Additional 10% Discount on KICKR CORE 2 Announced for UK and EU

A quick bit of news for anyone shopping for a new trainer in 2026…

First: Zwift and Wahoo are already holding a “Big New Year Sale” ending on January 5. If you’re looking for a great deal on the Zwift Ride with KICKR CORE 2, or the KICKR V6, this is a great time to do it!

But just yesterday, Zwift launched an additional 10% discount available on the KICKR CORE 2 trainer to EU and UK customers. Just use the discount code “EXTRA10” at checkout!

Price includes 1 free month of Zwift ($20 value) for new subscribers only.

Clearly, Zwift is looking to move some inventory in the UK and EU markets. This is the lowest price I’ve ever seen on the CORE 2 for UK and EU customers.

About the Wahoo KICKR CORE 2

The original Wahoo KICKR CORE’s longevity and reliability proved nothing short of startling, especially considering its price point. First released in 2018, the KICKR CORE is the “little brother” to Wahoo’s flagship KICKR trainer, and its hardware has remained unchanged since release.

It did, however, receive significant firmware updates to enable auto-calibration and Zwift virtual shifting, allowing it to become the de facto trainer paired with the Zwift Ride smart frame.

But competition in this price range is strong. September’s release of the KICKR CORE 2 brought premium features to Wahoo’s mid-budget workhorse, updating it to the standards set by the latest smart trainers.

What’s New?

New or upgraded features on the KICKR CORE 2 include:

  • WiFi connectivity for fast, reliable connections and automatic firmware updates
  • Race mode for near instantaneous response
  • Bluetooth bridging of heart rate and other sensors to consolidate connections (great for Apple TV users)
  • New flat leg design for easier, more stable setups
  • Improved multicolored LEDs indicate connection and trainer status
  • Redesigned flywheel lowers product weight while slightly increasing inertial load for better road feel
  • Reduced setup friction and waste: easier unpacking and assembly
