    Does anyone on here use a Kickr Snap? Could you give my your opinions of same if you do please? Looking at a new turbo and it seems like a decent go relatively. Expensive but half the price of direct drive.

    Thanks.

    Bit of a bump here! Looking into one of these but lot of reports on power accuracy issues. Anyone got one and care to share experiences?

    I have recently got a kickr snap. I use it with a powertap. The power is miles off. I haven't spent a lot of time trying to sort it out as I use power match mode in trainerroad and use the powertap power when using zwift. Positives are there is a nice smooth road feel. I couldn't recommend it at the moment, but each day I fixed a bug or 2. I am definitely happier than I was with it,but couldn't recommend it to someone who didn't have a powermeters.

    Thanks for the honest feedback. I don't have a power meter and so the power measuring aspect of the trainer is important to me. This is a bugger because on paper it ticks all the boxes for the price and I don't want to fork out 1k+ for a direct drive version.... the search continues!

    I would buy the best "dumb" trainer you can and pick up a second hand pm. Erg mode and zwift are over rated in my opinion.
