Potrebbe aver influito nella rottura del mio
Elite, il fatto che in 6 anni io abbia fatto esclusivamente percorsi di salite simulate da 10-13 km (Giau, Alpe d’Huez, ecc.) e quindi il Suito è sempre stato sottoposto a grosse sollecitazioni dal punto di vista della simulazione della pendenza.
Ormai sta esalando gli ultimi respiri, l’unica nota positiva è vedere che il Suito a un certo punto su Rouvy mi fa vedere che salgo su pendenze anche del 10% a velocita di 23 km/h con wattaggi stile Pogacar. Ovviamente si fa per ridere.
Alla fine ho acquistato un Avanti trovato allo stesso prezzo del Kick Core2 e la recensione di DC Rainmaker mi ha propendere per questa scelta, in particolare il commento che potete leggere sotto. Pure lo Wahoo non è esente da problemi.
So what does this do that the Kickr Core doesn’t do? It looks like Core has a heavier flywheel, and it costs substantially less ($500 vs $850).
Plus, if you buy the Core, you know you are getting a proven, reliable trainer, rather than something new with many unknowns and possible teething issues.
The Elite Avanti was introduced last summer as Elite’s new mid-range option for direct drive trainers. Unlike some of …

– Avanti has WiFi, sidestepping connectivity issues for some
– Avanti has Ethernet accessory support
– Avanti can do HR pass-trhough, super important for Apple TV users, especially in a Zwift Cog/Click world
– Avanti can do cadence pass-through, though as noted above, I don’t see much value there
– Avanti can do a variant of high-speed data
– Avanti can connect to Di2 shifter buttons directly
– Avanti has built-in odometer
I’m not saying everyone uses/cares about those features, but on paper (and real-life), Avanti does a lot more than CORE does. Of course, CORE has a heavier flywheel. Though again, flywheel weight isn’t everything (I didn’t have a CORE handy to do side-by-side inertia feel with Avanti).
As for CORE and proven/reliable, one only need to visit Reddit to see that it’s hardly without issues. In fact, that’s basically the only thing posted to the forum is people complaining about sound/noise issues on their CORE.
Look, I love the CORE, but it’s a nearly 7 year old trainer that Wahoo desperately needs to update. And the fact that Reddit is still absolutely filled with issues, illustrates that it’s no more proven/reliable than Avanti.
