Ride The Revolution with Wahoo Fitness


When Wahoo Fitness created the KICKR, they really wanted to perfect it and continue to build on its success by challenging themselves with new products and increased product performance. They weren’t looking to start a revolution, just looking for a way to make indoor cycling suck less!

Fast forward to 2018 and Wahoo have now developed a complete indoor cycling ecosystem around the KICKR including training tools that provide the most realistic, accurate and immersive training experience you can find behind closed doors. Wahoo Fitness specialise in products designed to make indoor training more immersive, more challenging and–dare we say it–more fun. A revolution is exactly what has begun! 

The Wahoo Fitness Indoor EcoSystem

 

Wahoo KICKR Smart Trainers

Wahoo has made a lot of enhancements to the KICKR this year. To start, both the sound and pitch levels have been drastically reduced making it a virtually silent trainer that gives you the most ideal indoor acoustic riding experience you can get. A larger performance-optimized flywheel has also been implemented combining real-time responsiveness and precise power measurements (up to 2,200 watts) to deliver the most realistic, professional-grade indoor riding experience yet. 

The new Wahoo KICKR CORE features the same legendary flywheel technology that’s in the KICKR, delivering both accuracy and a real ride feel not found in trainers of its class. Its compact design, accurate power measurement, and compatibility with not only the KICKR CLIMB, but a wide range of bikes and training platforms is unlike anything on the smart trainer market today.

KICKR SNAP includes the control, accuracy and connectivity of both KICKR and CORE in a convenient wheel-on design that allows you to easily turn any road, mountain or TT bike into a powerful indoor smart trainer. Like its 2 bigger brothers, SNAP is also compatible with KICKR CLIMB taking your training to another level by integrating real ascents and descents into your workouts.  

KICKR CLIMB and HEADWIND 

Elevate your ride with KICKR CLIMB! CLIMB quickly raises and lowers your bike to match ascents of up to 20% and descents of -10% when paired with KICKR, CORE or SNAP. Climbing workouts and virtual courses are now more realistic than ever as the CLIMB recreates the grade changes in real time. CLIMB will also physically adjust your bike position tomimic real roads and mountain climbing allowing you to naturally change position on the bike, engage climbing muscles and improve pedaling technique while indoors so that you can become more efficient and powerful outdoors.  

Designed to complement KICKR Smart Trainers, the new KICKR HEADWIND is the first purpose-built smart fan designed specifically for indoor cyclists. It connects to heart rate monitors, smart trainers and speed sensors to automatically deliver a powerful, realistic headwind (up to 30 mph), simulating the air flow cyclists feel riding on the open road. The targeted airflow pattern is designed to tunnel the fans airflow at your body where you need it most and provides a superior outdoor feel while indoors. 

 

ELEMNT Bike Computers 

Experience the game-changing power and simplicity of ELEMNT and ELEMNT BOLT, the 100% wireless GPS bike computers that take the complexity out of using and operating a bike computer while providing all the functionality you need out of any comparative GPS head unit.
