Here’s how TrainerRoad and Zwift differ, why TrainerRoad is the choice for athletes wanting to get faster, and how you can leverage both platforms together to maximize your cycling experience.
Can Zwift Upgrades Keep Up with Real Fitness?
What’s the fastest way up Alpe du Zwift—virtual upgrades or real fitness?
Most Zwifters grind for months unlocking top-tier bikes, convinced they’ll shave minutes off their climbs. But what if structured training made you even faster—without the endless grind?
We ran the numbers, and the results are clear: A 10-watt fitness gain—achievable in just 1-2 months with TrainerRoad—saved nearly twice as much time as Zwift’s best bike unlocks. Meanwhile, unlocking the fastest bikes can take up to 42 months.
Forget the grind—unlock real speed. Start training smarter today.
