About the KICKR (v6)

Wahoo's product page simply calls it 'KICKR Smart Trainer'; it is the WiFi-equipped v6 generation introduced in 2022 (per DC Rainmaker). Race Mode 10 Hz broadcasting over WiFi/Direct Connect. Internals are shared with the KICKR MOVE. A search-result snippet claimed a 'KICKR V6 launched late 2025' - this is contradicted by DC Rainmaker (2022) and was not relied upon.
