Why Choose KICKR CORE 2 with Zwift Cog and Click

This is the smart choice for Zwift enthusiasts. The Zwift Cog's universal 8-13 speed compatibility means you're not locked into a single bike setup—bring any bike to your trainer. The Zwift Click puts complete control in your hands: shift gears smoothly, navigate Zwift worlds, steer through virtual roads, and give Ride Ons to other cyclists—all from your handlebar.

The same trusted CORE 2 trainer foundation delivers reliable performance, Race Mode responsiveness, and integrated WiFi connectivity. You get professional-grade indoor cycling at entry-level pricing, with the bonus of virtual shifting and full Zwift integration.

For households with multiple bikes, this is revolutionary. No more swapping cassettes. Just ride.

Virtual Shifting – The Game Changer

Traditional smart trainers require mechanical cassettes specific to each bike. Zwift Cog changes everything:

Traditional Approach:

• Separate cassette for each bike
• Time-consuming setup and swapping
• Limited to bikes with compatible freehubs
• Mechanical shifting still feels mechanical

Zwift Cog Approach:

• One virtual shifter works with almost any bike
• No cassette swapping required
• 8-13 speed compatibility (nearly universal)
• Smooth, quiet virtual shifting
• Full Zwift integration and control

Zwift Click – Control Your Ride

Gone are the days of reaching for your phone or computer to shift gears. Zwift Click mounts on your handlebar for instant access:

• Shift Gears: Tap up/down for smooth virtual gear changes
• Navigate: Browse Zwift menus and select routes
• Interact: Give Ride Ons to friends and other cyclists
• Steer: Control direction in Zwift worlds
• Simplify: Keep your hands on the bars throughout

The CR2032 battery lasts for extended training blocks, and Bluetooth connectivity is reliable throughout your workout.

Getting Started

1. Assembly (15-20 minutes):
Unbox and follow the color-coded leg assembly. The guided setup in the Wahoo App walks you through installation step-by-step.

2. Mount Zwift Click:
Install Zwift Click on your handlebar (works on any handlebar diameter).

3. Connect:
Plug in the AC adapter and pair both the trainer and Zwift Click to the Wahoo App via WiFi and Bluetooth.

Race Mode – The Competitive Advantage

Traditional smart trainers update power data once per second, averaging wattage across the entire rotation. In Zwift racing, this misses critical power spikes during attacks and sprints.

Race Mode changes this entirely. The 10 Hz update rate captures power with every flywheel revolution. The result:

• Faster Responsiveness: Immediate feedback to power changes
• Accurate Drafting: Know exactly when the virtual pace changes
• Competitive Timing: Land attacks and sprints with precision
• Pro-Level Feel: Experience racing like the pros

Available exclusively with WiFi connection, Race Mode brings premium-trainer responsiveness to an entry-level price point—essential for serious Zwift racers.
