Is This The Perfect Indoor Bike? Zwift Ride Reviewed AND Raced

[@MarkLewisfitness]

Well that was fun 😂

[@frostyrobot7689]

Nice one Mark. I've been havering about getting a Zwift Ride to replace the Echelon Ex3 I have (that has no gear-shift). I think you've just made up my mind.

[@jamesnevin5145]

@@NathanBall86 Somebody didn't watch the whole video! some fan.. ;)

[@Nehpets1701G]

I remember your Zwift days! I know the channel has somewhat moved on, but seeing the odd Zwift video now and then would be a real treat!

[@mylor1066]

Dog Soldiers - class film. 👊🏼

[@codemonkey181]

Well the pain of that came across really well! I was transported back to my trainer road days! and could only dream about the interactivity of zwift. Product review or not, you always make it an entertaining watch.

[@jamesrobinson2200]

Haha, I was the 3rd in that little group, 'Who'd probably never heard of you, and ignored it all!'....I ended up being beat by 2 seconds...although at least I didn't collapse on floor at the end, so who's the real winner here?!

[@madshansson20]

Back to the good old bike (training) videos. Love it

[@Blazej_Kar]

+1 That's how I came here 2 years ago :)

[@danishindian2107]

My favorite also!

[@tombarnes2652]

This sort of content is way more motivating to watch. Makes you wanna get excited about something and go do it.

[@choanlpoto]

you dont get excited over trying ozempic like your favorite youtuber ??

[@LvanderM]

Love to see you back on Zwift.

[@carrickjjc]

'By the time my invisibility cloak wore off I was only about 2 metres ahead of them' 🤣

[@IlkkaHarmanen]

Mission failed successfully!

[@Hiney466]

These types of videos were the ones that got me into your channel in the first place. Love it, look forward to seeing more of them 😊

[@CBRMackie63]

Great to see you back in Watopia! By the way, the Ghost power up is disabled at 400m, good tactic though! Also, you and I got on Zwift around the same time (you were probably on a few months before). I was searching on KZbin for Zwift tips and landed on one of your videos. While I've never fell to the floor it was great to see someone suffering the way I was...I've been a sub ever since!

[@ChaosOrganised]

Recovering from surgery here, glad you let yourself go a bit, because the return to fitness is just what I need. Its all about meeeeeeeeee. Nice to see you back Mark.

[@andrewzach1921]

Just got back from gym where i did a hour of cardio with a HIIT workout on the bike that I started when i started watching Mark. My fitness has improved since i took his message of being better than average to heart. Thanks for all the videos Mark and all the motivation. I am glad you are getting back in the saddle again.

[@RMILLSMMA]

Good work man! 👍🏻

[@chrismorgan510]

“Something for date night” brilliant

[@wanderingincircles2019]

Bring on the Zwift races!

[@WilfShadow]

"No pain!!!" Well loads actually but that makes it a fab watch ♥️

[@tompage7394]

Your original videos first got me into Zwift training and racing which I still enjoy to this day. Great to see you back on the bike and look forward to further content.

[@jordanstocker-palmer8023]

I honestly love your content and sense of humour, always makes me belly laugh! Quite a rarity these days! Thank you Mark... and sometimes Jen

[@Gborn73]

Glad you're back to some fitness. You motivated me to get a gravel bike last summer and to join Zwift.

[@SCggoode]

Looking forward to watching your new Zwift journey Mark!

[@adventurecats4816]

Good to see you back on a bike, along with the expected vocalizations haha. And Dog Soldiers is the best werewolf movie ever made, full stop.

[@MarkLewisfitness]

No argument on dog soldiers 👍

[@david.fit9]

I started on zwift last year because of you, glad to see you are back

[@chrismackenzie28]

Good to see you back, simple trick for the fan is to have a little Christmas tree clicker that plugs into your outlet and fan in reach of your bike. Makes life easier.

[@MrWobling]

Welcome back Mark. Looking forward to the next one. RideOn!

[@TheCharnwoodCyclist]

Laughed several times during this video Mark, great video and it’s a skill to make others laugh, well done.

[@toddtannenbaum7092]

Glad you are back to making Zwift videos! I really enjoyed them back in 2020. Ride on.

[@simondent2996]

Great review glad your back mark 🎉

[@danieljackson5497]

You got me into zwift. Glad to see you are back. I havent used zwift in ages to be honest, i need a smart bike that works properly

[@woz9uk]

Mate, fair play to you for getting back to it! I spent most of this video laughing at your commentary though, keep up the good work Sir

[@Real_Matt]

Really enjoy your uploads Mark, good bit of company on a lonely sunday night in winter.

[@bedcurt]

Great to see you back in the pain. Am I cruel in saying that its great comedy seeing you absolutely knackered !

[@dewidavies7995]

This is the lightest smart bike I now. The best when you are moving home. ✨️ thanks great video amazing.

