I know I am not the only dad out there who struggles to balance family, work, and everyday life while being a cyclist, and lately I’ve been starting to wonder if it’s time I did a little more indoor riding to boost my fitness.
I am not someone who races or has goals and training plans to follow, I just love riding my bike and being in nature. So, spinning away on even one of the best smart trainers has never really appealed to me. Until now, I have been a strong advocate for just getting outside, come rain or shine.
However, of late, I have noticed my weight has been creeping up, and that’s started to worry me. I know more exercise could help me to lose weight, and cycling carries so many benefits, even if it’s carried out indoors. And the call of the great indoors has been amplified by this excellent deal.
For a few months now, I have been considering taking the plunge and U-turning on my strong opinions about riding indoors. It wasn’t until I spotted this Amazon Prime Day deal on the Wahoo Kickr Core 2 that I thought maybe now is the time!
Reminder: Amazon Prime Day cycling deals will end tonight, June 26th, at midnight, so this deal might not be around for much longer, and worth snapping up before it ends.
In Tech Writer Aaron Borrill’s full review of The Kickr Core 2, he introduces it by saying, “while it cuts a familiar silhouette, there have been many noteworthy changes”.
He continues to note that one of the biggest issues with the previous model was its stability and had this to say about it: “Concerns over stability have been addressed with updates to both the legs and feet”.
But the question is, how does it perform?
Borrill was incredibly impressed with the ride feel and described it as “smooth without removing realism”. When testing the Kickr Core 2’s accuracy with his Favero Assioma pedals, Borrill found it “impressively accurate”.
Overall, Borrill concludes by saying: “When you combine the accuracy with the ride feel, easy setup and available options like the Zwift Cog, it’s hard to beat on value”. Which, from someone who has competed at the World Championships and captained the South African national indoor cycling team, feels like very high praise.
