2.2 - BKOOL SIMULATOR
Our simulator is the most complete on the market. You can ride your own routes or any of the
500,000+ routes offered by Bkool. You can also ride with friends, wherever they may be. The
routes can be in 2D, 3D, real video or on a map. You'll see a constantly updated route map and
readings for distance, time, power, speed and gradient.
Create and take part in teams, leagues and rankings. Compete against real or virtual cyclists. You
set the limits. Keep in mind that many of these features are free, but others might require a
Premium subscription, available at bkool.com.

2.3 - PAIRING DEVICES WITH THE SIMULATOR
(ANT+ or Bluetooth antenna required, not included)
For the best user experience, the simulator has to be synchronized (paired) with your devices. The
simulator needs to know your speed, cadence and heart rate.
Important: In order to pair devices, they must be near the computer or tablet. You also have to
activate them (be wearing the chest strap or turning the pedals to activate the cadence or speed
sensor) so they're shown on the screen.
Devices can be paired manually or automatically.
● Automatic pairing. The simulator is paired automatically with nearby devices. You will
see at the bottom right if the devices are paired: a green icon indicates they're connected.
● Manual pairing. You can also pair the devices manually. To do so, go to the "Settings"
section in the simulator (top right) and turn off automatic pairing. The manual pairing will be shown.
The trainer can be used by several people. However, when they log into the simulator, each
one must enter their own email and password.
2.4 BKOOL AND MOUNTAIN BIKES
While using a MTB is perfectly OK, we recommend replacing the knobby tires with smooth ones.
This will cut down on the noise.