[@iTribe-xn9qe]

Good luck! We’re both on the same boat. Looking forward to watching your struggles as I do my own as well😂. Thanks for being motivating.

[@pragmaticduck1772]

The banter during the pre race was awesome haha. Born ready mate, great video

[@IanSHaskins]

After not being able to follow Mark on his (eye opening) Mounjaro journey, I am pleased to say that struggling on Zwift is right up street and Mark is once again a relatable KZbinr for me.

[@cube04]

MARK LEWIS YOU TUBE-LEGEND!! 💪🏻

[@malperro14]

Enjoying seeing the guitars in the shots.

[@RicardoVelozo]

Thanks for getting to my level! It’ll be great motivation to getting in shape this year!

[@AlmaPerry]

I would absolutely love to see you put a mountain bike/running trail around your property. Zwift bikes and other type of trainers are great (and believe me I am jealous of yours!), but getting outside is a totally different level. Can't wait to see you get back into more exercise variants. Love it!

[@ForceMassMotion-b6v]

Bang per buck on time / value, there is nothing better that doing a targeted hour of training on an indoor trainer. There is no comparison to going outside, they are different sports. But if you have little time / live in Greenland, Zwift is a treat and the best way to get fit, fast...

[@mudonsunday]

love the comedy mixed in with the fitness.

[@stephenbetley9596]

Ill all week. Thanks for the reminder to get a short (very) Zwift ride in to keep up the week streak. 😀

[@sebastienbrochard9812]

I love how they smash you on the sprint and them casually drop a thumb up ... 😂🤣

[@stuartandrew9091]

Glad you're back being a professional athlete! Good luck with the 2025 comeback. More of this please. Stu

[@chemicalsnail4531]

I love to see you back on the back Mark! Keep it up :)

[@santaclart]

Proper motivating this mate. Trying to get into indoor riding after having two knee replacements and putting on too much weight. Would love to try Zwift or the bike.

[@johnbibby5033]

I am hear for the Zwift Ride chat, but I stay for the Dog Soilders mention. Sausages!

[@sallybridge7651]

Great to see you back on the bike…..I’m now waiting for the dog to be making an appearance 😂

[@Patch1815]

Glad you’re back Mark

[@Maverick5588]

Great video and review, i really appreciate how you do them.

[@Cookefan59]

I kind of took off competing in 2024 because of business reasons but kept working out. I plan on 7 triathlons this year of varying lengths. I will be 66 yo this year. Your channel and videos bring a wonderful perspective, sense of humor and common sense that I can certainly appreciate young man. 😂 Keep up the great work.

[@dewidavies7995]

Been watching long time love and light. You are my mentor

[@hugoed3740]

Great content as always Mark, thank you. Good to see another above average fitness guy like me, although I’m in the older age bracket, 70+ 😂 When I compete, I aim for the top half of finishers and then collapse happy! 🙃

[@jackbartlett9478]

I've missed the zwift and long run content. Get back on the cardio train (dolphin) Mark!

[@dominicrafferty4286]

Very motivating content Mark. Love it

[@DarenC]

Love it! Great to see you back on Zwift, Mark. That's what I originally subbed for back in 2021 or so when you were on something like 16k subscribers. Been on a bit of a journey since then!

[@MarkLewisfitness]

Thanks for hanging there 😂

[@Sneaker_Net]

Great stuff Mark! Thank you!

[@jamesmay6895]

Looking forward to seeing the motivational wall art !

[@n4wki]

Quack YEAH! I love Zwift Mark Lewis Pro Cycling Beast back!

[@cliffordbw]

Zwift bike was a gamble when I got it…. After a few months, I can say it works great… no issues.

[@LeeSkillen-gw5ru]

Wow impressive time on the 2021 8.58, great fitness now still even considering your absence from cycling

[@RyanCondon]

Back on Zwift 💪

[@martijnbohms3803]

Glad to see you are back in Zwift!

[@kurt698939]

Awesome Mark, worth the wait.

[@fc_gaming8680]

Good to see you back on zwift! I was wondering where your orange t shirt is from? 4:22

[@ChrisCanMakeStuff]

I look forward to hearing more about the motivational poster setup.

[@Savonge]

welcome back to Zwift ! I hope you will get stronger and break this bike like you broke the kickr ,

[@crankgreenwatts]

Nice video Mark 👌 Bought a Zwift Ride for my Wife for Xmas, just waiting on the Jet Black Victory for her as-well 🤞 Am tempted to get one myself as I live stream Zwift as-well (please 👀) .. Keep it up and keep Zwifting as really enjoyed your previous content 🙌

[@sreddydk]

Hey Mark, I recently started Swifting (I'm also completely new to cycling). I have been very inspired by your videos. My setup is a BikeErg + an iPad Pro which I am loving. I am trying to avoid shiny new object syndrome, but I am wondering how much I am missing out on by not using a smart trainer. Love your relatable videos, keep up the good work.

