Review: If you're not fussed about direct drive, this is currently reduced to £299.99… cycling wahoofitness
If you can afford to spend an extra £700 on a posh fan and thing that makes your bike go up and down a bit on the trainer, though, you're probably more likely to want theAlthough pricier direct-drive trainers will have better claimed accuracy and max power, most of the specs and features on the Kickr Snap are right up there with some of the best turbo trainers: max power output is 1,500 watts, max grade simulation is 12%, pretty much all bikes will fit, there's ANT+ and Bluetooth...
The one thing you don't get that you do on most direct-drive trainers – and one wheel-on smart trainer that I know of, in the Saris M2 Smart – is cadence measurement, so you'll have to buy a cadence sensor separately to measure it. If you take your indoor training seriously then you'll know a lot of training sessions on apps like Zwift give you a cadence target as well as power for intervals, so this is pretty crucial to get the full experience.
There's an adjustable knob that tightens your rear tyre to the roller. The instructions say to keep tightening until the wheel no longer spins when applying pressure – not an exact science but difficult to get completely wrong.I reviewed last year, with the clutch knob clicking when the tyre is perfectly tight.
Wahoo officially recommends a calibration before every single ride to get the most accurate readings, which I think is a bit of a pain if you just want to get on with your session and you're time-crunched. I asked Wahoo if this advice had changed at all, a number of years and firmware updates later, but the answer was still:"Because of the tire to roller interface on SNAP we recommend performing a spindown before every ride.
The trainer responded quickly to gradient changes on my Zwift course – a bit cruder than the most accurate trainers I've used, but it did the job up to the maximum 12% the trainer allows for. I won't pretend to be disappointed that I didn't get the full experience when the gradient went past 12% on my test rides, but just bear in mind that this is the maximum hill severity you'll get from the Snap if grade simulation is particularly important to you.
