Yes, this roller trainer is already equipped with the new Zwift Cog/Click system. The model is supplied with the Zwift Cog version 2 and the Click version 2, which enable simple, low-noise virtual shifting and are compatible with 8- to 13-speed drivetrains.

The product can be ordered and delivered.

To use a 12-speed SRAM Apex cassette (mechanical) on the roller trainer, you need the SRAM XDR Freehub adapter, as SRAM 12-speed cassettes use the XDR freehub body system. A 1.8 mm spacer for XD compatibility is also included in the adapter kit. The original lockring is replaced by a suitable conical lockring included in the kit. In concrete terms, this means - Remove the existing Shimano-compatible freehub body. - Install the SRAM XDR freehub adapter. - Fit the SRAM 12-speed cassette to the XDR Freehub. - Use the supplied lockring from the adapter kit. This ensures compatibility with the SRAM Apex 12-speed cassette. Note that the conversion requires tools such as a chain whip, lockring spanner and adjustable spanner.

We source our products from different suppliers to ensure availability as far as possible. As soon as a supplier does not have the item in stock, we switch to a supplier with higher availability. Each supplier offers different prices, so there may be price differences. There can be various reasons for this, such as higher purchase prices for smaller quantities or additional import costs. We therefore work with daily prices. See here: galaxus.ch/en/wiki/6028

Exactly, it's the V2. And yes, it was already installed in my car.

No, I have no intention of selling for the time being... I just bought it 😅

This is the V2. Manufacturer number WOO-WFBKTR4-1CC.

The generation of the Wahoo Kickr Core mentioned in your product is not explicitly stated. However, the Wahoo Kickr Core is a mid-range model in the Wahoo range and has been released in different generations, although the exact generation is not directly indicated in the product name. The Kickr Core is known for its direct drive technology and is often offered as a more cost-effective alternative to the top-of-the-range Kickr model.

The scope of delivery of the "Kickr Core Zwift Cog / Click V2 - Exercise Bike" usually includes the Wahoo KICKR CORE Smart Trainer, the Zwift Cog and the Zwift Click. The Zwift Cog is a replacement for the cassette and enables virtual shifting, while the Zwift Click serves as a remote control to control the virtual gears. The KICKR CORE offers precise power measurement and automatic resistance control for a realistic riding experience. If you need specific details on the scope of delivery, I recommend checking the official product description on the Wahoo website.

The adapters for Thru Axle are actually included with the Wahoo KICKR CORE Smart Trainer. The package includes adapters for 12x142mm and 12x148mm Thru Axle, so they do not need to be ordered separately.

The Wahoo KICKR CORE is compatible with 8-, 9-, 10- and 11-speed cassettes, but not directly with 12-speed cassettes without additional adjustments. To mount a 12-speed cassette, you need a special freewheel adapter, as the KICKR CORE is not compatible with SRAM 12-speed cassettes as standard. You would need to purchase a Shimano/SRAM freehub adapter that enables compatibility with 12-speed cassettes. Regarding thru axles: The KICKR CORE is already equipped with the necessary adapters for 130/135mm Quick Release and 12x142 and 12x148 Thru Axle, so you do not normally need to purchase these separately.

You can use the Zwift Cog on the Wahoo Kickr Core, but there are a few important points to bear in mind: - The Zwift Cog must be removed from its original freehub and mounted on the Kickr Core's freehub. - It is necessary that the firmware of the Kickr Core is up to date to enable virtual shifting. - Virtual shifting functionality is dependent on hardware and software compatibility, but there are reports that it is possible after the latest firmware updates. It is advisable to follow the instructions for removing and installing the Zwift Cog on the Wahoo website or in relevant support articles.

-Towels on handlebars -Sweat catcher stretched from saddle to handlebars -Dry off after riding -Protect the bolts on the seat post and bottle cage with additional assembly grease. In principle, I also recommend checking the bottle cage screws from time to time after regular riding. They are often full of sweat and water and rot or rust away.

Do I really have to order these adapters now?

No. At Wahoo, they offer you the option of taking out a Zwift plan for 150 euros for 1 year. You also have this option if you buy the Kickr from Galaxus.

The cassette fits exactly in one orientation. The teeth on the freehub body and in the cassette have wider and less wide teeth. Align them exactly and simply slide them on without tilting. Hope that helps, it shouldn't be rocket science.

According to my research, there is a newer model or a customised version, the Wahoo Kickr Core Zwift One, which is equipped with the pre-installed Zwift Cog. However, this model is not currently available in our range. It offers Zwift-specific functions such as virtual shifting via the Zwift Cog and does not require a physical cassette. The main technical features such as performance accuracy and gradient simulation up to 16 % are identical and correspond to the regular Kickr Core.

As @richiamman said, simply turn until it fits. Then tighten with the appropriate tool, without which it is unfortunately not possible. If the cassette has play: According to "Drivetrain Compatibility [CORE]" (https://support.wahoofitness.com/hc/en-us/articles/13681629286674-Drivetrain-Compatibility-CORE), the 1.8mm spacer ring must be fitted behind the cassette for cassettes with more than 34 teeth.

165 is the total length of the axle. How wide are the dropouts? Adapters for 12x142 and 12x148 are included

I can't say, I don't have any.

No, it works via the Bluetooth interfaces of the Core & iPad. In the app (Zwift or mywhoosh) you search for the trainer and it is connected, it's very simple.

Unfortunately I can't answer that 100%, as I only ride a 10-speed cassette, an 11 is certainly possible

As far as I remember, two different spacer rings included
