Wahoo KICKR Thru Axle Adapter Kit

Wahoo KICKR Thru Axle Adapter Kit

If you own a thru-axle bike and want to use it on your Wahoo KICKR, the Wahoo KICKR Thru Axle Adapter Kit is the solution you need. This adapter kit allows bikes with 12x142mm or 12x148mm thru-axle standards to be securely and precisely mounted on your KICKR home trainer. It's the ideal upgrade for riders who want flexibility between outdoor and indoor training.

Designed for perfect compatibility

The adapter kit was developed by Wahoo to ensure full compatibility between KICKR trainers and modern bikes with thru-axles. It comes with all the necessary components for installation – including adapters for both 142mm and 148mm axle formats, as well as the necessary end caps and lock nuts. The result is a stable and secure connection that allows you to train with your favorite bike, regardless of axle type.

What does the adapter kit contain?

Wahoo KICKR Thru Axle Adapter Kit contains:

• Adapters for 12x142 mm and 12x148 mm thru-axle standards

• Drive side cover (spin cap)

• Lock nuts for both Shimano and SRAM XD/XDR freewheel systems

• Mounting parts for precise fit

Everything is included in one complete kit, so you can easily adapt your home trainer to different bikes without having to invest in additional components.

Compatible with multiple KICKR models

This adapter kit is compatible with newer versions of the Wahoo KICKR series, including the KICKR CORE, KICKR MOVE, and KICKR (version 4 and up). This allows bikes with gravel, MTB, or road geometry to be used - all with thru-axle designs. For riders with older KICKR models, it is recommended to check compatibility as older versions may require alternative solutions.

Stability and safety during training

The Wahoo KICKR Thru Axle Adapter Kit provides a solid and secure mount that keeps your bike stable during even the toughest workouts. The precise fit ensures that your bike remains centrally positioned on the trainer, minimizing the risk of movement or uneven loading. This provides a realistic and reliable training experience – just like on the road.

Easy installation

Installing the adapter kit is simple and can be done in a few minutes:

1. Remove the existing end caps from your KICKR trainer.

2. Choose the correct adapter (142mm or 148mm) depending on your bike's axle standard.

3. Install the drive side cover and locknut that matches your cassette.

4. Attach the bike's axle through the system and tighten it as normal.

Once the adapter is installed correctly, you can easily switch between different bikes with different axle types without any further adjustments.
