Cycling simulators such as BKOOL provide the advantage of training at home whenever you like. This is extremely useful, as you used to depend on the weather to continue your training routine. Now, it doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s raining or hailing outside; at home, you can simulate terrains with slopes to continue preparing for a competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there seems to be a widespread belief that Indoor Cycling training is only reserved for road cyclists. This is absolutely false. Simulators can be used to prepare for Gravel or Mountain Bike competitions. In this article, we will show you how simulators like BKOOL can enhance your training sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can different terrains be simulated?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Can a simple simulator replicate the difficulty of traversing various terrains and their variability? The answer is yes. BKOOL can adapt the simulator to your needs, depending on the type of cycling you like or are training for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For mountain terrains, BKOOL uses elevation data to simulate resistance and difficulty experienced when climbing and descending hills. Additionally, it offers a wide variety of mountain routes to choose from based on the desired difficulty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for gravel, the simulator features dirt and gravel road routes that accurately replicate the sensations and difficulties of riding on unstable surfaces. Resistance and speed are adjusted to match the conditions of gravel roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only can rough terrains like mountains or dirt roads be simulated, but also track or velodrome conditions have their space. To simulate track cycling conditions, BKOOL has a selection of velodrome tracks in its library of pre-recorded routes. By selecting one of these tracks, the simulator automatically adjusts resistance and speed to simulate the experience of riding on a velodrome track, allowing you to get the most out of your training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, BKOOL also offers the option to create custom routes. This means that cyclists can create their own virtual velodrome track and modify various parameters to match the conditions of a real track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the benefits of training on simulated different terrains with BKOOL?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the benefits of cycling simulators is their ability to simulate different terrains besides tarmac, allowing cyclists to train in a variety of conditions and terrains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the benefits of training on different terrains in a cycling simulator are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
