Indoor cycling is extremely sweaty, so fans are essential. Wahoo has now moulded this into a new format. The Headwind fan stands on the floor and throws its airflow in a focussed manner towards the rider. The fan can be controlled manually or continuously via sensors. ANT+ sensors for heart rate or speed can be connected and configured via the Wahoo Fitness app. We measured a maximum wind speed of 50 km/h at the fan outlet, and the wind hits the rider at a maximum of 15 kilometres per hour. The background noise is whisper-quiet at low speeds (28 dBA) and quieter than a trainer at full throttle (48 dBA). The cooling effect is impressive.
A suitable addition to the Kickr Headwind indoor fan from Wahoo is the Kickr Climb simulator.
