Care and Maintenance

The KICKR CORE requires minimal cleaning and maintenance if dirt or grime collects. If cleaning is needed, clear any debris and use a moist, soft cloth to wipe surfaces, avoiding dripping moisture into any part of the CORE itself. Also avoid using strong cleaning agents as these may damage or reduce the lifespan of your CORE.
