Welcome to the BikeControl Blog

We're thrilled to launch the official BikeControl blog — a place where we'll share product updates, indoor cycling tips, and device setup guides.

Whether you're a seasoned virtual racer or just getting started with smart trainers, this blog is for you.

What to Expect

Here's what you'll find on the blog going forward:

  • Product updates — be the first to know about new features, device support, and app compatibility changes
  • Setup guides — step-by-step walkthroughs for connecting your hardware to popular training apps
  • Tips & tricks — get the most out of your indoor cycling setup

Why BikeControl?

Many next-generation trainers and controllers ship with limited software support. BikeControl was built to fix that — giving you the freedom to use any compatible controller with most training apps.

Supported Devices

BikeControl currently supports over 17 devices, including:

  • Zwift Click / Click v2 / Ride / Play
  • Shimano Di2
  • Wahoo KICKR Bike Shift & Pro
  • SRAM AXS / eTap
  • Gamepads and Bluetooth buttons
  • OpenBikeControl Hardware

Get Involved

BikeControl's app code is public on GitHub (github.com/OpenBikeControl/bikecontrol), so you can see what the app does. That's also the place to report a bug or suggest a new feature.

Join the conversation in our Facebook Group or on Reddit.


Stay tuned for more posts. Happy riding!

  1. 7.0 - One Connection for Everything

    BikeControl 7.0 routes heart-rate, cadence and power sensors through the Bridge, uses AirPods Pro 3 heart rate on iOS 26 and saves rides to Apple Health.

  2. 6.6 - More Trainers, More Apps

    BikeControl 6.6 is mostly about the trainer at the other end of the shift. Riders ran the resistance self-test and sent in the results, and those reports turned into real fixes: felt per-gear resistance on trainers that had none, a floor under the easiest gears, and more trainers in the compatibility database. Plus FulGaz and Tacx Training as trainer apps — neither takes controller input, so BikeControl is their trainer and does the shifting — a Help Center in the app, and a language switcher for all six languages.

  3. 6.3 - the SRAM & Wheeltop release

    BikeControl 6.3 brings full SRAM AXS support: every individual button on your levers becomes a mappable control — shifting, music, steering, and more, with separate double-press actions. BikeControl backs up your AXS button configuration during setup and restores it whenever you want. Plus: WHEELTOP EDS shifters join Shimano Di2 as supported drivetrains, and Strappo joins as an officially supported trainer app.
