Indoor cycling apps that work with Wahoo KICKR BIKE
Already ride with a Wahoo KICKR BIKE's shifters? 27 indoor cycling apps in this directory can use the buttons.
Price: 15 free, 7 freemium, and 5 by subscription. By kind: Virtual world 11, Training 6, Real video 4, Game 3, Map & routes 2, Game mod 1.
The KICKR BIKE changes gear by itself, so shifting works in every app. This list is about apps that also use its shifter buttons as controls, for steering, menus or the camera.
3 apps take them directly ("Built in" below). The others connect through BikeControl, which passes the buttons on over OpenBikeControl or, for a few apps, on its own; the Connects column shows which. BikeControl is made by Jonas, who builds this directory.
Sorted by name. Discontinued apps are left out.
