A necessary requirement of an indoor trainer is that the bike has to be attached firmly to it. While most Zwift mile-munchers and online racers will be used to this, riding in a fixed position is unnatural and can lead to discomfort in the legs and lower back.
There have been a few attempts to add movement into the system to improve comfort and feel; adding rocker plates is probably the most well-tried of these. However, with the Kickr Move, Wahoo has integrated the movement into the trainer itself.
Construction
The main guts of the Kickr Move are identical to the version 6 Kickr that was launched last year. This gives you a massive 2,200W max output and a power accuracy of +/-1%; it also includes Wi-Fi connectivity for a faster connection when racing, the ERG Ramp function and a host of other high-end features.
The trainer is mounted on a 20cm curved track within its housing to give forward/backward movement. The track's profile allows the trainer to move naturally and gently oscillate around its neutral position.
As well as forward and back, the Move's construction also allows a smaller amount of lateral movement. This complements the side-to-side movement, which is controlled by the cushioned Axis, a feature of the standard Kickr direct-drive trainer.
