Wahoo KICKR Bike Shift virtual shifting
Add real gears to your Wahoo KICKR Bike Shift in any trainer app. BikeControl pairs with the trainer and changes its resistance as you shift, so the app never has to support virtual shifting itself.
The KICKR Bike Shift has its own shift buttons, so you already own the controller — BikeControl carries those buttons into apps that would not otherwise listen to them.
