Just like you, pro cyclists have to contend with bad weather, poor riding conditions, or schedule challenges. That makes indoor riding a must-have training option. Pete Stetina, a former WorldTour pro and current professional gravel privateer, credits indoor training for helping him stay fit for racing year-round. And he says Wahoo鈥檚 innovative gear and workout tools are key to his program.聽聽
As one of the most successful gravel riders in the world and a mainstay on the podium of the Life Time Grand Prix, Stetina knows better than most the importance of training. And despite living in California, he has plenty of times when outdoor riding is off the table.
鈥淚 find myself opting for Wahoo indoor riding during winter鈥檚 foul weather and when I鈥檓 time-crunched with family obligations, or even during California鈥檚 wildfire smoke days,鈥 Stetina says. 鈥淚鈥檝e been using the KICKR family of products to prepare for the race season. The MOVE gives the most real-world feel I鈥檝e experienced yet from an indoor trainer, which is important. The fore-aft motion and the way you stand up out of the saddle and shift weight are different from a locked-in trainer. Additionally, the SYSTM workouts are the best quality-over-quantity workouts I鈥檝e ever done.鈥
Wahoo SYSTM is an all-inclusive training app that includes hundreds of interval-based cycling workouts, plus strength training, yoga, and mental training to help improve your overall fitness.聽聽
鈥淚t鈥檚 important to hit different muscular and aerobic systems instead of just riding steady all base season,鈥 says Stetina. 鈥淭he SYSTM workouts are great for this. They can be intimidating at first glance, and I think, 鈥楬oly cow, I can鈥檛 complete this!鈥 But if you have your fitness values plugged in correctly, they鈥檙e built to be achievable.鈥

Stetina is not alone. Pros, elite amateurs, casual riders, and even beginners can all benefit from Wahoo鈥檚 indoor training ecosystem of cycling trainers, bikes, and accessories, such as bike computers, sport watches, heart rate monitors, and pedals.聽
Wahoo currently offers a complete indoor training lineup at a wide range of price points, from the KICKR CORE (plus a one-year Zwift membership) at $699.99 to the KICKR BIKE (plus a one-year Zwift membership) at $3,999.99.聽
The newest additions to the Wahoo family are the and , which show how far ahead of the pack Wahoo is when it comes to creating the ultimate indoor training experience. The KICKR BIKE SHIFT is an indoor smart bike that offers a smooth and virtually silent riding experience, customizable fit, programmable shifting, and gearing.聽
The KICKR MOVE is Wahoo鈥檚 most impressive innovation yet. It鈥檚 a direct-drive smart trainer with 8 inches (20 centimeters) of fore-aft motion that allows for a more natural movement and realistic riding experience. The MOVE base also allows for side-to-side movement, plus it comes with adjustable AXIS feet, autocalibration, and virtually silent operation.聽
Ian Boswell, a former pro turned busy dad, has a personal understanding of the training challenges everyday riders face, as well as a personal stake in solving them as part of the Wahoo Sports Science team. Boswell helped create the KICKR MOVE with the goal of reducing saddle fatigue on the indoor trainer, especially during long rides. The MOVE鈥檚 subtle movements allow the rider to make small microadjustments while pedaling, just like they would while riding outside. Additionally, the MOVE鈥檚 movement track is slightly curved, which makes the fore-aft movement while riding feel realistic鈥攁gain, just like riding outside.
鈥淎s a new father and resident of northern Vermont, my Wahoo KICKR MOVE is key to staying fit during the long and cold winter,鈥 says Boswell. 鈥淩iding indoors is so efficient and convenient that I never emerge from hibernation too far off from the fitness I need to be ready for the racing season.鈥

Weather and time management aren鈥檛 the only reasons to ride indoors. Heather Jackson, a professional athlete, triathlete, and gravel racer, uses Wahoo year-round, even when the weather outside isn鈥檛 an obstacle. Jackson says that the uninterrupted nature of an indoor trainer workout can be better for improving her fitness than riding outside.聽
In April 2023, Jackson won the Belgian Waffle Ride in San Diego and finished ten minutes ahead of second place and 22 minutes ahead of third. To achieve this kind of racing condition only one month into the 2023 season, Jackson had to put in the work on her KICKR MOVE over the winter.聽
鈥淚 not only use my KICKR MOVE the entire winter to prepare for the season ahead, but I use it throughout the entire year for any and all quality workouts that I have. I truly believe you can鈥檛 beat the quality of a workout that the KICKR MOVE provides鈥攏o stop signs, no flat tires, no traffic鈥攁bsolutely nothing to interrupt, just putting your head down and doing exactly what your training is on the day.鈥
Bottom line: whether you鈥檙e just starting in cycling or you鈥檙e a seasoned professional, Wahoo has the indoor training gear you need to improve your fitness and reach your goals.聽
