Review
"Wahoo have given the KICKR small but very useful updates. In addition to the wireless connection, you can now also use a cable for future E-racing events. Thanks to the addition of elastomers at the feet, the KICKR now also offers lateral movement to give you a more natural feel."
- Editor Philipp Schwab
The award-winning Wahoo KICKR V5 is the latest advancement of the KICKR range and is the most accurate KICKR yet. Accuracy is getting close to perfect with the V5, upgraded to +/-1% instead of +/-2% thanks to Wahoo‚s proprietary auto-calibration process. The process gives the KICKR unmatched power accuracy on the market and doesn't need a spin down, saving valuable time and boosting confidence in your ride.
The next biggest addition is the brand new Axis feet; these are customisable cushioned feet that respond to your movements and give you a tilt of up to 5 degrees for the most realistic riding experience yet. This allows you to feel and move with each pedal stroke for that natural side-to-side feel you get in the saddle. To handle E-Racing events the KICKR has a revised junction box that allows both wireless and wired connections. On top of all that it is still exceptionally quiet, smooth, and reliable. It can still handle up to 2200 watts with its 7.2kg flywheel which really does make this smart trainer a cut above.
The KICKR V5 takes all of the best aspects of the KICKR 18 but improves accuracy, adds auto-calibration, and improves the natural feel with the Axis legs. Essentially it does a lot of the same things as before with a few newly added features that can make a real difference depending on your preferences.
Axis Feet
These customisable cushioned feet respond to movements from changes in tempo and body position, smoothly tilting up to 5 degrees from side to side with each pedal stroke, mimicking the side-to-side movement experienced when riding outdoors.
Greater Accuracy
Refined power accuracy to +/-1% from +/-2% by using a proprietary auto-calibration process.
Auto Calibration
Through an automatic calibration process, KICKR continuously offers accurate and precise power without a manual process by the user.
