Garmin Flux 2 vs Kickr core

[Janus101]

Good morning. 
Please advise between garmin flux 2 vs kickr core. I can get both new for roughly the same price. Pro’s and con’s of both? First time indoor trainer buyer. 
Thanks!!

I cannot comment on the Wahoo, but have owned a flux 2 since 2021, have had zero issues with the unit and according to Zwift i have ridden it a total of 50452 km. I have yet to do any maintenance except for keeping it clean and cool (always have a fan pointing from behind that cools the trainer and me).

Overall, i am very satisfied with the unit, just make sure to get an ANT+ dongle as well, i found that the Bluetooth connection sometimes gets a bit laggy.

I bought a Flux S.. 

reasons:

Bundle deal for R9999.00 . Included HR monitor and subscription for 6 months to garmin train.. and water bottle..

mate with wahoo v4, isnt that happy with wahoo when i talked to him about it..

My bike mechanic services Tacx units.. no repairs or service available for wahoo as far as i believe.. 

I have no real complaints about the Flux S.. (+- 3 months of use)
