Wahoo makes my favorite ‘smart’ trainer for indoor bike riding. I’ve been riding various iterations of the Wahoo KICKR Smart Trainer since it came out in 2012. I’ve also dabbled in riding roller-style trainers at times, not always successfully. So I was excited to try the KICKR ROLLR, a hybrid roller trainer that locks in the bike’s front wheel so you don’t go flying if you lose concentration while riding.
For skiers who want control, performance, and fun on descents paired with a light setup for fast and efficient uphill travel, Tecnica’s Zero G Peak will be the 2022-2023 boot of choice.
