The ever-popular indoor cycling tech brand Wahoo has today unveiled a duo of new products.
They come in the form of the Kickr Move turbo trainer and the Kickr Bike Shift smart bike, each with an opposing approach.
The Kickr Move will slot in right at the top of Wahoo’s Kickr smart turbo trainer range, above the Kickr V6, and comes complete with new motion capability that aims to create a more natural ride feel and improve user comfort. It will be priced at $1,599.99 USD / £1,399.99 / €1,599.99.
The Kickr Bike Shift is positioned beneath the Wahoo Kickr Bike V2 which launched last year. It simplifies some of the functionality, removes the tilt function that mimics the Kickr Climb entirely, and will be priced at $2,999.99 USD / £2,699.99 / €2,999.99.
Both will be available to buy immediately at Wahoo Fitness.

The biggest talking point about the Kickr Move is the eight-inch ‘gravity track’ onto which the main turbo trainer hardware is mounted. This is essentially a curved track that is a very shallow U shape, and inside is a set of wheels that hold the upper portion of the trainer, letting it slide back and forth.
The shape of the track also enables a small amount of side to side movement, which complements the five degrees of movement already provided by the Kickr Axis feet that first showed up on the Kickr V5. Wahoo says this allows your bike to travel freely when working out, reduces fatigue and improves overall efficiency.
The sliding track is also lockable via a large rocker switch situated on the middle of the trainer’s three legs. This is said to make it easier to transport and when mounting your bike in the first place.
To pair the new trainer with a Kickr Climb, you’ll need an additional hardware adaptor that will allow the Climb to mimic the same forward and backward motion. This will be priced at $49.99 USD. It won’t be provided with either the Move nor the Climb, but a Wahoo spokesperson tells Cyclingnews that bundle deals will be made available to offset the additional cost for anyone who has previously bought a Climb.
Beyond the rolling track, the remaining specs are largely unchanged from the Kickr V6 launched in 2022. This means it will benefit from the same Bluetooth, ANT+ and WiFi connectivity, as well as the direct wired connection available from the Kickr Direct Connect accessory.
