Video: Wahoo Kickr Climb demo with CEO Chip Hawkins

We've told you about it, now we've got to use it... Wahoo Fitness CEO Chip Hawkins talks us through the new Kickr Climb, live from Eurobike

The Kickr Climb has certainly captured the imagination of visitors to this year's Eurobike show, and we were lucky enough to get a quick demo with the CEO of Wahoo Fitness, Chip Hawkins. 

Wahoo's new Kickr Climb simulates hills for indoor training

From this brief demo I was impressed with how realistic it felt, if not a bit too realistic when the gradient kicked up to 20% and Chip left me hangin' for longer than I'd have liked! 

The Kickr Cimb will retail at £449.99 and is available from this Autumn.

Jack has been hooked on cycling since his student days, and currently has a Trek 1.2 for winter riding, a beloved Bickerton folding bike for getting around town and an extra beloved custom Ridley Helium SLX for fantasising about going fast in his stable. Jack has never won a bike race, but does have a master's degree in print journalism and two Guinness World Records for pogo sticking (it's a long story).

Is this really the first time that this has been done? It's so obvious. Hmm, next iteration will wobble from side to side when you honk?
