Bkool Connect Sport and Zwift

[rivers]

Does anyone know if a Bkool Connect Sport will work with Zwift? I already have a power meter and a classic (not smart) trainer, but am looking for something that will adjust the gradient as well. Thanks

Generally any 'Smart' trainer will work on Zwift.

I used the Bkool Classic 2 (white with ridged roller) on Zwift very succesfully, any Bkool trainer after this will work. I think the original Bkool trainer (white with black smooth roller iirc) works as well.

Both of these trainers are 6+ year old tech. You may be better getting a more modern trainer dependent on your budget

The first iteration of the Pro (black casing with metal roller) can not be firmware upgraded to 3.10, which is a requirement to run/activate ANT+FE-C, due to a fault on the circuit board. Zwift only works with BKOOL trainers using ANT+FE-C.
They were produced until sometime around August/September 2014, and has firmware 3.02/3.04 from the factory.

So, even if the white "classics" were an older model, the circuit boards in those allows for updates and makes them ANT+FE-C/Zwift compatible. I believe firmware 2.04 was the last released for the classics.
