Keep riding through the holidays with $150 off this smart bike trainer

While the summer months are great for putting miles on your favorite bike, it can be frustrating to hang it up when the weather turns. This smart bike trainer turns your road bike into an indoor exercise bike, with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to connect to your PC, iOS, or Android device, and support a variety of communication and training options. Several vendors have Kickr Core 2 on sale for $399.99 (regularly $549.99) in both Cog and Click models (Wow, Amazon) which is compatible with 8-13 speed bikes, and the version with an integrated 11-speed cassette (Wow, Amazon).

One of the main advantages of a trainer like Kickr is the possibility of changing the resistance, which can work together with training programs to control the exercise, or to interact with riding programs to match the movements of groups. If you use heart rate or cadence trackers, the Kickr Core 2 can connect directly to them with ANT+ support, and the Cog and Click models also include gear shifters that connect to your handlebars. I use mine to continue riding during the winter months in the Pacific Northwest, connecting with other cyclists from around the world to ride in groups, challenges, and races. Zwift.