[@lukecollins7965]

This looks like great fun!!

[@runstokesrun]

Very tempted to get one of these bikes and try Zwift.

[@devidia]

Some new clips in the bank for upcoming video's! Well done

[@MrRichiewake]

Dog solider’s 😂😂, I’ve exactly the same issue

[@SvenR-s7i]

Great Video, great to see you again! Do you offer group rides with you? Would be fun. Best! Sven

[@Red5StayOnTarget]

That intro was hilarious

[@smithers19811]

Ooh I want one of those seems more affordable set up and little hassle very tempted

[@raph20869]

I have a Decethlon Challenge bike which is really good I prefer to be able to go on several platforms, but I'm on Rouvy, it allows me to learn geography!

[@leos-redline]

I got distracted by PE lessons for adults is way too real.. hahaha

[@markgriffiths409]

Awesome vid Mark 😎💪

[@Ric995]

You are wairing Jenn's pink socks? 😂

[@nalissa77]

Entertaining as always!

[@rebjake]

Not cool to jump off the bike like a hero after a sprint, although it makes for good video drama...keep spinning to cool down. Either way, good to see you back on zwift, it's what brought me to your channel in the first place

[@irfuel]

He's not going to die if he doesn't keep spinning.

[@rebjake]

@irfuel thank God for that.

[@annick9684]

Bike looks really Nice, but still seems a bit wobbly. I got a Keiser and that is not whobbly at all. Biggest complaint for me is that you need a monthly subscription and nowadays there are so many options to choose from (rowing, biking, Jumping, lessMills and so many others). I like it if you don’t need a power socket to make everything work, so this one wouldn’t be for me. But I understand it completely that you love it!

[@PhantomMs1]

more zwift! more zwift! MORE ZWIFT!! 😀

[@foundfoundfound1]

dragging 100kg up zwift’s alpe du huez in under an hour is still a very impressive effort.

[@knott-e]

Dog Soldiers, this man is indeed a connoisseur

[@Grandpa_Bod]

Missed your videos so much I sat through this whole video knowing...I'll never be able to afford one of these lol.

[@hulkthedane7542]

Funny, how a years worth of inactivity has a negative impact on your physical abilities....😂😂😂. You are back on track - the boring, hard part of the track, but still. I wish you a safe and fun journey towards "better than average". Train hard, stay safe!

[@keithevans5667]

My Bromptons set up on a Kinetic trainer 😂

[@smat1x]

Oh no, not the motivational wall art 😂

[@choanlpoto]

EPO cycle prescribed by your doctor for overcoming amateur depression and you will be back on top in no time.

[@billcodey1430]

Falling off the bike never gets old. The duck pond podium never gets old either.

[@ReVolts2008]

Loved the video, I too let my self go in 2024 & 2023... Well never really been in shape but this year that changes, current goals drop 10KG to get to 83 and do a single pull up. I can currently do 40kg on lat pull down so some serious work to be done. Look forward to seeing your progress :)

[@Zanduk05]

Was considering getting this to replace my aunt’s old 20 year old bike I currently use for zwift, I think it’ll be worth the investment!

[@imprezaaudi]

Zwift has moved over to racing score. It takes your finish position into consideration for the score along with some power data figures. You will be given a score now, which is today 218. You are effectively a cat D rider level currently. Don't worry your score will jump quickly as the fitness returns. There are less sandbaggers with RS and if one or two do sneak in they are almost immediately promoted into the next level

[@MarkLewisfitness]

ahhh...interesting! thanks

[@johnwalsh9285]

I love my zwift bike it's unbelievable it makes such a pleasure to get on a bike on the trainer

[@MrMattie725]

Interesting, I use virtual shifting and never noticed a delay or something like that. In fact, due to not grinding gears I feel more comfortable shifting under load. I have trainer difficulty at around 50% though, which makes the jump between virtual gears bigger. Also, I (60kg) followed this channel quite early on and would have never expected to deliver more sprint wattage than you some day :D

[@andrewmcalister3462]

Looking forward to a “how much faster can I get on Zwift in 4 weeks” video in late February.

[@merickrickman4092]

What do you think of the 170mm crank length? I almost bought that set up, but I've been running 175's on everything but my bigger travel bike, and I can't stand the shorter length on that one. I'm 6'5" and had considered going up to 177.5's and even 180's when I raced road. Glad to see you making this style of video again :)

[@SuperYtc1]

This guy is the definition of yo-yo dieter. And there's nothing wrong with that. It is fun to eat nice food, and it is fun to set fitness goals.

[@ivartheboneless1456]

Something for date nite 😂😂😂

[@valentijn1234567]

I never come this early I swear. This never happens

[@tmobz]

That’s ok, it happens to all men at some time 😂😂

[@syrus3k]

New uncut falling off the bike.. scary!

[@richos5535]

Well done
