There is a free version of the Bkool simulator, but it is very basic compared to the premium offering.

You canвЂ™t currently link the Bkool Smart Bike to rival simulator Zwift, for example, even though all the tech seems to be in place for the bike to work with the rival platform. You get three free months of premium access the Bkool simulator when you buy the Smart Bike, which is a bit of a swizz in my opinion, especially considering how reliant the bike is on the simulator. Controlling the resistance on the bike can only be done through the simulator or the phone app, so you will need to connect something, but fortunately this is easily done and I didnвЂ™t have any dropouts when using the bike. The bike has a phone mount on the handlebars, which expands to handle phablets easily. Once the bike is set up you pair it with your laptop (or any internet-connected screen) via an ANT dongle and to your phone via the partner Bkool Remote app. ItвЂ™s an incredibly varied offering and the Bkool Smart BikeвЂ™s ability to link seamlessly with the simulator is its star feature, although the reliance on the simulator is also, in some senses, a limitation. There are workout classes, videos and 3D renderings of routes from all over the world, and even velodrome sessions.

The simulator is an online platform chock full of different ways to entertain yourself while cycling on a linked Bkool bike.

With the Bkool Smart Bike, boredom need never be a concern again because of how fluidly it links with the Bkool simulator. When setting up an indoor cycling session itвЂ™s absolute vital to have some kind of entertainment available, because nothing saps motivation quicker than the uninspiring, unchanging sight of a wall.
