Wahoo KICKR CORE 2 Smart Trainer

The ultimate indoor cycling experience, refined.

The Wahoo KICKR CORE 2 is Wahoo’s latest smart turbo trainer, bringing pro-level performance to your home setup at an unbeatable price point. Designed for cyclists who want accuracy, durability, and simplicity, the CORE 2 delivers everything you need for realistic indoor training — minus the fuss.

With integrated Wi-Fi, faster power response, and improved setup features, this next-generation trainer makes your indoor rides smoother, smarter, and more connected than ever.


Smarter connectivity

The KICKR CORE 2 now features built-in Wi-Fi, so you’ll enjoy a more stable connection to training apps like Zwift, TrainerRoad, Rouvy, and Wahoo SYSTM — no more Bluetooth dropouts or ANT+ clutter. It even auto-updates itself, ensuring you’re always riding with the latest firmware and features.

Plus, Wahoo’s new KICKR Bridge technology simplifies setup by combining your heart rate and sensor data into one easy connection.


Power and precision you can trust

The CORE 2 delivers accurate power measurement within ±2%, simulates gradients from –10% to +16%, and supports up to 1,800 watts of resistance — ideal for everything from recovery spins to sprint intervals.

A new Race Mode transmits power data up to ten times faster, giving you ultra-responsive feedback for racing or structured training. Every watt you push gets captured instantly for a more realistic and competitive ride.


Built for real-world performance

Sturdy, stable, and whisper-quiet, the Wahoo KICKR CORE 2 is designed to handle your hardest sessions without shaking or slipping. It’s compatible with a wide range of bikes, including 8- to 13-speed drivetrains and both quick-release and thru-axle setups (12×142 mm and 12×148 mm).

It ships with an 11-speed cassette pre-installed and includes all the adapters you need to get started.


Easy setup, easier riding

Updated colour-coded legs, simplified four-bolt assembly, and intuitive LED indicators make setup fast and frustration-free. Once you’re up and running, the Wahoo App walks you through calibration and pairing with your favourite apps in just a few taps.

Whether you ride indoors for training, fitness, or bad-weather backup, the KICKR CORE 2 makes every session feel natural and rewarding.

  • KICKR CLIMB for gradient simulation
