Wahoo KICKR BIKE: What's it Like to Ride? // Ride Review // Data Analysis (Part IV)

Wahoo KICKR BIKE - The latest release from Wahoo at Eurobike 2019. Based on years of smart trainer experience this looks to be the most fully featured Smart Bike released to date.  After a few weeks on the Wahoo KICKR Bike here's my take on the ride experience using both SIM and ERG mode. I throw down some hill attacks and flat road sprints to try and trip up the flywheel. I look at the unit stability, noise, ride feel, data accuracy, and more. Note that I'm using 3s power smoothing within Zwift so the watts on screen are obviously appear laggy in sprints.
