The price was AU$499 delivered from Chain Reaction. Not sure where you are, but they deliver these to Australia for free, whereas Wiggle charge an extra $90 for shipping (not sure how this works, CRC and Wiggle are actually owned by the same parent company and their inventory is shared).
I sold my old KK for $250 prior to the purchase, and I also reclaimed the DT 240 hub on my trainer wheel for a build so I really didn’t tip in too much extra out of pocket. I justified the full cost of the spare (still boxed) because I’ll easily be able to sell it if it doesn’t eventually get used.
It’s a great little unit. No louder than a dishwasher or running faucet (far quieter than the KK), with good progressive resistance, a stable base for sprints while still having a slight side-to-side sway built in too. Plus a much smaller footprint and no need to endlessly twist the dial… just get one
