Wahoo Kickr (V6) vs Tacx Neo 2T Indoor Trainer Comparison and review

The specifications and claims are similar, but is there a different feel in use? In short - YES Wahoo and Tacx are the two big indoor trainer manufacturers, with the latest Wahoo Kickr V6 and Tacx Neo 2T having almost exactly the same specifications, with one key being that both claim 1% power accuracy. Buying either is a significant investment, so wish the opportunity to ride and test both back to back, I was able to see where the differences are, and if there is a clear winner. Through the winter months riding indoors is a big part of my training routine, and having a good training system, and a good indoor trainer is key to being able to train well. FTP (Functional Threshold Power) is only directly comparable to the same device and in the same circumstances. The Wahoo felt slightly easier when riding, but this may have been due to the way it smooths the power compared to the Tacx, or the power figure comparison versus the actual power produced. Since filming and using the Kickr V6 more I did a Half-Monty test (FTP test) and saw a significant 20 watt increase in FTP, and 10 watt increase in MAP (5 minute power). This may simply be increased fitness in the 4 weeks since the previous test, but I believe at least some element is due to the device measurements.
