KICKR SETUP

Place your KICKR on a stable, level surface and open the legs by (1) pressing down on the blue leg-lock tabs and (2) pivoting the legs outward until they snap in place. (NOTE: Ensure the leg-lock tabs have popped back up and secured the legs in an open position.)

FOR 130MM OR 135MM QUICK RELEASE

Adapters Needed: A and B

KICKR comes pre-configured out of the box for bicycles with 130mm quick release spacing. If you have a bicycle with 130mm spacing proceed to “Attaching your Bicycle”. For 135mm spacing, remove quick release skewer, reverse Adapter B and reinstall quick release skewer.

FOR 142MM OR 148MM THRU AXLE

Adapters Needed: C and D

To be used with the 12mm thru axle supplied with bicycle.

ATTACHING YOUR BICYCLE

Shift your bicycle chain into the smallest sprocket in the front and rear, then remove your rear wheel. Install your bicycle on the KICKR by aligning the chain with the smallest sprocket on the KICKR and pressing down to fully seat the dropouts on the KICKR's axle.

For bicycles with quick release - Secure your bicycle by tightening the quick release acorn nut and clamping the quick release lever shut. The quick release lever is “open” when it curves away from the bicycle frame (1); the lever is “closed” when it curves towards the bicycle frame (2). The handle of the quick release skewer is always on the non-drive (non cassette) side of the KICKR. Only use the provided quick release skewer while using the KICKR.

For bicycles with thru axle - Secure your bicycle by reinstalling your bicycle's thru axle (3) and tightening to manufacturer specifications (4).

CAUTION! Failure to properly tighten the quick release skewer or thru axle may result in property damage or personal injury. If you are unsure of the proper tension, please consult your local bike shop or contact Wahoo Fitness for assistance. Do NOT ride the KICKR until the quick release skewer or thru axle is tightened.

PROTIP: Lift the front wheel up while pressing down on the saddle to ensure the bicycle is fully seated on the trainer.

COMPLETE YOUR SETUP USING THE WAHOO FITNESS APP

SPINDOWN: Before using the KICKR for the first time you should perform a spindown to calibrate your device. Additionally, a spindown should be repeated approximately every 2 weeks through the Wahoo Fitness App to ensure the most accurate power data.

START A WORKOUT: From the workout screen select the green "Start" button to begin the workout. Swipe right to view the KICKR page. This page enables you to view your workout and control the KICKR.

KICKR WORKOUT MODES:

The Wahoo Fitness App has the following workout modes that you can use to control your KICKR:

LEVEL: Just like riding on a fluid or wind trainer, the faster you go, the harder it gets. The level you select determines the progression of your power curve.

RESISTANCE: This allows you to set the resistance of the brake anywhere from 0 to 100%. Regardless of speed, the brake will remain set until you decide to change it.

ERG: Set your desired power, the KICKR will increase or decrease the resistance to maintain a constant power output, regardless of speed.

SIM: Enter your weight, bike type, riding position, headwind, and grade and the KICKR will accurately model the power curve just as if you were riding outdoors.

COMPATIBILITY

From your phone, tablet or laptop to your bike computer, heart rate monitor or bike sensors, KICKR Smart Trainers offer the widest range of compatibility and connectivity.

• iOS must be running version 8 or newer
  • Android 4.3 or newer and BLE enabled
  • Mac requires ANT+ USB Stick or BLE enabled
