Detailed Sound Test: Wahoo KICKR vs CORE vs SNAP vs ROLLR!

Here's your complete test on the noise levels of the Wahoo KICKR (V5), KICKR CORE, KICKR SNAP, and ROLLR. I test the units one after another in the same spot, with a three-tier test protocol, showing the quietest it can be, the average cruising around speed volume, and the loudest it can be. Simple, yet effective.

This is a direct sound/volume/noise comparison between all of Wahoo’s current lineup of bike trainers, one after another. I go through the following units:

Wahoo KICKR ROLLR
Wahoo KICKR SNAP
Wahoo KICKR CORE
Wahoo KICKR V5/2020

I skipped the Wahoo KICKR Bike because it’s not a trainer. Plus, I don’t have one. But I don’t think there’s too many people that are using noise as the deciding factor between the KICKR V5/2020 and the $3,500 KICKR BIKE (and spoiler, noise levels between those two are basically the same).

For each test , I tested each trainer at three different speeds (wheel speed is all that matters for volume on smart trainers):

Slow speed (easiest gearing): This is ideal for ERG mode, because not only is it the quietest on every trainer, but it also increases accuracy/responsiveness in ERG mode on virtually every trainer.

Cruising along speed (20MPH/30KPH): This would be the speed you’d likely be in within a group ride or just cruising along at a good clip.

Sprint speed: This is basically the loudest the trainer gets at the fastest I’m able to make it go (on flat ground).

Within the video, I do each test successively for each trainer, and then towards the end, I compare them rapid-fire style back to back.

Go forth and enjoy!
