I know only one picture but looking like only forward-aft motion and no side to side?

Yeah, from that and the wiggles in the video, and per my comment:

it could be that they are relying on the Axis feet for all side lean action.

Here’s the [English link to the store listing](https://www.wahoofitness.com/devices/indoor-cycling/bike-trainers/kickr-move-buy). It costs $1600 USD.

There’s no front wheel guide, at least not in the box per the [quick setup guide](https://www.wahoofitness.com/media/wysiwyg/instructions/Wahoo_KICKR_MOVE_QSG.pdf).

Actually there’s a CLIMB adapter in the recommended items at the bottom of the listing. So there you go, spend another $50 on the adapter on top of the $700 CLIMB and $1600 Kickr Move. 🤦‍♂️

LOCK-OUT OPTION

When you want stability or a dialed-in position, KICKR MOVE features an option to prevent fore-aft movement and lock KICKR MOVE into place.

Definitely a painful price point. One thing they could have done to easy that a bit is to throw in a year of Wahoo System.

How much movement do you actually get from the Axis feet? Is it similar to a real rocker or just a little bit of wiggle?

They do include a trial of Wahoo X (SYSTM and RGT), they don’t specify how long though.

According to the manual you get three sets of axis feet but are only supposed to select it based on your weight, not tilt preference. I’m sure plenty of people will ignore that and be fine though.

Yeah, that’s why I said a year. That’s a decent savings for the consumer while costing Wahoo almost nothing.

Hmmm, not much side-side movement there…

It looks to be a well-executed design, but I really question whether Wahoo understands how the market has shifted post-COVID. I’m willing to spend a little more for integrated movement, but I am not willing to spend ~$1K more (vs. Core).

Shockingly high price point given market conditions.

Watching @gpl and @dcrainmaker 's video you can see noticeable side-side motion. Not as much as you would get on a rocker platform but it is definitely something.

If I was in the market for a trainer I would definitely consider this. But this feels like another Kickr Rollr: a trainer with a compelling use case but it is priced high enough where the use case is not justifiable.

You can get a Kickr Core/Zwift Hub with a Rocker Plate, with more motion, and still save ~$500 as opposed to getting this.

I’m not sure…I’m getting seasick already simply by looking at it moving but kudos to them for trying to reinvent the wheel or the trainer in this case.

Pricing is only for the indoor die hards though…and dangeorusly close to a second hand dedicated indoor bike.

Not only that, but if your trainer breaks or you decide to upgrade, there’s a decent chance the rocker can be used with the new trainer. So you’re saving money now and in the future. Plus you can decide which kind of movement matters to you and buy the appropriate setup mostly independent of trainer selection.

That said, many people aren’t aware of rockers or just want a smaller, simpler solution. This is quite compact by comparison and keeps the bike lower. The only things I don’t like about my rocker are the added height and large footprint.

Pretty much exactly this….but I would use the phrase “different motion” vs. “more”.

A rocker plate seems like it will have more side to side motion while the Move seems to be focused on fore-aft motion. My gut reaction is that as long as there is motion, you’ll get increased comfort. Which design is “better” remains to be seen at this point.

That’s why I bought the Rockr Pod Lite. Dirt cheap too.
