CRANK IT UP

Turbo trainers were one of the first types of fitness equipment to sell out earlier this year. This is understandable: some cyclists), a silent yet powerful smart trainer that makes indoor cycling even more realistic and fun. The new KICKR is not only more accurate but also provides this accuracy without the need for users to perform a spin down, which is almost unbelievable and definitely more convenient. The new AXIS feet of the fifth-generation KICKR makes virtual rides even more realistic as the unit smoothly tilts up to 5 degrees from side-to-side with each pedal stroke. We are not talking about a wobbly turbo trainer but one that intentionally tilts, just as your bike would if you were on the road. The KICKR is also fully compatible with indoor workouts from Wahoo’s The Sufferfest virtual training app (), so if you have a big enough smart TV, you can recreate the sensation of riding in the peloton almost perfectly in your lounge.
