Use Wahoo KICKR HEADWIND with Biketerra
Controller
Wahoo KICKR HEADWIND
Trainer app
Biketerra
Does it work?
Yes
Through BikeControl, with the inputs Biketerra already accepts
Biketerra is not a BikeControl partner: BikeControl sends the inputs it already accepts, the way a keyboard or a Bluetooth controller does.
BikeControl sets the Wahoo KICKR HEADWIND's fan speed itself over Bluetooth, from buttons on your controller, while you ride Biketerra. Biketerra never has to know the fan is there.
Try it for 5 days (7 on Windows) to check it works with your setup. Then Base, a one-time purchase per platform, or Pro.
What to know about Wahoo KICKR HEADWIND with Biketerra
- What the Wahoo KICKR HEADWIND does
- The Wahoo KICKR HEADWIND is a fan, not a controller: it has no buttons to send to Biketerra. BikeControl drives it directly over Bluetooth, and a controller's buttons can set its speed, step it up or down, or switch it to heart-rate mode.
- Connection
- The fan itself needs no connection to Biketerra; this is for your controller's other buttons. Biketerra works with Local only. Local: BikeControl presses keys and taps on the device it runs on, so it has to run on the same device as the app.
- Platforms
- Biketerra on iPhone, iPad, Android, macOS, and Windows. Not Apple TV: BikeControl can only reach Biketerra there over the network, which Biketerra doesn't offer.
- Official support
- Biketerra is not an official BikeControl partner; BikeControl works with it through the standard inputs it already accepts. BikeControl is not affiliated with Biketerra.
- Trial, Base and Pro
- You can check that BikeControl works with your setup before you buy: the trial lasts 5 days with up to 80 controller actions a day (7 days on Windows, without a daily cap). After that you get 15 controller actions a day until you buy Base, a one-time purchase of about $4.99. Pro (about $2.50/month) adds three actions per button, use on all your platforms, and BikeControl's own virtual shifting, which you can try for 20 minutes a day, a daily trial of Pro.
How to use Wahoo KICKR HEADWIND with Biketerra
Install BikeControl
Install BikeControl on the device that runs Biketerra. Biketerra only takes BikeControl's input through the Local connection, which works on that same device.
Pair the Wahoo KICKR HEADWIND
Pair the Wahoo KICKR HEADWIND with BikeControl over Bluetooth, together with the controller whose buttons should change the fan speed.
Map the fan actions
Assign fan actions to your controller's buttons: set a speed (0, 25, 50, 75 or 100 %), step the speed up or down, or switch to heart-rate mode.
Ride
Ride Biketerra as usual. BikeControl changes the fan speed directly, so no connection to Biketerra is needed for the fan.
See all supported controllers and apps, or download BikeControl, free to try on iOS, Android, Windows and macOS.
