New 'Zwift Ride' Smart Frame (June 12, 2024)

Per above, this is limited due to the single-speed setup and lack of virtual shifting in TR.

  • ERG is fully functional.
  • Resistance and/or Standard could also be used, but will require manual adjustment of the setting within the app range coupled with cadence changes. Definitely a hack but sort of parallels virtual shifting to a degree.

The more compatible option to TR is the Elite Square, as the virtual shifting that Elite implemented will work in resistance / sim mode for any app, and not just Zwift like with the Zwift Ride

And to cover that base, here is the TR topic on that model

I only use ERG, should have clarified - so will work fine

Zwift is now selling the Zwift Ride frame on its own, without the trainer, for $799.99:

And I’m not sure if this is new (I think it is) but they’re also selling a Zwift Cog upgrade kit:

I’ve been meaning to get a 12-speed cassette to mount my tri bike on my trainer, but this seems like a better option.

No Saris H3 option……bummer.

I would love to see a frame like this with mountain bike bars compatible with a Garmin Neo2.

The Zwift Ride frame comes with the new version (V2) of the Zwift Cog.

I have now had my zwift ride frame for about 2 months and I’m quite happy with it.

One of the benefits of it for me has been being able to mess around with my bikefit easier because of all the adjustments provided. So far at 193 cm tall I’ve found the fit card provided by zwift to give me a way to long and low frontend. Anybody else that can comment on how they have found the recommended adjustments? :slight_smile:

Zwift Ride gets new cranks:

Just FYI - it’s an add on you have to do after purchase. Hopefully they just start putting them on the bikes, but for now it’s DIY.

I found the provided table terrible to be honest.

Im short at 5ft 6 but have long legs for that height so the seat ended up way to low. Best setting it up the normal way or to match an existing bike then make note of your positions on the sliders.

I also find the shifter hoods awful to hold compared to shimano 105/ult/da etc
