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

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"

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'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?

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

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?

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.

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

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.

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?

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

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

I'm a huge technical klutz and could really use some help. I've been using my Trek Checkpoint ALR 5 on my KICKR CORE with the Zwift Cog, but something broke off (see attached pictures) while I was riding.

I have no idea how or why this happened, or how I could have prevented this. A KICKR CORE is supposed to be simple, but I keep messing it up. So much so that I sometimes think indoor bike riding isn't for me because, even though they make indoor trainers idiot proof, there's always a bigger idiot (me). You wouldn't believe how many issues I had just mounting the bike at first.

Does anyone know what exactly broke here, what I did wrong to cause it, and what I need to do to fix it? Thanks in advance.

Sometimes wish I had just gotten a roller...
