- Per the BikeRumor article I linked in the dedicated topic, the last line has a bit of hope:
Wahoo has also added a new ‘KICKR Race Mode’ to its indoor trainers. This mode broadcasts power up to 10 times faster than standard trainers, giving riders an advantage at critical race stages. Race Mode is available on the new KICKR Smart Trainers with built-in WiFi and will be available on previous versions of the KICKR with the use of the KICKR Direct Connect WiFi adapter.
- I do think they have a minor error with the 2nd mention of “WiFi”, but it seems Race Mode should be coming to the V5 Kickr since it offers the DirCon cable option.
NOTE: KICKR Direct Connect is ONLY compatible with KICKR v5, KICKR V6, KICKR ROLLR and KICKR BIKE V2. It is NOT compatible with previous KICKR editions, KICKR CORE, KICKR SNAP, and KICKR BIKE V1.
