About This Product...
With effortless efficiency and quiet compliance, this lightweight endurance road machine helps you ride stronger and longer. The composite frame and purpose-built components smooth out rough roads and minimise fatigue.
Key Performance Factors
Functional simplicity
Free of cumbersome gimmickry, the frameset is one of the lightest in its category. With a perfect balance of high-performance reactivity and all-day comfort, it offers a “less is more” experience for modern endurance road riding.
Engineered compliance
Advanced-grade composite frame and fork are specifically engineered for endurance road riding, delivering a smooth and efficient ride quality that minimises fatigue on long rides. The new D-Fuse components work together to further absorb road shocks and vibrations.
Total control
New Contact D-Fuse handlebar features ergonomic shaping and an 8-degree flare for comfort and control on all-day rides. Wide, alloy rims are optimised for high-volume tubeless tyres (up to 38mm), providing predictable handling and stability from asphalt to cobbles.

Exactly what I was looking for
I’ve been using Zwift with the Wahoo Kickr Core and it has completely transformed my indoor cycling experience. The trainer pairs seamlessly with Zwift, and the ride feels incredibly smooth and realistic, with responsive resistance changes that mimic climbs and sprints perfectly.
Setup was straightforward, and the Kickr Core runs quietly, which makes it ideal for home use. I especially like how immersive the Zwift routes feel – the combination of the platform’s visuals and the trainer’s accurate power readings really motivates me to push harder.
Overall, the Wahoo Kickr Core and Zwift are a fantastic combo for structured training, group rides, or just exploring virtual routes when outdoor riding isn’t an option. Highly recommend for anyone serious about improving their cycling fitness.
Great quality from a reputable company. I also have their knee sleeves.
Shipping was fast and efficient and reliable.
Would definitely purchase from the vendor again
James replied to my online inquiry promptly and in less than 24 hours my items had been sourced and the order dispatched. Very impressed with the professional and quality service. I highly recommend this business, in particular it's online service and sales platform.
Great winter long sleeve jersey that has a nice cut and fit
Super fast delivery, sweet item
I always had great respect for the bike staff and the staff that worked at the south Geelong store I'm hoping that everyone will still get the same kind service from the staff at the new store in Geelong Mercer Street going out of the city great place to do business with the degrandi cycle clients
Got what I ordered, great delivery
Excellent speedy service
Fairly priced and promptly posted
I bought the fulcrum front wheel and the item was spot on. There was an issue with the bearing cap which was missing. I called the store and Conor, one of their technician resolve the issue without hassle.
Excellent customer service! I highly recommend.
Delivered quickly and good price. Campagnolo, always good.
I'm very happy with my Campagnolo Centaur 10 speed Powertorque Alloy Crankset. It was delivered very quickly in a sturdy box. It looks brand new ( it was manufactured in Italy in 2012 ). The crankset looks fantastic. All I need now is a bike to put it on. Thank you.
