Very cool to see. My wife and I have been using the same Zwift Hub for both of our bikes, but my bike is an 11-speed, hers a 10, and we bought the hub with the 10-speed cassette about a month ago. I haven't wanted to adjust my derailleur every time I throw mine on or worry about changing a cassette, so I usually just deal with the overall poor shifting. This seems like a good solution for both of us, and especially if you can buy the upgrade kit for only an additional $60. I guess at least we'll have an spare 10-speed cassette around if we ever need it haha.
Has Zwift actually opened up the Bluetooth protocol that the Click and Play controllers use to tell Zwift to shift up and down (and in the case of the Play tell it to do other things like steer and brake or Power Up), so that third parties can make and sell their own controllers or add virtual shifting (and these other virtual features) to their virtual cycling platforms? And if so is on a licensing basis or open source? If it's open source then I could probably build such a controller in an afternoon from parts that I already have. Of course other platforms could just as easily add virtual shifting (steering, braking, etc.) to their apps, but it makes sense to settle on a single protocol standard so people won't have to buy multiple sets of controllers for each platform they use, and since Zwift is the first to do this it makes sense that its protocol is the one adopted, for now at least. Firmware can always be updated later on but it's probably better to start out with a common standard than have competing ones that just confuse people and keep them from adopting these technologies for fear of being left stranded with the wrong standard.
This awesome. I just ordered the upgrade box. I was not able to use the complete range of gears but didn’t want to adjust it because I have to adjust my gears every time I ride outside. This will be a great solution for me and a very comfortable one ☝🏻👌🏻
The lama just did a tear down... Assuming replacement sprockets are easy to get it's very easy. I think the supplied sprocket has a built in spacer which would need to be replicated. BMX sprockets might fit. Luckily the alignment doesn't have to be perfect as there are no other sprockets to rub against.
This has thrown an unexpected wrench into my indoor training plans. Currently I have a Tacx Neo Gen 1 with an old bike on it - the Neo is great but the bike is falling apart, it’s good for ERG rides and not much else these days. Even a basic 10 speed bike is pretty expensive these days so I thought I might go all in on a Kickr Bike but this gives me a different (and much cheaper) option of selling my Neo and continuing with my old bike on the Zwift trainer with this cog for very little money. It’s really tempting compared to spending 3k on the Kickr 🤔
I was just talking about this with a buddy the other day... wouldn't it be nice to have a singlespeed, but you couldn't use it in freeride mode. I have to imagine Wahoo will have some answer to this in the future... hopefully via software and a small remote!
I like it! But I'll wait a bit until I see how the reviews roll in. Until then, I'll stick with the cassette as it's been working fine. Thanks for the review!
What if you wanted to use this for a Training Peaks scheduled training workout or your own Interval workout? Does the erg mode just work via your head unit, phone, or synced computer? I'm only familiar with dumb trainers and this looks sweet to upgrade to. Thanks for the great review!
In the discription of Zwift Hub One stands its compatible for 8-12 Cassette. Do you think it is also possible with a 7 time Shimano Cassette to work with? I dont want to buy a complete new bike for a trainer. Thank you.
@@SmartBikeTrainers First of all thank you very much taking time to give me an answer to that question. Do you think i should Take the risk and try this? I feel Like there is a Chance, im using a Standart ~130mm quick Release on this Bike so on this Side this is Not unice.
Hello. Thank you for the review. I have a question that I can't find an answer to anywhere: What if I buy the Zwift HUB One and at some point I want to put a standard cassette? Do I need to buy a hub body, or I can use the hub body that comes with the HUB One and just remove the single cog with the plastic cones from it?
Great question! I don't think you can use the hub from the Cog and you'll need to get a cassette hub body. But that's a great question for Zwift support to help clear things up for you 👍
Notice your power data updates extremely quickly. Knew higher resolution was something Wahoo did with the Ethernet adaptor but how is this possible on the Zwift hub?
