New Zwift Ride | Smart Bike and Indoor Cycling Setup

[@nalissa77]

Dang, if I didn't already have a set up I'd be all over this... looks amazing!

[@Mr_Daso]

Already having a Kickr Core, I can't wait for the frame to be released on its own along with the zwift cog. Switching bike between myself and my partner really sucks since we're taking turns almost daily.

[@tommyphillips8547]

Just get a Wattbike lol

[@hectorrusinqueolaya9286]

@@tommyphillips8547 Wattbikes are overpriced garbage lol

[@gman16478]

Or get a chain lift. Makes taking the bike in and out of the trainer a breeze.

[@Raguel1984]

Can't wait for the frame itself. We keep switching bikes when we both want to zwift the same day xD

[@MJPercy]

would be good if the smart bike can be bought separately without core, which I already have?

[@werkdodger]

This frame only option is coming this Fall.

[@ubiquityxx]

Great work guys, it looks fantastic!

[@dubbs648]

Will a version without the Kickr Core become available? I already have the core but really want the rest of the kit

[@werkdodger]

Available later this year.

[@katesmiles4208]

Curious, why isn't the free zwift membership included for people who buy this bike in Australia?

[@PeacefulRallyCar-pw3cs]

175mm cranks? And a sweat fender for the chain.

[@darkarchon78]

Can it be used with another app than Zwift? 😛

[@sharpbakers1]

Why the little pulley gizmo behind the chainring/crank?

[@MITaerobike]

It's a chain tensioner, flipping it off so there's no tension allows you to hang the chain on the custom dropout. This makes it easy to take the frame off the trainer without getting your hands greasy!

[@ukchub6633]

Any chance of include 1year membership or more maybe getting new upcoming Zwift bike this 26 June? I can even bring your stuff to really gym...

[@VOTWO]

Looks nice! Will be waiting for the frame to be sold separatly, and for @wahoofitness to release a new firmware for kickr V5 to support v-gears. Also variable or changeable crank arm length is mandatory!

[@LewLew18]

Will the forks be compatible with the Kickr climb? Most people already have the hardware so the package wont interest most people, but the adjustment for different people is where it’s at so this needs to be effortless and you also need family subscriptions to compliment.

[@werkdodger]

No plans to make it compatible with the climb. Our goal was to keep it very simple for V1.

[@cptleeadama5232]

I have a hub and can't wait for the frame to be available separately. I also hope more trainer manufacturers become compatible with the one drive system soon :)

[@sakatango]

When is it coming to India .

[@Cmondu]

Where you going to store your old frames ?😅

[@engorm]

I believe it is missing an important feature, which is degree of freedom for lateral and longitudinal movement in order to avoid overload on the hips, a common problem people have when riding a lot indoor.

[@f8c3themusic]

Oh snap!!!!

[@samfrombelgium]

Im blown away that they designed the frame with that allen key in mind😮. Lol 😅 are the bolts getting loose all the time? At first i thought they build a gradient changer inside that black piece.. now im dissapointed that this is 1300 euro.also wonder how sweat proof everything is.

[@brianmiller2135]

I was hoping to find answers as to how sweat resistant the controllers are. It seems impractical to drape a towel over them.

[@andrewdalespencer]

I assumed the front black fork was a climb and would change the angle for uphill and down. Big miss. Didn’t bother with the rest of the video once I realized

[@werkdodger]

We focused on keeping it simple and keeping costs down.

[@mistercoli1506]

Will it be avaliable in asia ?

[@werkdodger]

Coming to Japan soon.

[@PopGoesTheWorld2023]

But I already have the Kickr v6. I just need the frame. I also have the cog. Why not release the frame by it self at the same time for people like me?

[@werkdodger]

It's coming later this year.

[@funnights74]

Pedals supplied?

[@JRow-x4i]

Yes flat pedals are included, but you can add your own pedals if you prefer to ride with cleats. Ride on!

[@victorschepisi590]

Will you have 172.5 cranks available?

[@werkdodger]

No plans yet.

[@AdamSpokes]

Can I use the zwift hub with the frame?

[@werkdodger]

Yes when the frame only option becomes available.

[@MR-wh5wp]

The front looked unstable when they stood up out of saddle

[@rbahati]

Thats me on the bike and I made a few real efforts on it, its very stable.

[@GaryBleck]

Wait… the seat setback isn’t adjustable? Why?

[@werkdodger]

We designed the bike based on thousands of fittings so unless your fit is really out of the ordinary, it should work.

[@derekw948]

Why not have it sold with Zwift hub?

[@chrislaing4648]

Discontinued

[@derekw948]

@@chrislaing4648 oh wow I’ve been out of the loop. Didn’t even know that

[@Albatrossamongus]

Too many quality control failures with the Zwift Hub, it was such junk they had to discontinue it.

[@werkdodger]

@@Albatrossamongus Nah. We decided to work with Wahoo instead.

[@kayjay8578]

How did you miss on not making this compatible with standard square taper cranks? Literally the entire industry has abandoned the one-size-fits-all crankset.

[@werkdodger]

This was deliberate and had to do with increased reliability and durability.

