shaka Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 Hi All I understand the new Kickr is a lot quiter, but besides that, are there any other major differences in the 2017 Gen 3 model and the 2018 Gen 4 model? Thanks
rpedro Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 I think it also has a heavier flywheel that makes it feel a lot more realistic
Furbz Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 i've owned the Kickr 2 and Kickr 4. get the Kickr 4 its extremely quiet compared. The loudest component is now your bicycle chain - so clean it and invest in a really good lube.the flywheels extra weight does make a big difference in in-game feel. Gradient changes are more subtle and less jerky.
Furbz Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 KickR 4 is also compatable with the Climb unit.as far as i know the Kickr 3 is also compatible.
Pulse Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 KickR 4 is also compatable with the Climb unit.So is the 3
Capricorn Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 as the others have stated, this video confirms. It's in german, but use the english closed captions. it's good enough...mostly-ish. https://youtu.be/-wG_MK6I2ZY?t=193
lechatnoir Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 if last night's IDT session was anything to go by, my Kickr 4 will be headed back to where it came from... for the 3rd time (meaning a 4th unit) in as many months... latest issue is a very noticeable 'knock' at about 2 o'clock on each power stroke. Giving it another bash this evening and will assess

lechatnoir Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 Its a common issue on 4. easy fix. google it just so that I know I'm finding the right things, would you mind helping a fellow rider out? thanks in advance
lechatnoir Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 if last night's IDT session was anything to go by, my Kickr 4 will be headed back to where it came from... for the 3rd time (meaning a 4th unit) in as many months... latest issue is a very noticeable 'knock' at about 2 o'clock on each power stroke. Giving it another bash this evening and will assess so, the innocuous knock on the down-stroke turned into an unholy cacophony when I got on again... this time 2wieltjies was right... a google search found the exact symptom. Took the trainer apart, adjusted a few things (still need to get some loctite), and the noise is gone. I can't say if the problem is solved though.... Time will tell
