- A sound comparison of the new 2018 Wahoo Kickr VS the 2018 Kickr as well as the Elite Direto (geni.us/elitedi... - Amazon). Is it really silent?
Thanks for watching and check back soon for more on smart bike trainers!

Great review Des! I'm looking at getting a Kickr but might wait for the Core if it's just as quiet as the 2018 Kickr.
Subscribed and looking forward to more quality posts :)
Thanks! Kickr Core is now available at some REI locations, FYI.
Demonstration of sound for sprints, not for normal driving. I use Direto, my windmills for cooling the body are louder :). The Direto is quiet in the uphill drive with high power and normal cadence. Direto is made louder above term 90.
For me, the Kickr Core is a no go, because it can't be folded and I live in a tiny apartment. The regular Kickr is too much money. The direto is sold out, direto X is the new thing on shops. Would be nice if you contact Elite and ask them for a Direto X and a Suito. The suito is the best out there in terms of price, only question is reliability and speed in zwift regarding delay on climb percentage change, the direto is very slow, and my vortex smart 200€ trainer is inmediate, so the direto is a no go also. I think the suito will make it in my shopping cart, after you guys test it well. Thanks again for your work.
Great comparison as ever again.
Thanks!
Great vid! Loved the audio comparison. That Direto is kind of a “fan canon”. Ha!
Hey thanks! It’s a shame the fan doesn’t keep from sweating all over!

Hi, Wahoo 2018 shows what has changed inside the cover
thanks for the compración
Hi,
Is the Direto making an annoying sound while riding or is it ok? and for other people in the room?
Because a can buy a new direto for like 600 euro. good buy?
thanks

That's normal for the Direto. It starts to get a little whine-noise at higher speeds (not higher wattage). I'd possibly hold out for the Wahoo Core as that is supposedly virtually silent.
any flywheel vibration? My 18 flywheel vibrates some and generates a deep grinding resonance on big ring/small cog. Tried it with new Tarmac Pro Ultegra and older Roubaix 105 both chains new, gauge shows .25 so no stretch.
Awesome!
The CORE does not come with a cassette. Just factor that in the price if you need to buy one.
giuseppe Dellorusso i was really surprised to see it comes with thru axle support, given that’s $100+ money maker that Wahoo inflicts on their KICKR snap buyers
Quite literally editing the Wahoo Kickr Core setup and first impressions video right now. Hopefully will be up tomorrow sometime.
@@DesFit Excited to see it! Debating between a Core vs the Stac Zero Holycon for my apartment at the moment
It’s a darn good trainer and very quiet. Video will be live in about 15 min!
nice truing stand there
Wow. Your Direto is SUPER quiet compared to mine. Annoyingly loud beep beeeep beep beep beeeeep.... stepper motor noise constantly adjusting and readjusting for power.
First!
👍
