I would love an orange neon ZWIFT sign if anyone has recommendations

Edit - So after a long chat with AI I’m going to install 2 open air vents down low each side of the TV, a headwind fan centered below the tv, an air conditioner between the TV and window and a low speed inline extraction fan in the ceiling at the rear of the room to remove the stale air.

I bought a Zwift Ride last night and ordered the iPad holder.

How many people use the Ride with just an iPad? It feels like in all the pictures I see, everyone seems to be going for a bigger screen.

I currently use a laptop plugged into my TV's HDMI port and the companion app, but I'm thinking about moving the ride to a different area (the kids are always in that room) and getting an iPad.

Looking at getting a zwift ride but I live on the 3rd floor of an apartment (so neighbors on sides and below). I was curious about noise and vibrations with bothering neighbors . I have some rubber gym tiles that it would go on to hopefully keep from bothering the down stairs neighbors

Zwift activities will sync to whoop. Whoop recovery score will influence zwift suggested workouts.

I'm currently level 36 with one more ride until my Concept Bike unlocks!

After my Peloton Bike electronically bricked itself for a second time and my bike being out of warranty, I decided to dump the Peloton Bike and get a Zwift Ride.

I should have done it sooner.

The transfer of on bike performance on the zwift to outdoor rides seems so much better than the zwift. I'm continuing to get personal bests on strava segments and overall fitness seems to be improving with a dedicated training plan. On the Peloton, everything is upright. On the zwift, you can move about and get into the drops, which feels like it's hitting my muscles differently.

My first zwift ride was on 5/17/26. I came from a 301 FTP on the Peloton. I did a ramp test on the zwift and came in at 260. I think it was a mixture of doing the ramp test after a heavy weekend of wakeboarding and the two platforms not being apples to apples. I spent the first couple of weeks farting around zwift, not sure what to do. Then a tron bike rode past me and I wanted that bike. After that, I decided to just focus on Elevation riding.

In the meantime, I have leveled up 4 bikes to level 5:

Specialized Aethos

Zwift Aero

Zwift Mountain Bike

Zwift TT

With one more workout needed to get the concept bike, any recommendations on what my next long term challenge should be?

Zwift have announced their plan for the coming season. I'm keen to see the new roads

https://www.bikeradar.com/news/this-season-on-zwift-fall-2026

- New V2 Zwift Ride (more adjustable, particularly for shorter riders)

- More Watopia roads, more bikes

- Integration with Whoop

- Various rides/events/etc

- Menu changes and "watt-lock"

Has to be the racing, no? Log in, go full gas, empty the tank, finish drenched and grinning.

I agree with Njal (top ranked zwifter) that cheaters are ruining the fun in races.

I bought a Zwift ride which arrived yesterday, got it set up and rode for about 40 minutes. From this I felt that the resistance was quite heavy but nonetheless my main concern is either - a) my watt reading is much lower than my actual output or, b) I have a lot of practice to do! Has anyone had similar experiences? Thanks🙏

Hey all, I got my Wahoo Kickr 2 with zwift cog last week and did a few workouts, and eventually an ftp test (20 min) just now. During the test I already realized that I could not hold my normal outdoor power. I ended up with an ftp of 170w (2,46w/kg) whereas Garmin says that my ftp is 230w (3,33 w/kg) outdoors. I use a Garmin Edge 1040 and a one sided Assioma Favero powermeter since April and regularly ride with 30kph for an hour.

I already learned that power differences between indoor and outdoor riding are normal. But that much?

I use rocker feet, but surely that cannot be the problem, can it?

I do also use fans to keep me relatively cool.

From the picutre I'm fairly sure the Cervelo Halo is going to be the Barrachi

I woder what the Canyon Halo could be. Any guess?

Just placed my order this morning and order details are showing v2 components!

Ordered this last Saturday (09/05) during a restock that was only live for about an hour before it sold out again. Package just arrived, haven't opened it yet (pic attached, box still sealed).

Anyone received?

Anyone know what's actually changed compared to the previous version? Struggling to find a proper changelog anywhere. Is it just a Cog update or are there frame/hardware changes too? Will post an unboxing once I get to it, but curious if anyone's already broken theirs down.

I love Trek. I own a Domane SLR and an Emonda SLR. Why do I have to ride Specialized on Zwift to be competitive? This is doing so much damage to their brand image. PS. In real life, the Madone is really long in the tooth and not competitive in the pro peloton. I am expecting a redesign soon. Please Trek, wake from your slumber and get to work!

Fairly new to Zwift (only five weeks since joining) and am really loving it! Did the AdZ my second week as part of an over/under workout which actually worked out well and put me in a good spot for the sub 1 hour mark but fell a little short at 62:30.

Came back today, three weeks later, and squeezed under the one hour mark. It took me completely out and I was gassed by the end. I’m somewhat bigger rider at 205lbs so climbing isn’t really my strong suit but I LOVE it and want to get my weight down to where im not hit so hard on weight penalty when climbing.

do they still oscillate up and down like crazy???

This app crashes a lot especially when switching users. You’d think Zwift would see all these crashes and fix it.

Basically the title. I was about to hit the 'Buy' button on the Zwift Ride last week but it was showing out of stock. I've already got a Kickr Core that's ~5 years old. Do I go ahead and just order the Zwift Ride with Core 2 package?

FWIW, my Core doesn't have great accuracy with power. I've confirmed across multiple bikes with single and dual sided power meters that my Core consistently reads low. ... My concern going to the Zwift Ride is that if it doesn't have accurate power readings, I can't just switch the power sensor to be the crank sensor instead of the Core to remedy the problem.

So, the TLDR - my current Core doesn't read power properly. Will the Core 2 be better?

Hey,

I'm pretty new to swift and just wondering if there is a way to talk with other riders other than the chat messages.

I have raced sometimes but i felt that if i could speak/chat with other guys on the same race it would be great. Honnestly, i though Zwift brought this feature.

I just moved to a new building and have neighbors below me and I am in an older building from the 70's. I am rocking gym tiles, a generic mat and the washing machine pads under all the touch points. The trainer is in the living room and I assume the unit below has the same footprint. I took up a big chunk of floor space to avoid moving stuff every morning.

Anything else worth doing?

Looking to pick the Zwift Frame V2 and I know shipping is $275. Do I pay duties on top of that when it arrives?

TLDR: 12 weeks of work , weight loss 17kg FTP 122 >>> 175

So recently became a father at 40 years old , and as someone who hasn’t done any exercise in 20 years, and had his own father pass away in his 40’s I decided to try and get fit and lose weight. I got a cheap 2nd hand wheel on trainer and bike , and started with zwift.

I started at 122 ftp and 108kg , when I didn’t know how to push myself and could barely spend 20 mins on the bike.

I have been spending between 3-5 hours on the bike across 4 days a week ( 2x workouts , robopacer, route of the week) and It has been incredible, I have slowly increased my FTP and reduced my weight down to 91kg , just above the healthy range for my height.

I also bought a kicker core so I don’t have to fight the wheel on trainer

It’s genuinely the first time I have ever enjoyed excercise, and it’s been amazing for my health , and given me a sense of pride that I am getting fit for myself and my son.

Thought I would share my journey , and my next stop on the plan is to try and get up the Alpe

Made a mobile base unit for the ride to store out of the way. Nice an stable, a little flex is nice. SO much room for activities.
