Wahoo KICKR BIKE SHIFT

The smart bike for road riders who want their outdoor fit and gearing indoors without paying for motion. Virtual shifting can be set to behave like SRAM, Shimano or Campagnolo controls and copy your road bike's gearing, crank length switches between 165 and 175 mm, and it handles 2,200 watts and 20 percent grades. One in-depth review found its drivetrain silent, which makes it easy to live with in a shared house. Against the pricier KICKR BIKE models it gives up the physical tilt and any simulated downhill coasting. It works with all the major training apps but has no screen, so plan on a tablet or TV. It launched in the US at $2,999, $1,000 below its older sibling.
