CycleOps – Connect to the Bkool cycle simulator!
There are many updates and bug fixes from the latest version of the Bkool cycling simulator. One of the most important updates was the connection for CycleOps bike trainer. Should you have a CycleOps trainer, you can now connect and ride inside the Bkool simulator.
This was an important step forwards for Bkool making the the simulator more versatile, accessible and more independent. This is having a knock-on effect, and many users that have a bike trainer that’s not Bkool are searching for a more entertaining and complete training experience. Don’t forget that the Bkool simulator is the only simulator that can reproduce any route in the world, with real-time weather (including hour of the day), spectacular velodrome games, cyclist clothes editor and a power analytics platform giving the user all the information they want after training.

Why does the PowerBeam pro not connect to the simulator? Any help?
Hey Michael, all the trainers that are able to connect to the simulator are available on our website. Thanks!
Just tried my CycleOps PowerBeam Pro and will see power but not as a virtual trainer. Can not choose my trainer in the compatable and hear on the web site it says it’s compatable. Wook like to try the 30 day free trial. Virtual works in TraineRoads and CycleOps virtual? What to do
Hey Jean, we’ve updated the list of compatible trainers. Please check again and if not, please contact support info@bkool.com and they can report this to the developers. Thanks!
Was hoping to be able to use this with my Powerbeam Pro as well. Sadly doesn’t seam to work as the website makes you believe. Only shows up as a power meter like Jean-Marc stated. Back to Zwift 🙁
Dear Luke,
Dear Jean-Marc,
I am still confronted with this issue. As Jean-Marc describes it, the PowerBeam Pro is only seen by the software as powermeter source but not as controllable trainer. It´s exact the trainer which is listed as controllable. How can we manage and solve this serious issue?
Best regards
Michael
Yes I too would like to try the 30 day free trial to Bkool but cannot connect with my power beam pro. Any help would be appreciated.
You should contact support (info@bkool.com). Maybe they have a solution for you 🙂
