The Wahoo KICKR HEADWIND is the first smart fan designed with the cyclist in mind. Its targeted airflow pattern mirrors the shape and position of a cyclist's body while riding, tuneling air right where you need it most for a genuinely outdoor-worthy cooling feel. The HEADWIND is sensor controlled, so as your speed or heart rate increases, fan speed automatically ramps up with it, or you can choose from four manual speed settings to set your own ideal airflow. With speeds of over 30 mph (48 kph), the KICKR HEADWIND keeps you cool through the toughest training sessions.

Our thoughts:
The HEADWIND genuinely changes the indoor training experience for the better — the targeted airflow pattern keeps you noticeably cooler than a standard box fan, and the sensor-based speed control means you don't have to think about it once it's paired. The new Adaptive Cooling Mode is a smart addition, automatically balancing fan speed against both your power output and heart rate. If you do any structured training indoors, this is one of the most worthwhile accessories you can add to your setup.
