Are you an avid #Zwift fan or did you try #rouvy? What's your opinion? 🙂

I like your calm and friendly manner. You seem to be a really likable guy. I've subscribed because I think you're one of the few people I would chat with during my gym session 🙂

Thank you for the video. Normally I have only 30-60 minutes time to ride my bike. That's why I prefer structured workouts. Do you have experience with the rouvy workouts? Are they useful?

@crankandsprints 6 ай бұрын

I tried a few(not on video) the trainings are actually well structured. 30mins and 60minutes training indoor are very effective, especially if is intense or interval training. If is not Zone2 I usually train for 45/60mins when I'm indoor 👍

Hello, do you know how to change the camera angles in Rouvy as you can do in Zwift?....Thanks

@crankandsprints 6 ай бұрын

Hello kuya, on the top right while riding you are able to change the camera, but only 3 angles unfortunately: - rear camera (classic) - front camera - panorama view Hope this helps 👍

Currently subscribed to both platforms and I find myself enjoying Rouvy more for the realism in graphics and drafting. Zwift has more races and great workouts. Can always find a race on Zwift when Im short on time. The whacky power ups, coffee breaks and cartoon world graphics can be annoying. Zwift has fun messaging which Rouvy lacks. Pros and Cons for each so I keep both for now.

Great analysis and couldn't agree more. You explained the pros and cons for both. Worth using both if someone can afford or mainly cycles indoor 👌 thanks for the comment

Rouvy seems like a cool platform.

I'm yet to try the others, but Rouvy is pretty solid 👌

@@crankandsprints ive done about 9000km on zwift but i dont bike often anymore so $25 Cad a month is too wild for me.

Over 100 riders were on the rouvy race I did this evening.. a shame you happened to choose one that was a tt ie no drafting.. i do think the ability to view all available races when planning in advance is a poor though.

@crankandsprints 6 ай бұрын

I agree, because I could find the last only online. Out of curiosity what race was it? I think I'll do a video in the future to test again Rouvy in case of future updates 👍 thanks to all the comments

@crankandsprints one of the 'spring into action' races, Belgium ie spring classics. . Generally where the routes are part of live challenges there are more people. Also early evening european time, or weekends, after usually busiest. The event search is poor and there are multiple websites, plus the app, so various ways to find events but not all seem to show up on each, or only for a limited period into the future. Very annoying.

@roeboeski 6 ай бұрын

There are a lot of races with many riders, don't know where you looked?

@crankandsprints 6 ай бұрын

It's not a criticism, I entered the game and there was only one race, I tried to explain the perspective of someone that just enter the App for the first time and tries different activities I checked the calendar prior to that and I could see that in that evening there was only one, I could see others during the day after, but not as frequent as Zwift where I have a selection of 3/4 races every hours (different types obviously)
