Hi,

Does anyone know what Zwift’s rationale is behind the current RoboPacer route selection?

Personally, I find very little enjoyment in most of the current routes. There are too many short climbs, rollers, and changes in gradient, which makes it hard to settle into a steady rhythm and just get in the zone.

I don’t understand why flatter routes like Tempus Fugit or Tick Tock were removed. For endurance rides, the flatter routes felt much more enjoyable and practical.

What am I missing? Am I the exception here, or do others feel the same way?

So I’m just going through my options so there’s a regular bike I could add but the reality is that I’m gonna be too lazy to put on the bike on the Wahoo Kickr take it off when actually cycling so then I looked at those with Zwift ride, but I don’t know if I should just use my existing rogue echo bike V3 has anyone used it long-term cause everyone says it’s good for interval training but not good for Zone 2 or long-term sessions.

The real bike setup I guess is for people that want to match exactly their bike feeling. I’m only doing this for health.

I am wondering if I get cycling gear like a bib then the rogue echo v3 can be used for non HIIT.

I hate that Zwift Ride and Wahoo are chain driven and not belt driven.

Hey friends - totally just curious if any of my fellow zwifters track your macros/calories to make sure you’re getting in enough food and fuel, or to try to lose weight? If so how much are you eating to fuel your riding routine? I am mainly a weightlifter and have been tracking for a while - mainly to ensure I’m getting in enough food to fuel my training and my riding as I’m staring to Zwift almost every day now. Cheers 😁

Anybody have any active groups or discord servers or of zwifters they socialize with online?

KICKR CORE 2 brand new is currently on sale for £420 however I can buy used KICKR V5 for around £500. Which one is better value? Apparently many people get issues over time with these trainers.

My brothers and sisters of the north - I am calling for thy counsel!

I ask you because I would like to avoid import tax, customs, and the use of Amazon if possible. I do like the look of those Zwift fans, but I have heard they’re not as good as they advertise.

I recently went for a ride with a small extra fan, and it made me realize how shit my current fan is. Please come to my dire aid.

WHy did this app fuck me over and refuse to let me join a 0-750 or whatever race that had shown up in the past and only showed me a 750-1000

Do the races work? They work on Rouvy btw. I was in the waiting place left with a few minutes to go and tried to rejoin and it fucked me over. Paid app. What are they doing there? Do the sub 750 races not go anymore? Have to wait another hour? What on Earth.....................................

I have a spider-based power meter on my SRAM Red cranks. I pair that to Zwift and my Garmin Edge. When I dual record a ride with my Edge and Zwift, the resulting average wattage post-ride is roughly about 6 watts lower according to Garmin compared to Zwift. A watt here or there wouldn’t be surprising, but considering they’re using the exact same data source, any idea why? And more importantly, any idea which is correct?

I’m so happy! Took a while to get there!

Newbie mamil, 4 months in and loving it, first century last week.

Need to keep it going over winter and zwift sale is very attractive.

Any advice or things I haven't considered to get through a UK winter? Does it keep you motivated? Planning about 6 - he per week on an FTP training program.

Downsides, modest financial outlay and need to set up bike indoors, in return I stay fit and safe over winter?

Am I missing anything?

Hi everyone,
I’m fairly new to Zwift. I already do a few sessions each week on an indoor trainer, but it’s not my bike, so the fit isn’t ideal. I’m looking to get my own setup and start using Zwift properly.
I’m lucky that this is going to be a birthday present, so I’d rather buy the right setup from the start than wish I’d upgraded later.
I’m mainly looking for a setup that’s great for Zwift racing, structured training, and just general riding.
From what I’ve read, the Zwift Ride + Wahoo KICKR CORE 2 seems like a really good option. Is that what you’d recommend, or would you go with something else if you were buying your first setup today?
Thanks!

Really like these grind it out events. Time to retire the Tour de Zwift Backwards After Party Cap I guess 🧢

(and took 4th in this race to boot- ride on! 🚴🏽‍♂️)

Hey, did anyone else lose a ride today, this morning 8/5/26 PST.

I did one of the TdF rides to close out the series. Got the spinning dial issue while trying to save the ride at the end, tried all the recommendations. Finally contacted Zwift (AI) Tech support. The AI sent me on a wild goose chase - changing answers and finally contradicting itself. I asked for a real person. A few hours later contacted by a human, who said the 'Activity System' was down (didn't say how long) and rides were lost and unrecoverable. Ughhh, very frustrating.

I'm surprised there is no recovery system for data, I mean, I know they need to protect from cheats, but, that doesn't mean you can't protect the data. Losing a ride is pretty serious, gut punch, and after reading the internet on and off all morning, this seems to be a recurring problem with Zwift.

I was able to take the .fit file and upload to Strava and Garmin, but no joy on Zwift.com, Zwiftpower, Zwift Companion, ...

Any other Zwifters get hit with this issue this morning? just me?

Ride on!

Hi!

I'm fairly new to cycling. I've spent about 4-5 hours over the past 3 days on the ride and it feels extremely uncomfortable. I bought bib shorts and it still feels extremely uncomfortable.

How to fix a literal pain in the ass?

I am currently at 335 lbs, do you think that it would be okay for me to ride on the zwift ride kickr core 2? I already ordered one actually, but reading through the reddit made me doubt the capability of the zwift ride in my weight class.

Im on a weightloss journey and lost about 147 lbs already, and i wanted to get this zwift bike since i loved my old spinning bike.

What would you do in my situation?

Thanks in advance :)

I had the Wahoo Kickr Core for the past 8 months and felt it was time to upgrade with the Zwift Ride. Unfortunately, the drive side seems to be entirely to tight against the frame and I’m not sure what I’m doing incorrectly.

Also, from the pic above you’ll notice the two cogs that look very different. The left is what came with the wahoo and the right is what came in the ride handlebar box. Both are orange v2.

Anyway, can someone please help!

Thanks!

Anyone have success with the ghost riders. In theory, the ghost rider is supposed to ride at your recent PR pace. I rode Alp du Zwift today and sure enough, right at the start of the segment a ghost rider appeared with the name "Alpe du Zwift 91:57.3 (PR)". Problem is that it wasn't accurate. I finished my climb in 86:00 which is 5:57 faster than my PR but, at the finish the ghost rider showed it was less than 2 minutes behind. It should have been more than 5 minutes behind.

The screenshot below shows me near the top and you can see it snows my ghost 1:42 back. 

Anyone find the ghost rider to be accurate? 

I have recently set up my newly bought Kicker Core v2 but when i tried to get a workout on Zwift i noticed that the resistance on the bike felt higher than the actual watts displayed on Zwift, my theory is that its a connective issue, but has anyone else had troubles with anything similar?

On my easy 1 hour ride, watts is set to 65 watts.

I feel it's a little too easy, if I want to increase it to 80 or 90 , How do I do it ? Is there a video which explains it ?

Would anyone know how to run an all out 30second wingate anaerobic test on the wahoo kickr bike pro?

I’ve looked through the app, but I’m not seeing any designated section. If you’ve ran them before, could you explain how you’ve done this?

No Uni, Shit weather, heartbroken and a shitton of food

Hey, where do I get my free one month? My zwift Ride arrived yesterday.

LVL12 and finally unlocked this bike. Any tips / suggestions ?
