I'm confuded....

 

If Wahoo can bring out a new Kickr every 3 months why would i want to buy the 5th Gen unit when I can have the 8th Gen in March next year that will have AXIS+ feet with 3D axis adjustment, clmb 3D and Wnd4.0????

Hey Christian, do you know if we'll be able to buy those new little feet separately?

I'ms sure that just quietly introducing improvements would be better for product perception than making a dog and pony show over very minor revisions.

I would not have been aware of the quality control issues which now means I will be more vigilant if I buy one. I figured the Kickr is pretty bullet proof....now I'm not so sure

I guess! was it 7 years ago? I thought it was 2015.

Anyway keep up the good work. I'm just trying to understand the market strategy here.

 

PS: I hope that next years model does have a more built in rocker movement. I'm not a fan of huge rocker plates that takes up more real estate in the trainer room

Hey Chris, 

 

Yes you will! 

 

We should have retrofit parts in the next 6 weeks.
