Wahoo is finally taking orders from UK customers. The company's most comprehensive indoor cycling setup, the Kickr Smart Bike, is featured in our guide to the best exercise bikes.
One brand leading the revolution in digital cycling data management and indoor training convenience is Wahoo, and with the Kickr bike, Wahoo has created what its engineers and industrial designers believe is the best indoor trainer. Weighing in at a hefty 42 kg, its mass provides a very sturdy base for riders who want to ride at peak power for short periods of time.
The technical specifications of the Kickr Bike include a 2200 watt high-performance electromagnetic motor that provides a natural cadence and resistance curve; a second motor changes the attitude of the Kickr Bike, allowing for up to 20% and up to 15% incline; a third motor is used to control the bike's speed, allowing for a maximum of 15% incline.
As one would expect from a brand deeply immersed in managing fitness data, Wahoo's Kickr has amazing digital convergence. The indoor trainer supports both Bluetooth and ANT+, allowing it to sync with almost any device you want to use, including Zwift's virtual world and Strava's competition realm.
Wahoo's Kickr Bike excels in digital features, but the mechanical customization is equally impressive. Bike length, seat and handlebar height can be adjusted, and Wahoo estimates that anyone between 1.52m and 1.95m tall should be able to find their ideal riding position on the Kickr.
No matter which drivetrain your road bike is equipped with, Wahoo Kickr can replicate its shift feel and pattern; Kickr bikes can replicate seven different custom gear shift configurations to match the feel of Shimano, SRAM, or Campagnolo.
Priced at £2,999.99, the Wahoo Kickr Bike is for those looking for a premium, dedicated indoor setup and is available for pre-order now and will be delivered in 1-2 weeks.
