To recap

It’s hard to find fault with Wahoo’s mid-tier turbo trainer. Sure, it doesn’t quite have all the bells and whistles of the top of the range model, but, for most indoor riders, this is right in the sweet spot of functionality and price. It delivers on all of its promises: it’s accurate, built to last and is backed by Wahoo’s customer service.
