You might have seen Veloton on Youtube and social media.
“Veloton combines the realism of video games with the intensity of serious training and helps you perform. Complete challenges and earn achievements in routes based on real life stages.”
The graphics and number of kms that are already in Beta are amazing.
There is another thread that kind of mentions it but I think it needs its own topic.
You currently need their bike or one of a limited number of trainers it works with.
They were (are?) marketing as a GAME. So Xbox, PS, console.
So maybe they will sell the app like a game ($40-$60)
and they charge a smaller subscription fee…
Maybe this will be like WoW (I think is 15 a for monthly and lower for longer times). But you will need to buy new DLC…
I’ve been using RGT the last two weeks, got sick the load time and server lag of Zwift (plus updates always on a days I’m running late.)
Rgt and Veloton are similar, never realised how good some bits of RGT are until running it full bore on i7 11th gen… was always a bit glitchy on an i5 without a graphics card… but does work. Rgt works low def on an i3… not sure Veloton will.
You’ll love (or should trying to establish a break… if the Peloton see you as a threat they close you down quick… if you set to aggressive AI riders they counter attack.
Between training I need to try it a bit more, on a wahoo so far the resistance seems a bit extreme for a given grade.
