Unlike level mode, the brake strength or resistance you feel will be fixed regardless of your speed. You can set the break strength from 1% to 100%. RESISTANCE MODE: Level mode and resistance mode can get confusing. Think of resistance as the brake setting. Generally I find level 1 or 2 to be the closest thing to riding on a flat road and sufficient for most workouts if you use gearing to adjust resistance. In level mode, you have 10 levels (0 to 9). Similar to riding outside, the faster you go, the more resistance you will feel from the wind. LEVEL MODE: In this mode, your smart trainer will simulate the standard resistance curve. Meaning, the harder you go the more resistance you will feel. In passive mode, the ELEMNT will not attempt to control your trainer and will only record data from your ride. PASSIVE MODE: Passive Mode allows you to use your smart trainer with another app like Zwift for example but also record the ride using your ELEMNT.
Once you start moving, you will see the following screen with all the different modes available for you.

Pair your Wahoo KICKR to third-party app in Bluetooth first.So you need to force the ELEMNT to pair in ANT+. However, this can raise an issue if you plan on using the KICKR with a third-party app via Bluetooth like Zwift on a mobile device for example. If you are using a Wahoo KICKR, the ELEMNT will use Bluetooth to connect to the KICKR by default. Switch the ride type from outdoor to indoor in the main menu under ride type.Once it finds your trainer, it will prompt you to save it.You can also add it directly from your bike computer. Just tap the power button on the side of the ELEMNT, and browse down to Add Sensor. Tap on sensors and look for your smart trainer.Using the companion app, make sure your Elemnt computer is paired to your smartphone first. In this post, I will be using the Wahoo KICKR as an example but this should work with any other smart trainer that supports ANT+ FE-C protocols. The first you need to do is pair your KICKR or ANT+ FE-C smart trainer to your Wahoo ELEMNT computer. As long as your trainer supports ANT+ FE-C protocols, then the ELEMNT should be able to control it. So by default, it will work with the KICKR but also can work with trainers from Tacx, Elite, Kinetic, CycleOps, Minoura, and more. Wahoo ELEMNT bike computers supports any ANT+ FE-C trainer. In this post or video above, I will walk you through pairing your Wahoo ELEMNT bike computer to your Wahoo KICKR or any ANT+ FE-C bike trainer, and six different ways you can use your WAHOO ELEMNT to control your smart bike trainer. WAHOO ELEMNT bike computers allow for smart bike trainers control.
