We buy or borrow, ride for weeks, and score on accuracy, noise, road feel and app support — not on who sent us the free unit.

Strong accuracy, quiet belt-drive operation, and now WiFi + 10Hz race mode on top of the original Core's reputation. Ships with a Zwift Cog, so it works with nearly any drivetrain out of the box.

Independently rated 'best overall' by BikeRadar in 2026 — quiet (65dB), easy setup, and data accuracy that beats its price point. Comes with a Zwift Cog.

Best-in-class accuracy, every connectivity option available (BT x3, ANT+, WiFi, Ethernet), a 10Hz 'Race Mode', and Wahoo's EasyRamp feature to ease back into resistance after stopping mid-interval.

More than double the D100's power ceiling (1500W vs 600W), noticeably lighter at 13.6kg, and still comes with the Zwift Cog and Click shifter — all at a price that undercuts Wahoo, JetBlack, and Elite's comparable trainers by €50-150.
