Wahoo KICKR CLIMB

Wahoo KICKR CLIMB Indoor Grade Simulator

The Wahoo KICKR CLIMB Indoor Grade Simulator lifts and lowers the front of your bike to match the road on screen. Paired with a KICKR smart trainer, it reaches a 20% incline and a -10% decline in real time. Your body shifts on the bike the way it does on a real ascent, which brings your climbing muscles into the work. A tethered remote handles pairing and manual grade changes. The KICKR CLIMB fits the KICKR V6, V5, 2018 and 2017 Editions, the KICKR CORE and the KICKR SNAP, with road, mountain and tri bikes.

In the box you get the KICKR CLIMB, its power adapter, and adapters for quick release, 12x100, 15x100 and 15x110 hubs. With a trainer connected to the most popular training apps, the grade on the course and the resistance in the trainer change together.

Inside the KICKR CLIMB

How it works

Elevated Ride Feel
When a course or climbing workout tilts up or down, the KICKR CLIMB raises or lowers the bike to match as the road changes, and the trainer resistance changes with it.
Real-time grade
Power Position
Lifting the front of the bike puts you in the position of a real climb. You change position naturally, work your climbing muscles and practice pedaling technique indoors, ready for the hills outside.
Automatic or manual control
In automatic mode, the KICKR CLIMB reacts to grade changes from your app or device. Switch to Lock mode with the retractable remote and it responds only to manual commands from the remote.
Direct Proximity Pairing
The KICKR CLIMB remote makes it quick and easy to pair the unit with your KICKR smart trainer and get riding.
