I have a TACX Vortex and wanted a TACX mat to match but I have heard good things about this KICKR mat. I was not disappointed, Its a good size to fit my smart trainer, bike and to catch my sweat.
Setup is easy, just unroll it and it will lay flat after a while. The first time I used books to flatten it out but I don't think it was necessary.
The mat has a good weight and feel to it.
Sweat is easily wiped clean and not absorbed in to the mat.
After removing my bike and trainer there are dents in the mat from the weight which I was worried about but went away almost completely, enough for my liking anyway.
Very satisfied with my purchase and glad I decided to spend the extra money instead of getting a yoga mat.
Its a bike mat that says Kickr on it. That could be a bit cheesy and is only relent of course if you have a Wahoo Kickr. But if you do, it is a high quality mat that will improve the appearance of your pain cave significantly.
I was using a regular mat and the KICKR was wobbling a bit too much for my taste - with this Mat, it makes a world of difference, the reduction in Wobble is noticeable and it is very easy to clean and maintain. I only give it 4 starts because I think it is a bit on the expensive side of things.
Very high quality. Even with heavy use there is no breakdown. It also holds up to my road cleats. I've gotten on and off my bike many times in the months I have owned this. No sign of wear.
Just the right size, and it keeps the sweat off the carpet. Makes the whole bike setup also much more appealing.

Description
The Wahoo Kickr floor mat is the perfect partner for your indoor bike trainer. It's water resistant and anti-slip to keep you and your training device place no matter how much you sweat! the thickness and material make it noise insulating, so your family will thank you during those early morning workouts.
This was expensive but I needed something quality for my Kickr and I figured I'd just go w/ the Kickr branded mat. So far so good. Catches the sweat, kickr is stable on it and it seems sturdy. Though I do try to avoid standing on it too much w/ cycling cleats just to be safe. If you spent the cash on the kickr already... may as well spend a bit more on the proper mat!
I am using the pad on top of carpeting. It may be better suited for a hard floor. When I stand on it with my cycling shoe cleats it leaves a pretty massive dent in the pad. It does return to its original flatness though. It works great and seems to be of top quality material.
Having tried a couple other mats this one was a class above. Does a really good job of sound deadening and it doesn't have a long "memory". Even when rolled relatively tight and compact if left on the floor while I get ready for a workout it is flat by the time I am ready. Save yourself the money I didn't on trying to save some bucks on lower quality mats.
It's a little big for me and my small set up, but my speedplay pedals put big indents into it this morning, and no rips and it bounced right back. I wanted something that let me easily drag my kickr set up across the floor as well and this is holding up so far.
I put my taxc NEO 2 on this, and it is silent. Downstairs neighbor hears nothing. Also helps collect the perspiration which helps save the floor.
