I have my Wahoo KICKR shift since about 8 weeks now. Replaced a TACX NEO OG. I changed the handlebars and tape to the same model as suggested by Shane, added the direct connect adapter (after I lost a ZWIFT connection once in one of the first rides) and finally was able to fix the stem-slipping issue. It took me some time to adjust it for me - as with long legs and short arms, the APP does not help at all with its suggestions. I am very happy with it now. Hope, this joy will last.

Great review, thanks so much! In the body of the review and wrap-up you really emphasize the importance of being in the right virtual gear for ERG mode. Which exact gear is that, and is there any way to even figure out if you're in the right one if you don't have an Elemnt? Do virtual gears reset each ride, meaning I have to hunt for the right one before each ERG ride? I only ride ERG, so the gear would only change if it resets at start. Thanks again, terrific review.

Hey Shane! I saw you at the Amy's GOR gravel fondo last Saturday. I wasn't sure you wanted to talk and I'm a bit timid so I decided to leave you alone (not sure what I would say to you anyway, other than hi/bye haha). I hope you had a good ride - I couldn't complete it and turned back at the aid station. The muddy gravel climbs were brutal to the point I had to dismount and hike up! The descent was awesome though and I've got it all recorded on my bike-mounted GoPro (I may upload it on the weekend). My excuse for turning back was that I wanted to save my legs for the road event on Sunday. 😝 I rode about 80KM all up on the weekend, which is a lot for me! Anyway, it was great to see you (from afar 😂).

I think I might be buying one of these before the year is out. My current trainer bike is basically ruined after 10,000km+ on a trainer so something has to change. It’s not clear if my OG Tacx Neo can be made to accommodate my new 11 speed bike with thru-axle, but I’m not sure that I want to subject a nice bike to being on a trainer anyway. The regular Kickr bike is simply more than I’m prepared to pay but this seems to have no deal-breaking compromises (for me) with enough of a discount to ease the pain

Hi Matt, could you share how your bike got ruined? I am using my only road bike both outdoors and also tons of miles on the trainer in winter. Indoors I have a powerful fan, wear a sweat headband, and put a sweat guard (“bike thong”) over my top tube. I haven’t noticed any problems, but wondering if perhaps I am placing strange stress points on my road bike from trainer use (it is an aluminum Cannondale).
@MattSwain1 10 ай бұрын
@@toddtannenbaum7092 It is mostly the sweat really. I think my setup is better now than it used to be now that I’ve got a Wahoo Headwind fan and a bike thong 😂 versus just a regular fan and a towel previously. The bike is an aluminium Giant Defy from around 2012. The headset on the bike is loose, the front wheel has lost a spoke, it all creaks like crazy, the shifting is all messed up… there’s a whole catalogue of things, some more easily/cheaply fixed than others. I don’t think there’s been any issues from any stress points but it’s not been ridden outside in 5+ years. My new bike is a fancy carbon thing with Di2 so I don’t want to be swapping that in and out of the trainer

I just purchased a KickR Shift along with an Element Bolt v2. I have a newbie Element user question about the gear display on the Bolt. I can get the screen to provide a graphic display of gearing along with wattage, ride time, rpms, and ride mode “PASSIVE CONTROL KICKR FROM ANOTHER APP”. I have not been able to figure out how to zoom in on the graphic display of gearing to provide more detailed gear information including the numeric gear. How do you do this? I can zoom in on data fields on other display pages but not on the page noted above. I know, duh eh?
@BrentNeal1979 10 ай бұрын
I know everyone says shipping and manufacturing costs are up and so these inflated prices are justified, but the Zwift Hub felt like a pretty sturdy rebuke to that line of reasoning from all the other trainer companies. I'd love this if it were 20-25% cheaper, or if there was some assurance or even if it were likely that it would have the same durability as a trainer+bike combo (I've had the same bike on two different trainers over the course of a decade). I just find it hard to believe that if I bought this it would still be working for me even five or six years from now.

Every time someone asks name and I say Shane, they go James, I say no Shane. Anyway if you have alternative bars say the Controltec ones you had on the Kickr Bike would you swap them out immediately before even starting to ride the Shift. Possibly looking at getting it here in Uk but if the handlebars are naff maybe it’s best to swap them out during setup. Good insightful video as always.

