The KICKR ROLLR is designed to easily transfer your bike between the road and a home training studio. Thanks to an adjustable wheelbase and front tire gripper stabilizer arm, Wahooligans can set up almost any bike without removing wheels or installing additional adapters.
Road Bike Compatibility
KICKR ROLLR can be used with the majority of 700C road bikes and road tires without the need for trainer-specific tires.
The ROLLR accommodates bike wheelbases (distance between center of front and rear wheel) from 950mm - 1100mm.
The front safety tire gripper in the stabilizer arm supports tire sizes up to 1.8 inches / 45 mm.

Some larger tires may fit depending on measured height and tire pressure. This has not been tested.
The KICKR ROLLR is fully compatible with trainer tires, but they are not required.
Mountain, Cross, or Gravel Bike Compatibility
You may be able to use a mountain or cross bike with ROLLR, but bumpy/knobby tires increase wear and make for a turbulent ride. The smoother the tire, the better.
Additionally, most modern mountain bikes have a longer wheelbase than is compatible with the KICKR ROLLR (950mm - 1100mm).
Because of the wide variety of bicycle makes and models, it is not possible for Wahoo to guarantee KICKR ROLLR compatibility with all bicycles matching these parameters. To fully ensure compatibility, we recommend visiting a local Wahoo retailer to test your bicycle’s fit before purchasing. Please take note of the “Known Incompatible Bikes” listed below. While Wahoo has conducted tests on KICKR safety and compatibility with certain bikes, the end user is ultimately responsible for ensuring that their bike frame is compatible with the KICKR trainers such that damage to the bike frame does not result from using KICKR trainers.
Wahoo Fitness strongly discourages altering trainers to fit bikes deviating from the following specifications including (but not limited to) grinding-down components, adding washers, or improperly reversing spacers as these may void your warranty and increase inherent risk. Wahoo Fitness is not liable for any damage or injury related to improper installation, modification, or misuse of hardware.
