These real grade changes create a more immersive virtual riding experience while also engaging climbing muscles and improving pedaling technique to enable the rider to become a more efficient and powerful climber.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"w-full aspect-video\">\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"200\" height=\"113\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iyr2PWYZ89I?feature=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>In addition to reacting to grade changes from external sources like Zwift, TrainerRoad, or from pre-loaded routes on Wahoo\u2019s ELEMNT &amp; ELEMNT BOLT GPS cycling computers, the KICKR CLIMB can be \u2018locked,\u2019 wherein it only responds to commands received from the bar-mounted remote, enabling the rider to manually adjust the grade with the simple press of a button.<\/p>\n<p>The latest versions on the KICKR and KICKR SNAP Smart Trainers have been optimized to allow this dynamic KICKR CLIMB movement creating an unmatched indoor training system. The smooth, intuitive ride feel of the KICKR\u2019s legendary flywheel combined with the actual grade changes created by the KICKR CLIMB make for a truly immersive indoor riding experience. The KICKR CLIMB supports a wide range of modern hub configurations, including quick-release, 12&#215;100, 15&#215;100, and 15&#215;110 thru axle hubs.<\/p>\n<div class=\"grid grid-cols-12 gap-4\">\n<div class=\"col-span-6\">\n<a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-40160200-1504519343.jpg\" data-fileid=\"1038872\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"1038872\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-40160200-1504519343.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-40160200-1504519343.jpg\" title=\"\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-span-6\">\n<a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-10121800-1504519343.jpg\" data-fileid=\"1038871\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"1038871\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-10121800-1504519343.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-10121800-1504519343.jpg\" title=\"\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The estimated time of arrival of the KICKR CLIMB in South Africa is November 2017.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bg-slate-100 p-5\">\n<h2 class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">Want to buy an indoor trainer?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bikehub.co.za\/classifieds\/category\/62-indoor-trainers\/\" rel=\"external nofollow\">Find new or used smart trainers and accessories in our marketplace here.<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wahoo Fitness, the leader in workout apps and connected fitness devices, has lifted the veil on the all-new KICKR CLIMB \u2013 an innovative new product that adds physical grade changes to indoor rides on the new KICKR Smart Trainers, taking riders to new heights in indoor training. \u201cThe world we ride in isn\u2019t flat, which [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":34221,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[997,83,996,998],"featured_location":[],"class_list":["post-16444","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech","tag-kickr-climb","tag-wahoo","tag-wahoo-fitness","tag-wahoo-kickr-climb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bikehub.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16444","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bikehub.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bikehub.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bikehub.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bikehub.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16444"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bikehub.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16444\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bikehub.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34221"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bikehub.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16444"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bikehub.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16444"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bikehub.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16444"},{"taxonomy":"featured_location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bikehub.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/featured_location?post=16444"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
