Core vs Victory?

Going to buy one of the two in the very near future, finally moving on from wheel on trainers (I actually like my dumb trainer). It will be for occasional bad weather training for the GF and I (we live in SoCal). Not much in the way of virtual riding, just workouts on TR or straight from a head unit. I’ll just run the cog on it. Pricing isn’t hugely different when you add on shipping and tariffs to the Victory.

Jetblack: $470

Kickr: $535

As I’m not really an indoor guy, so I’ll take feedback on other options from the wisdom of the crowd. Just not really interested in spending a lot since I don’t use them much and would rather spend it elsewhere. As long as power accuracy is okay enough to train with, I’m good. We have power pedals. I’m mostly upgrading because of the noise as several in the household work odd hours and the wheel on trainers just aren’t friendly to the sleepy ones.

I’d get the Wahoo Kick Core: you have a proven network of distributors, great support in case something goes wrong and the Kickr Core still has all of the, hmmm, core features you’d want in a trainer.

Anyone with the Zwift Bike + Kickr Core? I travel quite a lot, and would like to have some indoor bike that is easy to manage/transport. If I am not wrong, the Zwift bike has integration with TR too.

Sorry if this is not the right thread, I was just curious now that the Kickr is being mentioned here too.

@OreoCookie gave me the answer I was looking for. You are free to hijack.
