WHAT YOU CAN DO ▶ Virtual gear shifting - in apps that support it natively, and in apps that do not ▶ Steering and turning ▶ Adjust workout intensity ▶ Control music on your device ▶ Tune everything around shifting: gear count, ratios, gearing ▶ More? If you can do it by keyboard, mouse or touch, you can do it with BikeControl WORKS WITH Officially supported, built in natively: MyWhoosh, Rouvy, TrainingPeaks Virtual, Strappo Also supported: Zwift, Biketerra, FulGaz and any other app you can drive by keyboard or touch BikeControl applies the gear change at the trainer and sends the resulting resistance to the app, so virtual shifting works even in apps that have no virtual shifting of their own.
