Frequently asked questions

Does the Wahoo KICKR Bike V2 support virtual shifting?

The Wahoo KICKR Bike V2 is an FTMS-compatible smart trainer, so it is expected to work with BikeControl virtual shifting. BikeControl applies each gear change as a resistance change at the trainer, so you get real gears in any trainer app.

Which controllers work with the Wahoo KICKR Bike V2?

The Wahoo KICKR Bike V2 has its own shift buttons, so you already have a controller — BikeControl reads them and carries them into any trainer app. You can also use Zwift Click v2, Zwift Click and Zwift Play if you prefer.

Which apps can I use with the Wahoo KICKR Bike V2?

Any of them. BikeControl changes resistance at the trainer rather than asking the app to shift, so virtual shifting works in Zwift, MyWhoosh, Rouvy, TrainingPeaks and Biketerra alike — including apps with no native virtual shifting.

Can I customize the gear ratios?

Yes. Gear configurations are fully customizable in BikeControl with 1 to 30 gears, named configurations, and a drag-to-tune curve preview.

Is virtual shifting free in BikeControl?

Virtual shifting is included for up to 20 minutes per day in the free/base version. BikeControl Pro (around 2.50 EUR/USD per month) removes the time limit.
