Indoor Elevation / Grade Simulator

For those training indoors & have access to either a Wahoo Kickr climb, Kickr bike, or an Elite Rizer, these devices pair & communicate to a smart trainer telling the trainer there’s is a hill (sent by Zwift or some other software platform). The resistance at the trainer & the Kickr Climb, bike, or Rizer’s elevation at the front go up accordingly. They offer a similar +20/-10 degree amount of movement, raising up your bike as it pivots on the rear axle on the smart trainer.

The only true way to simulate gradient changes indoors is to elevate the bike. That way, the proper order for muscle recruitment happens in the proper sequence. If a stationary bike remains level but, the rider is asked to ⬆️ wattage to simulate “climbing,” this action is more akin to wind resistance training simulation than elevation simulation.

The Ask:

It would be extremely useful in training on Join to utilize this powerful elevation training feature through these devices resulting in a more engaging & fun training session. Can these commands be added to what’s being communicated from Join to my Garmin head unit or the Join Workout Player?
