Compatibility

The KICKR HEADWIND pairs to the Wahoo Fitness App via Bluetooth® for control from iOS and Android mobile devices, or connects directly to ANT+ enabled heart rate monitors like the Wahoo TRACKR, speed sensors like the Wahoo RPM Speed, temperature sensors, and all Wahoo Smart Trainers or other ANT+ enabled third party trainers. For more details, see the KICKR HEADWIND compatibility page

Setup

  1. Always place the KICKR HEADWIND on a stable surface.
  2. Extend the legs to change the airflow direction. If placed directly on the ground, the rear legs can remain folded to angle air upwards. To position on a counter (or other elevated surface), extend the legs for a breeze that's more head-on.
  1. Plug KICKR HEADWIND into a power source. Do not modify or adapt the KICKR HEADWIND to plug into a different socket type than designed for (please contact support for exceptions).
  2. Press the power button to turn on and activate the fan. For more advanced settings, see Features.
