Not Wahoo Kickr: Bicycle GPS Navigation System

I have a Wahoo Kickr and bought it for my wife. Although Flux is quieter, it's not as accurate. It makes sense given the lower cost, but the Flux has a much worse powerband. I can leave my kicker in the same gear and crank the power up from 50 to very high. With Flux, my wife basically has to switch to grinders to get under 100W. Not a big fan of it.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Disappointing - Garmin sent me a used product

I don't usually write reviews, but felt compelled to share my experience with other riders. It's always fun to try new gear but to my disappointment the box looked like it had been used since I received it. The box was torn and damaged, the foam inside was also damaged and the machine was scratched from side to side. I heard it's a good product but be careful where you buy it. Very disappointing for a loyal Garmin user with over 10 years of experience.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Fits

Excellent trainer, mediocre seller

My trainer was delivered to a different apartment and signed with a different name. When I asked Revain what to do they sent me to the seller to solve the problem and then it got bad. Luckily for me, the next morning my neighbor knocked on my door and explained that FedEx had thrown it at his apartment, but it was too heavy to carry upstairs. Being kind pays off! The trainer is great and when combined with Zwift you get one hell of an effective workout. If you can ride 20 miles on this bike…

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Don't you think you should say that?!?

Glad to have found this machine at a reasonable price and from the photos in the description it looks like it will be ready to use. However, and I found out after I received it, if you scroll down and read the ENTIRE list, including the questions and answers asked, you will find that the cassette is NOT INCLUDED! Very annoying, but of course fixable. For another 60-100 dollars. PLEASE SAY SOMETHING AT THE TOP OF THE LIST about the need to purchase this component - the trainer needs it for it to

Pros
  • Hands Free
Cons
  • Good but not great

Quiet, inexpensive and powerful enough for most.

While the Flux S delivers a maximum sprint power of 1500W and simulates a 10% incline for a 165 pound rider, this is sufficient for most cyclists looking to maintain or improve their winter fitness. Having used a wheel on a trainer before (which tends to go just over 16 mph and screams like a banshee by 20), I was really shocked at how quiet the Flux S is (the fact that its " big brothers" the Flux 2 and Neo should be quieter but still amazing). My fan, breath and chain through the gears are…

Pros
  • Easy Install
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Was good until it broke, poor support

This car was good until it broke after 2 weeks of ownership. It was used by my mother, an elderly woman who weighs very little. The aluminum block cover that bolts to each side of the bike frame mount was damaged when it came loose while using the machine. The cover in question was on the cassette side of the device. Because it's made of softer aluminum, it didn't damage the steel threads on the Tacx block itself. However, the threads on the lid were destroyed and unusable. From my observation…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Some imperfections