Am I right by thinking this will effectively turn my 1x gravel bike into a 2x road bike on zwift? That would be pretty neat. What gear ratio does this give you? 52/11?
From bikeradar: Zwift says the Hub’s virtual drivetrain has 24 discrete gears, simulating a gear ratio range from 0.75 to 5.49. That’s roughly equivalent to a 30-tooth chainring paired with a 40t cassette sprocket at the lowest end, all the way up to a monstrous 55x10t gear at the high end.
So you get 24 gears no matter what speed your bike is? My bike is a 16 speed (8 gear cassete in the back, and two chain rings in the front). So I would be getting more available speeds with this? Do you ever need to shift your gears in the front, or do you just keep it on the small ring? FYI - Zwift customer service is great. I bought the zwift hub classic before all this was available. Because I'm still in my 30 day return window they are sending me the upgrade kit free!
I purchased an 11 speed Zwift Hub in September and then this comes out! Perfect for swapping between my 11 and 12 speed bikes. I bought the upgrade kit on Wednesday, but am now asking if I can have a refund as I'm also within my 30 day return window.
@@benevamalc I'm sure they will. They gave me the option of getting the upgrade free or refunding me 50 bucks off my trainer to buy the upgrade kit. I'm sure they will refund you. If anything you could request a return for your trainer and the upgrade kit, and than buy the new one but hopefully it doesn't come to that. Sounds like a hassle. Me new upgrade kit comes tomorrow. Just reach out to Zwift support. I did it in a email and I got a response within a hour or so. I'm more interested in this for other reasons than swapping bike. Using virtual shifting will be less wear and tear on your own bike. Your chain won't wear out as fast, your shifting cables will be preserved as you won't be using them, and no need to wear out casssetes faster. Lots of benefits. I bike/zwift soo much that my shifting cables tend to break on me once a year. I'm hoping this will help with that.
@@adamzinnecker2141 I’ve just set mine up, but I can’t get my MacBook to connect to the shifter device or recognise I’ve got a hub connected. Isn’t there a calibration process to go through too? Confused and frustrated!
@@adamzinnecker2141 I’m keen to do the switch for the same reasons as you! I’ve not had a full on winter of turbo training but need to in preparation for an Ironman next year.
quick question. I have a tacx neo with zwift controllers. does zwift plan on releasing similar functionality for the different hardware? that would be neat.
Zwift is saying they plan on opening the protocols to support other hardware manufacturers. I have no timeline and I don’t see this happening in the near future.
@@laurenzw.5877 You will need to use Zwift along withe the Zwift Hub and Cog or (controllers) to use virtual shifting. Garmin will only record your ride no gear info.
I'm very intrigued but is the Zwift Hub getting shipped with as the 'Hub One' still compatible with a normal cassette if you chose to go that route in the future? I guess it does if you can buy the cog separately?
Yes, mine is basically the original Hub with the Cog installed. When you buy, you can choose between the hub classic or the new hub one. Both are selling for the same $599 price.
Difficulty setting only effects the resistance based on gradient. So if you do a 10% climb, it's going to feel like a 5% climb, that doesn't mean you can climb faster, as the power is still going to reflect your speed. With virtual shifting, nothing changes, it's just that gears are handled by zwift. An example 10% climb; With virtual shifting, you can keep a steady cadence while climbing in 10th virtual gear at 50% trainer difficulty. The same could be achieved in 5th gear at 100% trainer difficulty. Trainer difficulty is mostly there if there are 10%+ climbs and your original bike had gear ratios that you couldn't physically handle.
You might need to double check but I think Manon said on the GCN presentation video of the Hub that you needed to have a rear deraillleur for tension. But again, double check to be sure.
Just to elaborate on my original response. You will need to check if your bike physically fit on the trainer. Some fixed speed bikes have narrower dropouts so it will not physically fit. Also, like the previous commenter said, you might need a chain tensioner. So, I would definitely check with Zwift support on this.