[@kayjay8578]

@@werkdodger 🤣🤣🤣

[@mattfox1987]

Can't wait for this to cost more than a bike and a smart trainer

[@nicholkid]

Can't wait for this not to even be sold in Canada Edit: I stand corrected, $2000 cad

[@jaredlash5002]

Zwift is missing a big opportunity by holding off on releasing the bike separately for those of us who already have a Kickr. This is the northern hemisphere summer, when a lot of people are taking their bikes off the trainer and riding outdoors. The trainer-specific bike would be a great complement for those days and times that riding outdoors is problematic. Waiting until late autumn means waiting until people are already putting their bikes back on the trainers which means they won't need the trainer-specific bike.

[@lukasmobus3024]

@zwift does anyone know when the zwift ride needs to get new lube on it? They say i don´t need to lube it. So never ever or at some point?

[@rgriffinjones]

It looks amazing 😍

[@gluon8760]

ordering it for sure

[@fraserp2377]

If this would have been available when i started out i would 💯 have gone for it. Looks great.

[@livcrash]

Meantime, you increased yearly cost of 50€

[@oxharp]

Looks just amazing and I cannot wait till the ride is available. I have been looking at second hand smart bikes so now I have the complete package when its available. I am tired of taking my bike off and on every time i want to ride outside.

[@SharpElbows123]

where is the treadmill with a wireless gamepad/joystick so you can walk and then press the button to jump/shoot whatever?? why doesn't this exist

[@eoincasey5461]

How Much??

[@RainieYang889]

Could have done a Tron Bike special edition and mark up 500 pounds. People will still buy it

[@JamesKnightSmith]

Where do i put my beer?

[@e995a1ad]

The fact that virtual shifting only works with Zwift (at this time at least) is a major issue

[@y.a.p8951]

well. when you buy the frame , do they not giving the 12month subscription? this should be enough to be stress free, gives enough time to add additional compatibility and extra features.

[@e995a1ad]

@@y.a.p8951 I wouldn't a buy a device on the promise of a feature that might or might not be delivered in the future. They could just as well decide to lock you indefinitely into their ecosystem.

Price increase after 7 years. We are, however, trying to offer hardware at the most affordable price.

[@badsamaritansofficial6704]

Imagine buying this and then zwift goes bankrupt or stops support on this frame. You'll be stuck with a useless worthless piece of tech.

[@MrNytrog]

Chain? Really? Why? To make noise? Just put a silent beltdrive then... Cmon Zwift! You can do better!

[@werkdodger]

If you are an outdoor cyclist, you will like the feel of a chain much better than a belt! A chain is also much easier to maintain and more affordable than a belt system.

[@chamillou]

Great to see Zwift loosing time and money doing this instead of improving the game and lowering the prices.

[@Gatotsu2009]

The Zwitf price was the same since 2018, in 6 years anyone has to expect a price increase. Also they need to sell more hardware so they can increase their suscription sales.

[@jackdavis8786]

This explains why the price has gone up

[@kennethdarlington]

In need of those sweet-sweet VC money😅

[@r0sco_1]

@@Gatotsu2009 I agree, my biggest complaint about the price rise is it jumped so high so quickly. It would have been more palatable to increase by a few % per year so avoid a large jump.

Will not work that design. Show me a hard sprint on this bike. Zwift Play never worked always defect. Sorry wrong design

[@werkdodger]

Watch this space and feedback from others!

[@craiglindberg4851]

Complete fail. Not as nice as using my own bike instead. I can get a used bike for something dedicated. The button shifting is a poor simulation of real shifting. There's no built-in climb functionality. Waste of money! Zwift is a software company. Stick to that. More online roads! Optional real-world riding.

[@jackdavis8786]

For a second I was thinking what a cool idea until the Alan key tool came out. What a terrible design feature. Surely that could have been just an accessory that comes in the box and not attached to the frame.

[@jamesmckenzie3532]

The idea is you don't have to go looking for it when you need to adjust the bike. And I don't need another hex key. I have a mountain of them.

[@jackdavis8786]

@@jamesmckenzie3532 seriously tho, sticking it in the middle of the frame? The only reason I can see the need for this bike is if there are more than one person in the house wanting to use it. What does this bike do that a normal bike on trainer set up doesn’t?

[@jamesmckenzie3532]

@@jackdavis8786 Most people don't or can't have a dedicated bicycle on their trainer. This should cost as much as an aluminum bicycle and you don't have to be swapping your bike on and off of the trainer.

@@jamesmckenzie3532 it takes 30sec to take your bike on and off, it doesn’t solve any problem, you could buy an old steel bike for a few hundred pounds and have a dedicated indoor setup

[@Albatrossamongus]

Deliberately preventing people from using any other crank or bottom bracket by using a non ISO sized proprietary square taper bottom bracket is truly a scumbag move from Zwift. 170mm cranks are a deal breaker for a lot of people.

[@jamesmckenzie3532]

Yes. They should be 165 to fit more people and be at the point many professional trainers are telling people they should be riding at.

Your subs are too expensive for a basic app. The monopoly is unhealthy, time to try a different platform.
