Video: Wahoo Kickr Climb demo with CEO Chip Hawkins

We've told you about it, now we've got to use it... Wahoo Fitness CEO Chip Hawkins talks us through the new Kickr Climb, live from Eurobike

The Kickr Climb has certainly captured the imagination of visitors to this year's Eurobike show, and we were lucky enough to get a quick demo with the CEO of Wahoo Fitness, Chip Hawkins. 

Wahoo's new Kickr Climb simulates hills for indoor training

From this brief demo I was impressed with how realistic it felt, if not a bit too realistic when the gradient kicked up to 20% and Chip left me hangin' for longer than I'd have liked! 

The Kickr Cimb will retail at £449.99 and is available from this Autumn. 

 

 

Arriving at road.cc in 2017 via 220 Triathlon Magazine, Jack dipped his toe in most jobs on the site and over at eBikeTips before being named the new editor of road.cc in 2020, much to his surprise. His cycling life began during his students days, when he cobbled together a few hundred quid off the back of a hard winter selling hats (long story) and bought his first road bike - a Trek 1.1 that was quickly relegated to winter steed, before it was sadly pinched a few years later. Creatively replacing it with a Trek 1.2, Jack mostly rides this bike around local cycle paths nowadays, but when he wants to get the racer out and be competitive his preferred events are time trials, sportives, triathlons and pogo sticking - the latter being another long story.

Is this really the first time that this has been done? It's so obvious. Hmm, next iteration will wobble from side to side when you honk?
