To clarify, the Kickr come with a very low end cassette that is cheap and noisy. Even with a new chain and proper derailleur adjustment, the cassettes on both of my Kickrs were not up to my standards; I threw them away and replaced them with decent Shimano cassettes.
Supposedly, 12 speed Shimano is said to fit an 11 speed hub so if a person went to 12 speed, one could just fit a new cassette.
Personally, I don’t have a problem with buying a new quality cassette for my Kickrs if and when I ever go to 12.
Edited to add, the Kickr cassette is a Sun Race, IIRC. I have a new Kickr that I just un-boxed and I’m pretty sure that is what it was.
