The Neo vs KICKR debate almost always comes down to people saying I’m not paying $200-$300 more for the Neo. The issue, at least with the vast majority of my discussions, is that people don’t really pay attention to why it costs 20% more and what are the long and short term benefits.
Example above. Dude makes reference to Neo’s flywheel having no clue it doesn’t use a flywheel. Tried to convince a friend last week to go with the Neo and to them is was only $1400 vs $1100. I know calibrations, warm ups, spin downs, and future maintenance and belt replacements are going to cause this person more than $300 worth of stress and agita.
GMANT I had 2 kickrs (bought firs years back when NEO didn't even existed) and few months ago bought NEO (I love Made in Netherlands sticker and I like precision of it)
Do you have one? Because you sound like the one without clue about NEO ( Zero moving parts?) Are you sure there are no moving parts in NEO? What is that big heavy metal round plate with magnets on the inside, I call it flywheel, it is installed on some kind of bearing, that bearing depending on type, might or might not like wobble of the rocker.
The only part I do not like about NEO is that little $hitty fan installed for no reason inside, my will get clogged with dust for sure, having said that NEO is way above Kickr.
