This was a brilliant move on Zwift's part. When I started, I was on a core and quickly wore out my entire drivetrain. After that, I upgraded to a Neo bike, which was $3400. As we know, they are not all that reliable - I had 1 replaced and my current bike is developing issues after 4 years and is out of warranty. Now I can just drop $1400 on this instead of $3400+ on a new neo bike or wahoo bike. Yeah, probably won't feel as premium, but watts are watts, and this looks cool. As an aside, I can't believe people complain about the cost of Zwift. If it weren't for Zwift, I'd be at least 40lbs heavier, no doubt.
Wishfull thinking but I really hope they do something for MTB/XC flat bar use with the controllers, that's what stopping me pulling the trigger on upgrading my spinbike. Only brand to do it so far (as an add on) was Stages
I have a zwift bike myself and after a couple of weeks I had pain in my calves and achilles heel. The manual stated the saddle should be at certain height, but it was way too high. Did you follow their manual? I assume not.
Manual does not state any setting. It just recommends/guide as a starting point. Then of course ones needs to tune it for ones specific body and preference, like with all bikes

Now that is a setup! Happy zwift season!
Thank you, ordered a Ride frame with your code
That is awesome thank you and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

That would be cool if they offered a flat bar option. I would be interested in that for sure.

I did for a little then I fine tuned it.

Do you even use the drops for zwift?
I do now 😊
Always use drops for sprinting
I'd love to move to the Ride, but the fixed crank length is a deal-breaker for someone with limited knee flexion on one leg. A real shame...
From what I understand it is a square taper. You might be able to change it out. I might look into trying it for a video.
