Our take on the KICKR V6 Smart Trainer

The Wahoo KICKR V6 is a direct-drive smart trainer built for serious indoor training. It adds 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi to the usual Bluetooth and ANT+ connections, so it can link straight to a router and stay paired through dropouts. A 16 lb flywheel and the adjustable AXIS feet give it a heavier, more natural road feel than lighter wheel-on trainers, and the steel frame is built for hard efforts. Riders who race or follow structured plans online get the most from it; casual spinners may find it more trainer than they need.
