Shifter configuration on the Wattbike Proton

You can customise your shifter configuration and switch between ‘Dual’ and ‘Standard’ modes. 

• Dual: left shifter is used to change chainring and right shifter changes sprockets, like on a real bike.
• Standard: existing linear shifting functionality where the right shifter moves gears up and down. If preset gears are chosen and linear shifting; the gears will automatically be moved from lowest gear ratio to highest.

All controls can be flipped - so the left hand shifter becomes the right hand and vice versa. In Dual mode, you can also choose what the action buttons do (swipe the views left/right OR switch between erg/gear mode and trigger new lap) 

How to change your shifter set up on Wattbike Hub:

• Launch the Wattbike Hub and choose a workout or climb
• Connect to your Wattbike Proton and you’ll see a ‘Setup’ option, next to the HR icon
• Tap ‘Setup’ and choose your shifter configurations
• Start your ride - shift up and down on screen or via the shifters
• Switch to a new setup to suit the ride conditions - pause your ride & switch to a new setup (e.g. if you hit a monster gradient!)
• End the ride - the bike will remember your previous setup

How to change your shifter set up for Zwift, or other 3rd party apps:

Setup using the above steps via Wattbike Hub, then connect to Zwift or other 3rd party apps and use that same setup in-game. You can also pause a Zwift session, switch to the Wattbike Hub to change your setup as above, then reselect the Wattbike to resume your Zwift session with a different groupset.

The Wattbike Hub app will remember your last used preference and apply it when you next connect.
