Ridden mine since 2020 several times a week with my 4 bikes.
The tuck at the end nearly took me out mate love it.. I was about to purchase one of these but now I wonder if it will work with my MTB...
Thanks for your review!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good summary thanks. Just bought one of these over the Cyclops M2
Thanks. I replaced my Magnus with a Snap. Much better.
Just got one, never mind all the bells and whistles, all I know is its the nearest I've come to road feel. Very pleased with it.
Hello. I've really enjoyed your video. Since 2-3 week, I'm studying Wheel-on intereactive smart trainer, and my idea was to select the Wahoo snap. Now you definitly convinced me that this is a good choice. In term of performance, and effort resistance it seems to be the best. My fear is just about the noise....
My bike level is the following : 10 000 km/year but with a "low" average speed of around "27-28 km/h". I'm biking on different Fitness bikes from TREK (FX 7.3 and FX 7.4). From the begininng this year, I have less time to road outside, I would need to invest in this type of machine for continously practicing late in the evening when everybody is sleeping for may be the 2-3 next years.....
I don't have a parking or an extra room, so I will have to mount / umount the trainer after every "ride" in a room quite "far" from bedrooms, and I plan to use through Zwift. ...
As a single question :Do you think that this is a good choice for my practive plan, or do you think that there is a better alternative in term of noise level?
Thanks for your feedback.
Raphaël.
Hi Raphael, thanks for the question.
No matter what your needs are the Wahoo Kickr Snap is definitely a good choice. But if noise and storage are a concern I would recommend looking into the Stac Halycon. Its a completely silent trainer that also folds up real small. Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to try it so I don't have much to say about performance but other reviewers have so I would suggest checking out their videos.
Thanks for your precious advice.Have a good day.
Good video. I wish the fan was off to really hear the trainer. What is the fork connected to? I’m not familiar with it. I think I will buy one today, everyone seems to like them, so I can ride when it’s raining, even if it’s not winter yet. Thanks
How does this compare to Saris M2 Trainer?
Thinking about a Kickr but you mentioned it's compatible with most new mountain bikes. I have a Cannondale Trail 7 that was thinking about using it with. Do u think this would work?
The Trail 7 uses a quick release axle so it would work with no issues. Just use the provided steel qr and get a slick tire and you are good to go.
Are you going to use smooth tires? You can't use tires with knobby tread.
Smooth tire is definitely recommended. Will be quieter and not wear out as fast.
I can confirm that it won't fit 406 (16") wheel size without some additional metal work (the Kickr Snap frame is all steel). Other than that, it looks really well build, so worth the effort of making it fit my bike.
Does this work with single speed bikes?
A single speed will work just fine unless you are referring to a fixed gear bike which is not recommended
I have a Kickr Snap and I think it's pretty awesome. I don't think the Super Tuck is going to help. It did make me laugh
Sounds like a vitamix got stuck in a concrete mixer.
