Just like how we sleep through one-third of our lives, we probably spend the same amount of time performing spindowns when we ride indoors. This saves a ton of time and takes the hassle out of turbo riding. The Wahoo KICKR V5 is more accurate than its predecessor and doesn't require a spindown either. Wahoo KICKR V5 review: accuracy and (the lack of) spindown The next step would be to add a VR headset to the mix, and maybe something similar to Tacx's Road Feel simulator, and no one would have to risk their lives on the roads anymore, trying to dodge cars left-right-centre. Now, the bike mounted on the KICKR doesn't have to be upright all the time and can lean as you pedal harder, much like how it would behave on the road.Ĭombine this sensation with footage from apps like Sufferfest and Zwift on a big enough screen, and you have yourself a pretty decent recreation of outdoor cycling sessions. The AXIS feet does an incredible job of making indoor cycling more realistic. It allows for a 5% side-to-side incline, which might not sound an awful lot for an uneducated ear, but it will excite riders the KICKR was designed for. The feature many riders will probably notice first is the AXIS feet.
