- Wahoo rolls its popular Kickr run out to more territories
- It is launched in the UK, some European countries and UAE this summer
- It includes an Innovative Runfree mode that adjusts the speed of your step
One of the most exciting treadmills in recent years, the Wahoo Kickr race, is expanding to several countries with a launch in the UK, Austria, Germany and UAE sets for this summer.
Wahoo is usually a brand associated with the best heartbeat screens on the market, but the Kickr race is a real main tourer and put features to compete with the best treadmills on the market.
In the heart is an innovative feature Wahoo Calls Runfree Mode. A time-off-flight sensor (the same technique you find in the cameras on the best iPhones) can measure your step and pace and adjust the belt speed in real time to simulate the freedom to run outdoors.
The treadmill can also automatically adjust speed and slope to match training or environments, and it works with the Wahoo app, Zwift Run and more.
The Kickr race now also has a new route simulation feature that allows you to train in the real world indoors, including events and your own previous races.
Wahoos Kickr -Run: The Details
In order to replicate outdoor races, the Kickr race has a lateral tilt functionality that simulates side to side movement of outdoor running, and there is support for pace up to a 4-minute mile.
Other great features include an integrated shelf for a laptop or tablet, USB-C charging and even Ethernet connection.
Wahoo says the Kickr race will be launched in the UK on July 15. It will be available in Austria/Germany on August 18, followed by a 26th August launch in UAE.
However, pricing has not been confirmed, the US model retails for $ 4,999 – just over £ 3,700.
Wahoo says the treadmill will have its first British showcase ever at the London Marathon Expo from 23-26. April, so it’s the place to be if you want to try before buying.
