Wahoo Kickr V6 (2022)

The 2022 model offers a higher maximum power output and slope simulation capability compared to the Core, making it better suited for more intense training sessions. It supports a steeper maximum slope of 20%, whereas the Core is limited to 16%. Both are direct drive smart trainers with similar communication protocols and require external power. The newer model features a motor brake system, while the Core uses an electric brake. The 2022 version is also heavier, reflecting its more robust design and enhanced performance features.
