All trainers go on sale each fall as part of individual retailer sales for VIP/members/etc. That said, I wouldn't assume the same will actually happen this year. After all, retailers can't keep trainers in stock - so there's little reason to give people a 20% discount. As for other trainers, I don't foresee any other major player new trainer announcements this year.
This makes a lot of sense. No reason for the retailer to give a large discount when they can't even keep them in stock.
In addition, 2020 has slowed or halted a lot of R&D, manufacturing and production. I'm thinking a lot of new bikes won't hit the market this fall either like they do most years?
In regards to the 2T or Kickr, I went with the 2T and love it. I like how quiet it is compared to my old manual trainer. It's so quiet that the other day I thought the flywheel was making a strange noise. Turns out it was my sweat soaked bibs rubbing back and forth on my saddle making a slight squeak. All I could think is how silent the trainer is for me to hear that noise. Road feel is awesome. The accuracy is good and I'd rather it report lower watts than higher if it's going to be off. I like the simulated descents. I also like that you don't have to buy a Kickr Climb as a separate and costly addition to the Kickr.