Depends on your bike and if it can be actually mounted on a trainer. Most 7 speed bikes sold nowadays come with a solid axle and a screw-on cassette meaning they physically cannot be mounted to a trainer.
sorry just a question: I didn't understand if with the zwift controllers on a TACX trained you can have the virtual shifting too or not, I can't find this information! Thanks!
As far as virtual shifting, Zwift Play is compatible with the Zwift Hub or Hub One. However, you can use the Zwift play on its own to control other aspect of the Zwift game like steering, some navigation and some other aspects of the game. Virtual Shifting is only compatible with Zwift Hub.
@@stuartmisfeldt3068Sorry I read your question wrong. I would reach out to Zwift support for Ergos compatibility as I dont have those type of shifters. The Zwift Play wraps around the handlebars and can be adjusted to fit a wide range of handlebars. Just looking at pics of Campagnolo ergos, I don’t see why they wouldn’t fit but would definitely check with Zwift.

I don’t really understand how their single gear “cassette” will work with any bike and any chain. Doesn’t the chain and cassette that the bike comes with matter?
The cassette clearly doesn’t matter because you take your rear wheel off before using direct-drive trainers. The chain doesn’t matter because all bicycle chains have the same 0.5” pin pitch. In a singlespeed setup, the width of the chain won’t matter. If a cog is narrow enough to mesh with a 12-speed chain, it will have no issue meshing with an 8-speed chain.
The space between the teeth is the same regardless of chain, the width of a chain changes from 8 all the way 12, so a 12 speed chain would work… poorly yes… but work on a 8 spd cassette as it’s thinner than a 8 spd chain but a 8 chain won’t work on a 12 spd cassette as it’s too wide
Better to just run a winter crankset with a 34T and a chain tensioner.... What chainline have they specified??? It's not really like real life having a single 24 speed cassette though is it and how will it mimic cresting a hill and going from say front chainring small to large and dumping 4 or 5 cogs at the back in a second or two?? Looks good but not as brilliant an idea as my wobbly, handlebar mounted Wahoo Gel Holder that cost £45 in February....
Depends on your bike and if it can be actually mounted on a trainer. Most 7 speed bikes sold nowadays come with a solid axle and a screw-on cassette meaning they physically cannot be mounted to a trainer.
Honestly, you seem to be biased toward Zwift, so it’s difficult, to trust your reviews, when it comes to virtual cycling apps, and I think the same will occur as Zwift gets in to indoor hardware.
The incompatibility with other platforms is quickly buried in a short sentence, but it is obviously a major issue and a deciding factor in the choice between Classic and Hub One.
Omg that is amazing. I start check how I can switch to mtb 12 speed and if I need buy some begginer road bike for zwift and indoor training. And know I don't need that. Only if I want some road bike for roads. Thanks for info. You are amazing! 👍🦾

Virtual shifting works with a normal casette and the Zwift Play. So the Cog is nothing but a gear with some plastic guards?

Yeah it's got 10Hz now only via Bluetooth (months after the JetBlack Volt did)...
Can I still use a cassette instead of the cog if I do want to use software other zwift? Or do I have to buy yhe classic onstead of the one then?
You can simply switch the cog with a cassette. You just need to have a cassette body.
for a non-techie, is that screen on a large computer monitor or a flat screen TV ? Seems half the fun of using this is virtual riding with friends.
It’s a computer monitor
Noise? Is it quieter than the Wahoo Kickr?
It’s pretty quiet. He only noise I hear is from my chain.
And the Chain sound is way louder than with a normal cassette cause of this plastic ring

Locking the shifting to Zwift only is a big no for me. Can’t see why Wahoo or other manufacturers can’t do this which works in all ecosystems.
You could always switch to cassette if need be. Z swift would have to tune it to each software with this system
The wahoo rollr should compete directly with this. No fuss. Switch bikes. Lower the price and include a power meter. Wishful thinking?
This is outstanding.
How does the Difficulty setting work with this?
