It's a gripe with all of these types of indoor bike trainers, in general.
I do wish there was an option to choose which skewer you'd like included with the trainer (even if it costs a little bit extra), but this isn't a knock on the Kickr Snap itself. You do have to set up your bike - either with the included quick release skewer or an appropriate adapter if your bike has a thru-axle rear wheel - but once you get the hang of it, it's done in a snap (super cheesy pun intended). The trainer was ready to go right out the box, with no assembly required. And as someone who doesn't have a lot of time to spare, an easy setup is always at the top of my list. While I had a positive experience with all of the indoor bike trainers on this list, if I had to pick just one, it would be the Wahoo Kickr Snap. If you're thinking of buying the Neo 2T, which retails at around $1,400, make sure you check the specs first and you have a bike that's compatible - or that you're also comfortable investing in a different bike that is. Another thing to note is that while the Tacx Neo 2T does come with several spacers to make your bike fit, it's only compatible with certain cassette models. And to do the job properly, you need specialized tools.

The Neo 2T Smart trainer is the only one on this list that requires full removal of the back wheel and the cassette on your bike. There are some things you have to keep in mind with this trainer, though. And while I don't personally have the leg power or stamina to get up to the Neo 2T's power cap of 2,200 watts, even at my personal high speeds, it stayed stable without any shaking at all. The trainer was super quiet, which is nice if you're an early riser who wants to get some training in without waking up the rest of your house. If I closed my eyes, I would have thought I was riding up the slopes of the Dolomites. The result was almost eerily realistic and provided some serious road feel.

With the app, which is similar to Zwift, you can connect your trainer via Bluetooth and choose from several different workouts or "movies" that take you through simulated roads and inclines of up to 25%. Although you can use the Neo 2T as a standalone trainer, I focused on testing its smart training capabilities by connecting it to the Tacx Training app, which is free for basic functions, but requires a monthly subscription of $12 to $17 to access premium features. OK, your grandmother probably didn't have a bike trainer, but my point is that this thing is intense - in all of the best ways. The Tacx Neo 2T Smart Trainer is not your grandmother's indoor bike trainer stand.
