Wahoo Fitness has won the Gold Award for Best Cycling Accessory for the KICKR Power Trainer at Eurobike 2014.

Wahoo Fitness' KICKR Power Trainer was named the Best Cycling Accessory at Eurobike 2014. The company was presented with the Gold Award for the trainer, which had impressed the jury with its interface, allowing users to control the resistance from their smartphones, and absence of the rear wheel, which allows direct, accurate power measurement. The awards presented at Eurobike are among the top honours that a company in the bicycle industry can get for its solutions.

The KICKR is the first bicycle trainer controlled by a smartphone or PC using Bluetooth Smart or ANT + technology. Users can take off the back wheel of their bike and connect to the KICKR to get accurate power measurement, a number of software options, resistance control, and a quality indoor riding experience.

The trainer delivers a hyperrealistic feel of the road, with a flywheel designed to replicate the inertia of a ride on a real road. The KICKR also lets users control the resistance using their favourite app on their iPhone, iPad, or MacBook. The trainer uses Bluetooth Smart or ANT + for wireless control and data transfer.

Using the Wahoo Fitness App, indoor riders get 10 resistance levels, each with a progressive resistance curve, which provides them with a realistic experience of an outdoor ride. The faster they pedal, the more difficult it gets. The KICKR allows users to set target wattage and will then stay at that wattage independently of the rider's speed and cadence. The Sim mode lets riders enter their bike type, riding position, weight, grade, and headwind, and the KICKR trainer then uses the data to accurately simulate the power curve. Riders also have the option to set the resistance of the brake manually.

The KICKR is best combined with the Wahoo Fitness App for the iPhone and Android, but also works very well with a number of other software options, including popular training software like TrainerRoad and Kinomap. The KICKR Power Trainer is compatible with road bikes and mountain bikes with a wheel size 24'' to 29'' and can be used with the iPhone 5 and 4S, iPad Mini, and iPad (3rd and 4th generation).
