Wahoo patent suggests plan for new ‘side-to-side’ tilting exercise bike

September 23, 2025

Indoor riding might be about to get even more realistic, with a new Wahoo patent suggesting ‘side-to-side’ leaning might soon be a feature on an upcoming smart bike from the brand.

The patent, filed earlier this year and published last month, is for an ‘exercise bike with side-to-side motion mechanism’, and appears to be an unreleased product.

The design drawings of the bike closely resemble Wahoo’s Kickr Bike Pro, which was released this month with a new ‘grade simulation’ tool for climbing. This new product, however, has a larger, sturdier base containing a side-to-side tilting mechanism.

It would not be the first indoor bike that leans, but would mark a major innovation for Atlanta-based Wahoo, one of the market’s leading brands, who are yet to incorporate this technology.

A description of the product within the patent filing reads: “A bike trainer includes a rocking base having a bottom surface with an arc shaped rocking surface. A pair of support legs are each connected to a side of the base by a tilt mechanism. A main frame extends upward from the base and supports a seat. A pedal assembly is rotatably mounted to the main frame and drivingly connected to a flywheel assembly.” Cycling Weekly
