Frequently Asked Questions
Which apps and devices work with the Wahoo KICKR CORE 2?▼
It connects over WiFi, Bluetooth (up to 3 connections) and ANT+ FE-C, so it works with Zwift, the Wahoo app and other training apps on iPhone or iPad (iOS 16 or newer), Android, Mac and Windows PC. A PC without Bluetooth can connect with an ANT+ dongle.
Should I choose the 11-speed cassette or the Zwift Cog and Click version?▼
The 11-speed cassette version comes with an 11-28 cassette fitted for a classic setup that shifts with your bike. The Zwift Cog and Click version has one cog plus a Zwift Click controller for virtual shifting, and works with almost any 8 to 12-speed bike.
Will the KICKR CORE 2 fit my bike?▼
It takes 130 and 135 mm quick release and 12x142 and 12x148 mm thru axles, with the adapters in the box. Shimano HG works out of the box; SRAM XD/XDR or Campagnolo need a separate freehub body, and Shimano Micro Spline is not compatible.
