Wahoo and Zwift's relationship appears to have entered a new era, with an exciting new chapter for the indoor training space. Zwift’s innovative Cog and Click tech has now been integrated with the Wahoo Kickr Core, making the indoor smart trainer compatible with drivetrains ranging from eight to 12 speeds - all without the hassle of having to swap cassettes.

For a bit a recap of the origins of the story, back in 2022 Wahoo levelled a patent infringement at Zwift, alleging that the Zwift Hub indoor trainer was too similar in design to Wahoo’s Kickr Core indoor trainer. That lawsuit was settled amicably in September of 2023, with both parties agreeing that collaboration was preferable to confrontation.
