Zwift has launched Zwift Ride, a complete indoor cycling setup ready to unlock the full Zwift experience.
This new take on the smart bike pairs a Zwift Smart Frame with a Smart Trainer, providing a convenient and shareable indoor bike for riding on Zwift.
“We’re on a mission to make Zwifting easier by reducing the cost and complexity of hardware,” says Eric Min, Zwift CEO and co-founder.
“Zwift Ride brings all of the advantages of a smart bike at an incredibly affordable price. It’s clean, it’s quiet, incredibly simple to set up and adjust, and can be shared with any member of the household. Importantly when I look at my Zwift Ride, it looks like it belongs in my home. I’ve been riding mine for many months and I can’t wait to share the experience with other Zwifters.”
When designing Zwift Ride, simplicity was deemed a key feature for the brand.
As a result, the included ‘Frame Key’ is all that Zwifters will need to set up and adjust their Zwift Ride, as well as the only tool needed for assembly.
Once assembled, the Frame Key is stored in the top tube. Saddle height, bar height, and reach are all adjusted via three clearly identifiable points on the frame.
Suited to riders between 5ft (152cm) to 6ft 6 inches (198 cm), riders can find their fit using the included fit card.
Integrated handlebars with dual control pads give full control of Zwift from the handlebars to navigate menus, give RideOns or deploy PowerUps with the touch of a button.
Additional buttons at the base of the levers can be configured in the game to provide additional shortcuts, like Ride On’s and PowerUps.
The integrated bike controllers also take care of all essential riding controls.
With gears suited to each Zwift terrain, Zwifters can select their preferred shifting style – Shimano, SRAM, or sequential.
In addition to keeping game controls within reach, Zwift Ride also aims to keep essentials nearby with two bottle cages fitted to the frame. These cages are designed for indoor riding with an easy-to-access drop-in, lift-out cageless design.
A tray at the front of the bike also provides space for users to place their food, towel, and phone. The rubber cover is non-slip and can be removed for easy cleaning.
An optional tablet holder is available to those that use iOS or Android tablet devices. The tablet holder integrates with the front of the bike tray and holds the tablet via a quick-release fixing strap.
Zwift Ride With Kickr Core will begin shipping from Wednesday, June 26.
