modulation. But it may not be safe with connection issues and battery.

Expensive but how many club riders do we know riding on $3K carbon wheelsets?

How stable did it feel under hard efforts? It doesn't look as solid as the Tacx bike but I like the incline/decline feature.

hello I am thinking to buy the wahoo bike , are you recommend ? or better kicker core ? thank you

can i change the crank arm with a similar 5arm 24mm spindle? i use 145mm crank in my road bike and because i'm small i use an argon 18 krypton XXS, its really hard to find the perfect fit for us petite people. Probably its going to be hard to emulate my measurements with kikr bike right?

Is there a prize for counting the number of times Jeremy mentions "Wahoo"? Great presenter despite the advertorial.

To be honest, IF I could afford it, it makes sense, the girlfriend would approve me having it in the house more (plus adjusting it between the two of us is easier), and I totally have wrecked two bike cockpits forgetting to clean up sweat. My cat tries to stick his paws in the cassette while riding and the dog gets grease on her so I see the appeal there too.

Wow. So much difference in what else is out there, still

While Zwift might add braking in the future, it has recently added steering, and it doesn't look like the handlebars on this bike can turn. Oh well, I guess we'll have to wait for the Kickr Bike 2.0.

This looks like an unboxing to me, doesn’t it? :)

Do the handlebars turn?

Actually, braking works in Rouvy and Kinomap, as well as in Sufferfest (if the intervals are not hard enough for you 🤣)

Very nice machine but for now my neo does everything I need for indoor training

Would be so cool if it also titled to the side to simulate turns!

he took it out the box... Where is the chance to win one? :-)

What was the program you used with it that had the race footage?

Ordered mine last week but need to wait till June for it

I think you should wait a while. Because at the moment many companies are working on comparable systems. And it is well known that competition stimulates business. I therefore assume that the price will drop sharply. The demand thanks to Zwift and co. is big. You should wait a little longer, then you will get a comparable device for half the current price.

does it simulate flat tires

Ordered one of these recently and expecting delivery in the next week. I know its super expensive but when costing up indoor set ups to use on Zwift for my wife and I, this came out at a similar cost. one frame not 2, no messing around changing a different bike on and off a Kickr and Kickr Climb every time you want to ride ect ect... loads of benifets to buying this, but for me is was something that's Zwift certified, easy to change seat height and bars for my wife and I to use and its super quiet and allows me to keep the legs going in the winter when we have rubbish UK weather. Not for everyone, grated...but I'm excited to receive it soon.

Bike shop can use this to find bike fit and bike sizing before pre order

Had nothing but trouble with mine, shifting issues, carnt use it now, stuck in garage a week old, crap help if any from wahoo support

Sold out - when will it be available again?

Any plans for a full review Jeremy?

I see you never got your new kit either, but got a Kicker Bike instead. Simon must be well gell haha 😂😂😂😂

How loud is it?

Is the saddle high enough? 8:00. I thought you'd suppose to have a "slight bend".

I'm sure they will sell enough of them. Its interesting, and I can see the attraction. I won't be buying one though.

... Nice one from Wahoo but still un reachable for average joe's or non pro dedicated cyclist who whant to get the best of their fit before kick the real deal. BUT! no turning yet to complete the full experience, meaning still room for more advance... and yet amazing toy and great video from JPows.

How does the Wahoo compare to the Keiser M3i?

Does anyone have an idea what app he was riding?

I have 2 riders in the household, can it be easily tethered to two riders so it uploads the rides to each individuals strava accounts?

But what tires and pressure are you running Jeremy?

What software is that at the end? Thanks..

I really wish you had gone into more detail on the ride feel. A lot of people who have used the Kickr Bike have reported thigh rub on that chunky frame. Did you notice it? Or is this just an advert?

I have really been wanting one of those; I don’t think I heard you mention the price? How much does it cost?

I was opening you were going to do an unboxing and give away ;-(

Isn‘t that an unboxing? I‘ll take the win. 😅

It looks like an electric rodeo-Bull 😂

Where is the link to “Sign up to win?” 🤔

is it commercial use quality

Should training be approached differently with a static bike than a "real world" cycling training?

What training app is that on your screen you are cycling on?

imagine if when he said its right here on my doorstep it wouldn't be there...

Great concept, but the price..! I think even if I was in the market for something that expensive for indoors I'd have some questions about future proofing. If you are paying £3000 you would want to be sure it would be good for many years, but who knows how the indoor training world iis going to develop in the next decade? Good that it's got the brakes, though! I wonder if the price will come down significantly over time.

Can you adjust the whaoo kikr bike as a triathlon bike?

Yeah, good luck trying to buy one of these.... Sold out almost everywhere...

This thing would be great it if didn't make horrible grinding noises. Certainly not anywhere close to silent and much louder than Kickr 2018 unless cadence is kept constant. Unfortunately, can no longer ride in the early morning and late night hours.

The review seems a bit short on the actual riding on the bike. Also I find it weird that they do have brakes but the bars / headset look like they are fixed, so simulating steering not an option?
