Wahoo KICKR STEER adds gamified steering to suite of indoor add-ons , making trainer riding more palatable, with dynamic racing in the future.
Operating the KICKR STEER accessory plate , the rider alternately pushes down slightly on the steering paddles on either side. That moves the on-deck steering controller unit slightly from side to side, movement translated by your smartphone’s accelerometers. You can customize the sensitivity of the steering if you’re slightly nudging the unit or going full-on Mario Cart. The paddles are also moveable to set for differing bar widths and thumb placement specifications for both hoods and drops.
Previously, a rider’s position on the road in RGT was automated. The only way for a rider to move up in the group was by using their power to move around other cyclists. With KICKR Steering in RGT, you can maneuver around other riders while pedaling, adding a new level of strategy and engagement to virtual rides. Just like riding outdoors, you can find the sweet spot in the middle of the pack , push the pace at the front, or cut a sweeping corner to gain position.
The underside of the KICKR STEER unit houses your 3mm, and 4mm wrenches for easy adjustment and location. Not so secretly, I wish Wahoo went full Mario Cart on this and totally gamified the steering system. It would be fun and more immersive if you could slow a chasing rider down with a banana peel or have to be hyper-focused to dodge potential threats or oncoming precarious obstacles!
Using the RGT Remote, I realized that I use my phone much more than I thought during trainer sessions. Given the choice between the two, it’s a hard toss-up of who gets the screen time – responding to incoming messages from the real-world, or in-game steering?
