Power Requirements
KICKR ROLLR may be used with or without being connected to a power source like a wall outlet, allowing easy mobile training for race warmups and other portable uses.
Supercharge your warmup by connecting to a power source for increased resistance, a power meter (like Wahoo SPEEDPLAY POWER Pedals) for dynamic training in SIM and ERG modes, and your favorite app (like Wahoo SYSTM) for the complete training experience to keep you at peak performance!

KICKR ROLLR comes folded and in two parts to minimize transportation and storage size. Warning: Always check stability before riding and always ride on a level surface.
- Set up KICKR ROLLR base. Connect the middle leg and front base together.
- Install two (2) small Allen bolts on top, flip over and install two (2) small Allen bolts on bottom.
- Set up tire gripper A-frame. Attach support arts to the tire gripper assembly. Ensure both support arms are fully inserted.
- Install one (1) small Allen bolt on the outer side of each support arm.
-
Attach the tire gripper A-frame to the base. Slide the upper A-frame assembly onto the base from above. Hold the upper A-frame in place, fasten two (2) large Allen bolts on both sides of the front base from the outside.
- Attach base to rear ROLLR body. Slide the rear ROLLR body arm into the base using the leg.
- Tighten the screws on both sides of the adjustment lever to secure the connection.
- Install your bike by placing the front wheel in the front wheel block and the rear wheel on the rollers.
- Adjust the wheelbase:
- Lift adjustment lever.
- Slide rear body until the rear tire contacts both rollers evenly.
- Close lever back into place.
- Adjust the gray Tire Gripper by rotating the adjustment knob to your desired tightness - a looser fit allows more lateral play while riding, while a tighter fit provides greater stability.
-
For maximum resistance or resistance adjustments, use the included AC power adapter* to connect KICKR ROLLR to a standard wall outlet.
Caution: use of unofficial power adapters may cause permanent damage to KICKR ROLLR
