Enhance your indoor cycling setup with the Cycplus BC2 virtual shifter, designed specifically for T2 and T3 smart trainers. This device offers precise gear shifting control to optimize your virtual riding and training sessions, delivering a seamless and responsive experience for cyclists. The Cycplus BC2 Virtual Shifter for T2/T3 is a wireless Bluetooth 5.0 controller that allows you to conveniently shift virtual gears while training on Cycplus T2 and T3 bike trainers. Its compact design does not affect riding comfort, and installation using the included silicone straps allows you to position the device in the most convenient spot on the handlebars. The built-in battery provides up to 350 hours of operation; charging is done via a USB-C port, and the IP65-rated housing protects the device from dust and splashes. The shifter works with the CYCPLUS app, allowing for precise resistance adjustment via virtual gear shifting and providing a more realistic feel during trainer workouts.
Advantages
The Cycplus BC2 lets you control the trainer’s resistance in a way that mimics shifting gears on a traditional bike. Simply press the control buttons to increase or decrease resistance without having to mechanically shift the drivetrain. This allows you to keep the chain in a consistent position, which reduces drivetrain wear and ensures quieter and smoother operation during your workout.
The shifter lets you adjust the resistance curve to match your riding style by choosing from three operating modes in the companion app. The total resistance adjustment range allows you to tailor the trainer’s performance to both relaxed endurance workouts and intense interval sessions.
Weighing only 7 grams, the device is practically imperceptible while riding. The kit includes silicone straps, allowing for installation in several locations on the handlebars to suit your preferences. The built-in battery provides long operating times, and the universal USB-C connector makes it easy to use popular chargers.
The housing effectively protects the electronics from dust, sweat, and splashes generated during intense workouts. The button lifespan exceeds 100,000 presses, ensuring long-lasting and reliable use during everyday training sessions.
