It’s a good idea, especially since they’ve incorporated the new system without hiking the price up. How effective it is is a different discussion though I guess. I’ve always thought that Wahoo shot themselves in the foot when they launched the Kickr Core. Since the Kickr offered so little extra ove…

The 2 degrees wobble in the Neo makes a nice difference, rather than sitting on a gate, I can’t see the 5 degrees (lateral, so 10 overall so about 16cm … I think) being worse Edit I think my math was a lttle wrong, but it should still be the same if not more than the Neo’'s

Gotta read more, but seems like the as the K18 with movement added. No change to the resistance unit or possible issues with either failures we continue to see. As usual I will likely wait to see how this pans out for early adopters to see if they “fixed” the prior problems.

The main idea here is less about feeling like outside motion ( such that a rocker plate would provide ), and more about giving a little bit more sway that helps in longer trainer sessions by allowin…

Feet will be available to purchase and are backwards compatible. [image] KICKR AXIS Action Feet KICKR AXIS feet let cyclists customize the ride feel, enhance feedback, & experience a more realistic training setup. Price: GBP 64.99

I’m happily surprised by the retrofit option. Too often that gets overlooked or deliberately made incompatible. I may get a set for testing, but from what I see in Shane’s video, it is a half measure at best, for motion. Improved comfort is likely though, based on my stiff rocker plate testing. …
