Technologies:

Automatic Spin Down: The KICKR V5’s automatic calibration removes the need for the regular spin down functionality, instead, it continuously calibrates the KICKR throughout a ride so that your power accuracy is always correct. How does this work? - The Wahoo KICKR V5 continuously monitors performance and detects coasting. When the KICKR coasts, it’s able to measure the drag in the system which allows it to recalibrate.

Do I still need to do a regular spin down? - No, A regular spin down is no longer needed because the automatic calibration is always on.
What is the power accuracy of the new KICKR V5? - The new KICKR achieves a better power accuracy of 1% because of the addition of the new automatic calibration feature.

AXIS Feet: The outer feet are customizable and are very easy to customize. With the 3 different size caps for the outrigger feet, you simply unthread the feet from the KICKR, remove the lock ring, remove the bolt and previously installed cap and then replace it with the different cap of your choice (Stiff caps, middle caps (installed by default), easy caps). Plus, they allow for 1 up to 5 degrees of side-to-side movement and are fully compatible with the CLIMB (sold separately) system. And, they still provide the same side-to-side motion with or without the CLIMB connected to your bike.

Disclaimer: Because of the wide variety of bicycle makes and models, it is not possible for Wahoo to guarantee the KICKR’s compatibility with all bicycles matching these parameters. To fully ensure compatibility, Wahoo recommends visiting a local Wahoo retailer to test your bicycle’s fit before purchasing. Please take note of the “Known Incompatible Bikes” listed below. While Wahoo has conducted tests on KICKR safety and compatibility with certain bikes, the KICKR end user is ultimately responsible for ensuring that their bike frame is compatible with the KICKR trainers such that damage to the bike frame does not result from using the KICKR trainer.

Wahoo Fitness strongly discourages altering trainers to fit bikes deviating from the following specifications including (but not limited to) grinding-down components, adding washers, or improperly reversing spacers as these may void your warranty and increase inherent risk.