I also have a Kickr v5 and ERG is close to 100% perfect in Zwift, it stays solid at the ERG power value without jumping around. Do you know if there will be a fix to the bike shift to correct this, or if this is it? Think ERG now is close to useless in Zwift with Bike Shift. Thanks for any info on this subject

Do you think that the quieter drive unit will come to the Wahoo Kickr Bike in a version 3 incarnation? As a low cadence grinder especially when climbing, I hate the resonance of version 1 at 65 rpm - I have been living in hope that someone will take version 1 and 2 apart and find the noise eliminating difference then do a DIY mod job guide (it may be as simple as drilling a hole somewhere to allow pressurised air to escape) but I may be left with wearing out my version 1 bike and then buying a version 3 / 4 model ...
@songodan45 10 ай бұрын
I wonder if that would even be something they would be willing to do as the flywheel on the Kickr Bike has motors the hep control it leading to some assistance as he described to get started and the downhill simulation part of it. Would love for them to figure out a way to decrease the noise/hum… maybe encasing the flywheel instead of the current open concept could help?… not sure. I would really love for them to update the frame thickness to be more ergonomic like they have on the shift though! Also maybe some way to make the creaking quieter in the tilt feature in the Kickr Bike.

@@songodan45 I contacted Wahoo Support when version 2 was released to find out if there was a mod kit to fix version 1. Wahoo denied that there was a noise issue with version 1. I sent them a video of me riding when the sound changes at 65 rpm and also referred to the Kickr Smart Bike reviews by @gplama and @Dcrainmaker and Wahoo still refused to acknowledge the issue so it needs to be a third party hack. BTW when I needed to buy a new fan I did not buy a Wahoo Kickr Headwind in protest.

It's essential "full syncro with buttons for front derailleur removed" and the change-over point is not configurable (and badly chosen). Really would like to get a semi-syncro option as well as an ability to select the up/downshift points.

Great review. Sorry to say at that price, I feel I can do better. Cheap Carbon frame, 11sp Di2, cheap front wheel w Zwift Hub and you're good to go. $5k AUD is a lot of money especially for a 2nd, 3rd, 4th bike that is ONLY for indoors.

Does the Kickr Bike Shift has a chain? Does it need maintenance? in case I don't use the Wahoo cycle computer because it doesn't have a battery, can I use the gears without worrying about crossing the chain?
@gplama 7 ай бұрын
It's belt driven. In theory it shouldn't need very much maintenance at all. It's like to have a similar maintenance schedule/procedures as the Kickr Bike. www.wahoofitness.com/media/wysiwyg/instructions/kickrbike/KICKR-BIKE-Maintenance-Guide.pdf

i purchased this bike, and find it more harder to pedal than my old elite direto. instead of riding in 2,5wkg now i ride in 1,5-1,7 wkg, and that is a signifacant difference. and it feels like i am on an uphill most of the time. maybe its just me that needs to get used to my new bike.

The WattBike ATOM units I've ridden were pretty terrible when it comes to holding ERG set-points. They underperformed when put through my testing protocol. I even went out of my way to borrow one to re-test when I was informed by WattBike I'd no longer be considered for any media review units.... and that performed horribly too. I didn't waste my time posting the follow-up review of that. Overall I've had a bad experience with the product and the company to date. My door is open for that to change.... I might reach out to them again one day.

£2700 still feels far too much for an indoor bike!
@MattSwain1 10 ай бұрын
It’s a lot of money for sure but it depends how much you’ll use it. I’ve put over 10,000km onto my Tacx Neo and the bike that lives on it - the Neo cost £1000 6 years ago and the bike was also £1000 around 10 years ago and that bike is now ruined from indoor riding. My assumption is that a unit like this should be better built to cope with the strain of sweaty Zwift sessions. I think if you train regularly then it’s probably worth it, it just that everything is now expensive!
@danabc322 10 ай бұрын
@@MattSwain1 That’s what makes the Kickr bike seem so expensive to me! That neo is still £1,000 today, so I could buy one and still have £1,700 left for a decent outdoor bike for only a slight inconvenience of having to remove the rear wheel. If the quality of the internals are anything like the cheap finishing kit, I wouldn’t expect it to last 10 years (although Wahoo were good about replacing the main part of my kickr snap twice in 3 years, but even that replacement is done now).

Gday from Hobart Shane. I’ve wanted to get my hands on a Stages SB20 for some time - to combine the best of Zwift and regular spin riding. Unfortunately that bike is about 5y old now - and still costs MORE than the brand new Shift! I’m seeing a lot of value in the Shift now instead, especially with some poor feedback I’m reading online about Stages and customer support. Are there any new smart bike releases in the wings - or has that market kinda died now - and it’s Wahoo or nothing? Cheers mate. 🦙
@gplama 5 ай бұрын
I don't expect we'll see any new bikes this year. The Neo Bike Plus is still relatively new, so is the Kickr BIKE v2 and SHIFT. And for reasons you've pointed out, Stages... I don't think we'll see an SB40 any time soon.
