The KICKR 5 has been my go-to trainer since it was introduced a couple of years ago. The ride feel, accuracy, auto-calibration, multi-Bluetooth for trouble-free connection set this trainer apart from everyone else.
The KICKR Core hasn’t seen an update in a while but that doesn’t mean it’s behind in technology. It’s still a solid pick and will give you all the features of its big brother such as multi-Bluetooth trouble-free connections, heavy flywheel, and superior ERG performance.
The Tacx NEO 2T is a smart trainer that is head of its competition. With its superior accuracy, auto calibration, quiet operation, and road feel simulation, and ridiculous power puts this trainer ahead of its time. The only issue I have with the NEO and all other trainers other than Wahoo is the single Bluetooth connection. But the NEO 2T is a solid pick and you will enjoy riding this trainer in ERG and sim mode.
The Saris H3 is a beast of a trainer. It’s can simulate up to 20% inclines and maximum power of 2,000 watts. Saris improved the noise on the H3 so you don’t have to worry about waking anyone up when pushing those watts on those early mornings.
Sale ended on the KICKR 6 but in case you need one I am keeping it here. This KICKR features WiFi connection. Wahoo KICKR is a high-end trainer with auto power calibration. It provides up to 2,200 watts of resistance and accurate within +/- 1% for power precision.

KICKR Move takes a significant leap from the earlier versions, introducing a dynamic movement feature that allows for an 8" forward and backward movement, and some side-to-side action too.
This is an amazing deal on the KICKR Rollr. The ROLLR combines the convenient training experience and natural ride feel that only rollers can provide with the performance features and connectivity of a smart trainer. The ROLLR requires a power meter for ERG mode training and terrain simulation.

This one does not come with a cassette but also a few hundred dollars cheaper.
