I’ve got a bkool trainer that I bought last year and used with bkools simulator. I just got zwift and while the graphics seem great, my smart trainer doesn’t change resistance. anything I can do? Otherwise zwift is pointless. It’s a bkool smart pro 2
Hi @Chad_Steger
Welcome to the Forum.
What device do you use to run Zwift.
Did you pair it as power source and Controllable.
Do you use Bluetooth or ANT+

I’m using a 2019 iMac to run zwift. I’m using Bluetooth to connect zwift app to the bkool trainer
Hi Chad,
Controllable doesn’t currently work for Bkool trainers over Bluetooth. I’ve checked your account and I see that you have an ANT+ dongle, I’d recommend pairing that way since controlled resistance should work through ANT+. I’d also recommend checking out our Bkool pairing article here.
Ride On.

Ok, I’ll see if that works. Thank you
Doesn’t seem to be working. Unless I’m doing something wrong
Can you post a screen shot of your Pairing screen?
Did you pair as ANT+ FE-c

My avatar doesn’t go faster or slower much no matter how hard I pedal. Just my watts change and resistance is the same. I went into bkool and paired with ant and not Bluetooth. Then went into zwift. My guy slows down tremendously when I went up the volcano but resistance, gear, and cadence never changed
To get the resistance to change you need to search for controllable as well.
What options do you get when you search for controllable? If there is a FE-C option then use that one.
we are making progress.

HI Garrie
I have tried to repair it many times but Zwift doesn’t reconice my controllable device
I have Bkool smart pro 2 that I bought since December 2018 and never I couldn’t resolve this issue
Any suggestion
Even after open Bkool and sync the devices Zwift doesn’t reconice the controllable
Welcome to the forum,
What device do you use for Zwift? Do you use Bluetooth or ANT+?
Well currently I am using ANT+
Things to check,
- are your trainer firmware updated? use the Bcool app
- try a different usb port for the ANT+ dongle.
What do you see in the paring screen after checking all these things. See screen shot above.

Download the app bkool toolkits. That app updated my trainer and things worked flawlessly after that.

Hi everyone,
I can connect my Bkool Smart Pro with Zwift on my computer on ANT+FEC,
could you confirm that it’s not possible with an IPad + Dongle ANT+? I’m so surprised that it works on my computer but not on my iOs IPad 
Thanks for your answer!
