That’s a solution looking for a problem. Get an $80 lasco on amazon and set it to high and forget it

I think wahoo has fallen into corporate group decision making when a joke like this is being released and they’re behind on their tri type watch.

I can hear it now, "Yeah, I had a hell of a windy ride today - gusts were easily up to 30mph"

Surely a Lemond and a length of ducting would be easier?

I know it’s getting a bit of hate, but if that 48kph is the airspeed at around 1.5m i think that’s pretty impressive.

I picked up my Kickr Headwind today! I haven’t used it with Zwift yet but turning the fan speed to 100% has left me very impressed. It’s a lot of air!

I just feel like the wahoo desk and fan are WAY overpriced. I’m sure they’re good quality but for me I can’t justify spending that much when their are alternatives that are far less expensive and at least very close to equivalent. But that’s just me.

This. I applaud their creativity and design process but I can’t justify the price. My Lasko fan with a remote works just fine. If the prices were lower I’d be more inclined to buy the desk and maybe even the fan.

I have the overpriced desk....it is nice but overpriced for what it is. The fan seems like a gimmick. I bought one of these and it moves a crap ton of air. Way more than a normal fan.

I have the same fan and have the same impression. A better fan would have to have a remote control unit at a similar price.

That fan looks good. I’ll have to consider it. I have a fan on my table in front of me that blows on my face but I really want something moving air over my full body
