I wonder if the Elite Rizer is compatible with Wahoo SYSTM. As far as I can tell, it’s more or less the competitors equivalent to Wahoo’s own Kickr Climb. While it seems the Elite Rizer works fine with Zwift and other platforms like Bkool or Rouvy, SYSTM seems more like a closed environment in that case.
Can anyone tell about first hand experience with using the Rizer with SYSTM. And can anyone from the Development team share, if it’s at least on the roadmap to open SYSTM to third party climbing equipment like with any other smart trainers?

Sir, the Elite Rizer does not work on SYSTM. The Rizer does not communicate directly to any cycling platform, it goes through the connected smart trainer to get the necessary data information to operate. I tried using my Rizer with my KICKR indoor trainer with no luck, and it also does not work when using an Elite Justo indoor trainer. As you mentioned, the Rizer works well on other indoor cycling platforms, so I can only conclude that Wahoo wants to restrict the climb feature on SYSTM to Wahoo products only. Wahoo could certainly clear the air on this issue if they wanted to.

I bookmarked this thread with the wild dream Wahoo actually still checked this forum. Edited for accuracy haha.
I am sad because as others have also noted, it doesn’t seem like Wahoo management cares to let us know if other trainer incline products will be ever allowed to pay nice with Systm suffer fest.
I am happy (?) because the incompatibility is saving me $1200+Cdn (?)
