Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Absolutely
  • Kickr core would be a good choice, the others probably as well.
  • Id consider adding 100€ to the budget and getting a new Kickr Core.
  • worth it. bought one for the same price and use it really often
  • Kickr core is good. Zwift virtual cog on it avoids issues with MTB gearing

Cons

  • Nah mad price. I bought new v2 for £340
  • Be weary -the motherboard on them can go bad and make it near worthless (happened on my 2020 model).
  • I tested this 9200p indoors on two bikes using Zwift and compared it with my single-sided 4iii, all in combination with a Kickr Core v1.
  • Here in EU I've seen the Kickr Core v1 available for around 250€ used now that the v2 is available. The wattage/resistance/climbing specs are the same as the v2
  • The stiffness of the core can add up on longer rides though. I recently bought the rocker feet with tennis balls on Amazon, and the difference is night and day.

Kickr Core with zwift cog + waxed chain + yoga mat is entirely unnoticeable to my downstairs neighbors.
