I'm a once outdoor rider that has transitioned into a solely indoor rider. My Zwift setup is a bit outdated and I'm looking to upgrade. This package suits me perfectly.

Hi 🖐️ I snapped my femoral head off my femur in September in a crash and couldn’t walk for three months. It was my third fracture on a bike, after my shoulder and collarbone. As a father of two kids, I can’t justify the danger any longer. The Zwift ride frame has given me so much cycling freedom back and a fractional cost with virtually no maintenance. It’s a game changer!

You know that’s probably the best reason yet, glad it worked out for you!

The Zwift Ride is not aimed at riders with bikes and smart trainers. It's aimed at the same people that would have bought a Peloton, but don't have an outdoor bike. I bought my Stages SB20 about three years ago and if this had been available at that time, I would have bought this. I don't want an outdoor bike. I'm sure a lot of people that would have bought a Peloton will be attracted to this because of the Zwift environment. There's a lot to be said about the Zwift community.

@dobbscycleworks 11 дней назад

Yeah that definitely feels like that’s the goal to target more of that market and to be fair it’s a smart play. They basically undercut their biggest competition price wise and it being modular with the trainer separate gives it a massive leg up on other smart bikes.

@derekbroussard Месяц назад

The bike is for those who want to get into zwift or fitness. But are not cycling. This is a great way to try to convince my friends to start indoor cycling with me. It’s not for us at all.

@dobbscycleworks Месяц назад

Yeah I’d agree probably best suited for those just starting out or looking to only do indoor riding. Cade media pointed out it’s priced just under the price of a peloton so that could very well be the market they’re going for.

True to some extent but I have been Zwifting for several years, both cycling and running and I have multiple setups and just because of that experience, I saw how perfect the Zwift ride filled the needs of my family. A new Zwifter would not see nor understand it's potential imho. I know others that look at this bike from a "we" perspective and not the "I" perspective who are strongly considering...

I ordered one last week and got an email with a DPD tracking number. Unfortunately the tracking number is not showing on the system I'm not getting much stasifaction from Zwift in tracking it. All I am getting from them is that it has been shipped and they are looking into it. I would be cautious before ordering. For the record i am in Ireland.

I just got the zwift ride and it's great. Main reason I got it is 1. to bring to summer house (much easier to transport). 2. Works with 4 ppl in my family with very different body sizes. I already have kickr v5 and a kickr bike shift so this is my 3rd setup. All 3 have different purposes and pros/cons. There's no one size fits all... And the Zwift price increase...nothing compared to all the money I would spend on meds in the future if I didn't Zwift. And I don't think that you would think that a person with 2 setups already would buy the Zwift Ride. Some day, ppl may stop seing themselves are reps of the worlds need and wants. At least Zwift takes the lead and innovate, and not only copy like ....

Can you tell me if it is really as silent as promised?

@repmortskcab8483 28 дней назад

@deniswerner9448 I have 3 setups, including the wahoo kickr bike shift. The bike shift is extremely quiet. This Zwift Ride (at least mine) is extremely quiet. My son came home when I was testing it and he was amazed. Only thing that bugs me is the tablet holder at 49.99€ that is just a piece of fairly simple plastic. The only kit that I can put on the car bike holder on the hook and be used by our family of 4

I love my Zwift Ride. It's fantastic. I've used other indoor trainers, and I just love this one. May not be for everyone and that's dandy.

Had my Zwift ride for 2 weeks now, came within 2 days, Zwift clicks goes great on the top bars and works really well, quiet and smooth all round, my iPad 13” pro M4 works great with it and pairs up with all devices fast with no hassle, great bit of kit, changed pedals for SPD-SL and it was good to go, pain cave ready

@dobbscycleworks 16 дней назад

Good to hear from someone who actually bought one! What was the main thing that lead to going with the smart bike combo over a regular trainer?

@Airmonus 11 дней назад

I bought one the day it came out. It took about a week to get. I was in the market for a trainer. I am brand new to the world of cycling indoors (and cycling in general). My current bike is a Trek 7.2 from 2014 (about 600 miles this summer). I was looking at a couple of different choices. The smart bikes were all in the $3k+ range. That is a little "spicy", but plausible. A Wahoo Kickr seemed like what I wanted to go with, but using my own bike seems like a PITA. I live on the 33rd floor and my bike is stored in the bike room on the bottom floor. Then I saw a few of the influencers talking about this and it looked like it was perfect for me. Being locked into Zwift seems to be the only negative, but if I needed to, I could get a gear set and mount it on to the Kickr. I only have 5.5 hours on it so far (chest cold right after it arrived), but so far so good. It does not wake my wife up in the room next to it. You are right about the tool. Just a 5mm hex key, but being able to store it at the bike makes it easier for my wife and I to share.

@dobbscycleworks 11 дней назад

Sounds like it was the perfect move for you then! I was super hesitant about this at first but I’m hearing more and more folks that it seems to fit perfectly so that’s great!

@EgglyMcBagelface3 Месяц назад

I disagree with you because you're on the internet! I'm happy to pay Zwift the increased price for the service, but would be very okay if they stuck to the software side going forward. There is also a competitor to this product that just launched, so going back in time when they were really big on hardware, it made sense to try and make a competing product. It made sense then but less so now.
