Buy the Elite

- Niels, 27 August, 2025

If you bike a lot indoors, a good fan is a necessity. After a year of messing around with fans we had at home, we bought this one. Airflow is powerful and fine. It does stop there: it is extremely loud (hum) when it barely blows and has a cheap black plastic look and an adapter for the plug to connect it. Returned and bought Elite Aria - it does what you expect, is much quieter and better built.

Pros & Cons

Perfect airflow
Wahoo
Cheaply built
Plug
Sound

Good fan, but with UK plug

- Roy, 24 March, 2025

Blows nice and hard and is compact, making it great to use under my desk. I'm just surprised it came with a UK plug.

Fantastic. I should have done it much earlier.

- Gerke, 15 March, 2025

Fantastic. The heat no longer rises to your head. And no more soggy towels. A lot more comfort while working out. Regret not having done this sooner.

Pros & Cons

Easy to operate also manually.
No more soggy towels.
Reacts well to wahoo heart rate belt
Doesn't seem to pick up every heart rate strap well.

Connection is child's play

Very happy with it, makes Zwiften much more enjoyable!

- Vincent, 12 October, 2024

Previously pile of wet towels after 1 or 2 hours of Zwiften. Now just dabbing occasionally. World of difference. Delivers some extra Watts too.

Pros & Cons

Controllable via app, HR and speed
Very strong airflow
HR control seems to work only with Wahoo HRM
Pricey

Worth the extra price if you do a lot of indoor cycling.

- Peter, 7 October, 2023

Thought the heart rate/fan speed link was more of a niche play thingy, but this is really that good!

Pros & Cons

Link heart rate/fan feed
Powerful

Does an excellent job, great for Zwifting!

- Sarah, 23 December, 2022

It's not exactly beautiful or cheap, but it's exactly what you need when you're cycling hard. Much better than an average fan!

Pros & Cons

Easy to move
Nice that it links to the kickr
Really good airflow
Quite pricey

Not good at all.

- Pablo, 14 February, 2022

It's super loud even at lower speeds. I'm super disappointed with it. with it's price tag I expected much more quality. I do not recommend it at all. a simple fan will do the job. again it's super loud and that makes it unacceptable.

Pros & Cons

Cheap built
Expensive for what it is
NOISE
Plug
Super loud even at low speed

5 / 5

Should have bought it right away.

Top product

- Marcel, 1 December, 2020

I've had the Wahoo kickr headwind since just under a week. Rode a long ride with it yesterday for the first time. Before, I could wring out my clothes after I finished my ride cycling on my tacx flux 2. But now it was a bit clammy at most. Really added value to tacx in the attic. Again, delivered super neatly and quickly by Mantel.

Pros & Cons

Easy to install
Multiple pairing options
Not only pairing on Wahoo device
Not cheap

Works excellently

- David, 20 October, 2020

Like many, I didn't see the point of buying a "fan". But the Wahoo Headwind really is a must-have if you want to do a lot of indoor cycling. The regular fan I used until utility was noisy and not very efficient. The Wahoo Headwind moves much more air, is quieter, and cools your body in function of your heart rate or speed. You overheat less quickly, perspire much less, so indoor training is a lot more pleasant.

Pros & Cons

Compact
Cools the entire body
More pleasant swishing
Relatively quiet
Just a bit too expensive for an impulse buy

Great Fan totally improves the indoor cycling experience

- Daniela, 4 August, 2020

I was doubtful at first about this fan which I purchased for my husbands Birthday as it is on the pricey side. But once he (and me) used it the price is justified. Great piece of kit that He wouldn’t want to miss now.

Pros & Cons

Great cooling
Quick set up
Comes with European plug

4 / 5

Good fan does the job!

- Jennifer, 21 June, 2020

Use the headwind to keep cool while on my turbo trainer in the conservatory, does well keeping me cool when temperatures can hit 45C. Fan quiet & effective! Only down side was has a European plug, so had to order adapter. Would by again.......

Pros & Cons

Cools from head to toe
Quiet
European plug
