Our Take
The Wahoo KICKR MOVE is a direct-drive smart trainer that adds fore-aft movement to the established KICKR platform, allowing the bike to sway naturally as you pedal. Aimed at serious indoor cyclists who find static trainers uncomfortable or unnatural, it sits at the premium end of the market and competes with the likes of the Tacx NEO Motion Plates setup.

Our Verdict
Buy the KICKR MOVE if you're a committed indoor cyclist logging long weekly hours and finding static trainers leave you sore or restless. The movement makes a genuine difference on extended rides. If you're a casual user, training primarily for short sessions, or budget-conscious, a static KICKR or rival offers better value.
