Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / ThinkRider X2Max vs KICKR CORE 2
« on: August 04, 2026, 03:38:22 PM »
Hi everyone,

I’m considering buying a new indoor trainer and I’m undecided between the ThinkRider X2Max and the KICKR CORE 2.

The ThinkRider would cost €279, plus the price of a 12-speed Shimano cassette, while the KICKR with the Cog is currently €399. The price difference is not huge, so which one would you recommend?

Are there any important factors I should consider before buying?

I would be using MyWhoosh as my training software.

I was, and i still am, this close to getting one. A mentor of me once said "if it's too good to be true, it probably is"

I recently watched this video comparing the Ryet saddle to the Trek saddle. Despite the price difference, I find it incredible to see in the comments how many people say they have a Ryet and how many are happy with it pretty interesting.

So, i think you need to install the rubber ring first of all. Then get the manual and follow the instruction in the reverse order i think you should be fine :) I hope you didn't ruin the threads :)

I found them on AliExpress for 300 usd. How much is in Taobao? I'm having issues in creating an account there.

I'm also having some trouble opening an account on Taobao. I tried following some online guides, but nothing worked. It would be nice if there were a guide here.

I've got a standard ryet saddle (no 3d padding) and no issue with the bibs

Hi mate welcome in the club!
You are following the same path as many of us with all the components, so you are in good hands.
My bike with the same component as you just clocked 6k this year alone.
Just a little tips for the handlebar, be sure to cut a little bit more the brakes line you will need it for the one piece routing

I think you'd better stop following the forum.

BTW, I'm still super curious to try a frame; I'll get one as soon as they start shipping.

I can confirm the quality of BCBE. I’ve been using these for a few months now https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005011889694717.html

And especially now with the hot weather, they’re proving to be really good. The padding is comfortable for the usual long rides of 4+ hours, the leg length is good too, and the straps are wide and very comfortable. You don’t feel them pulling in awkward places like with other bibs. And no weird logos or writing

Well, at this point, it must be a great frame. I know an Italian team that uses IKON frames (R033 at this point).
At this point, I might give it a thought. I really like the look. Does anyone know the prices?
