KICKR CORE 2 without Zwift
The KICKR CORE 2 with Zwift Cog and Click is built around Zwift's virtual shifting. If you cancel Zwift, you don't have to give that up: PedalCraft talks to the trainer and the Click directly, in your browser.
What still works without Zwift
- Virtual shifting with the Zwift Click, done by the trainer firmware
- Live power, cadence, speed and your power zones
- Grade changes with the arrow keys
- Heart rate from a strap or a watch that broadcasts heart rate
Start in two minutes
- Quit Zwift on all devices.
- Open pedalcraft.online/ride in Chrome or Edge.
- Connect the trainer, then the Click.
- Pedal and shift.
Want structured training?

FAQ
Can I use the KICKR CORE 2 virtual shifting without Zwift?
Yes. PedalCraft sends the gear to the trainer the same way Zwift does, so the trainer firmware shifts.
Do I need the Wahoo app?
No. PedalCraft connects to the trainer directly over Bluetooth.
Will my rides be saved?
Not in the free browser version. The Mac app saves every ride and can upload it to Strava.
