Zwift: your complete guide

Zwift is an online cycling game and training platform that enables users to ride, train and compete in a virtual world.

Aimed at eliminating the excruciating boredom of simply sitting on the trainer and staring at the wall, Zwift has exploded in popularity since its release in 2014.

There are a number of different indoor cycling apps available, but Zwift is arguably the most fully featured, and almost certainly the most popular – reports suggest more than half a million people have signed up for an account so far.

More and more features are being added to Zwift, which is mostly great because it brings a lot of value to an already impressive package.

However, it can also make knowing how and where to start quite daunting.

There’s no need to worry though. We’ve done a mountain of research and put together a comprehensive guide to the virtual training and racing platform. Here’s everything you need to know about Zwift.

What is Zwift?

Zwift is an online, interactive training and racing platform. By pedalling on an indoor trainer or bike, you send your avatar around a virtual course. The harder you pedal, the faster you go.

Zwift has 12 worlds (more on these later), and within each you can navigate the roads as you go.

You can ride with thousands of others on Zwift. You can join group rides and races – and even get a draft from other riders – or just join one of the worlds and jump on with those riders when you want to. You can also do structured power-based workouts.

It features a multitude of gamified elements that encourage you to ride longer and harder, with the goal of increasing your fitness. After all, Zwift’s catchphrase is ‘Fun is fast’.

Buy an indoor trainer or smart bike from Zwift

Of course, if that doesn't sound like your cup of tea, there are many other great apps to try, such as Wahoo Systm, TrainerRoad and Rouvy.

How does Zwift work?

Zwift takes the input from your bike – either via a power meter, a smart trainer or just a speed/cadence sensor using ANT+ or Bluetooth – and uses an algorithm to translate your input data into your avatar’s speed on the virtual course.

It takes into account your weight, your power or calculated power, the road or trail gradient and the draft, or lack thereof, from other riders.

You can use Zwift on a computer (PC or Mac), an iPhone, an iPad or an Android smartphone or tablet.

Zwift is also compatible with Apple TV, so if you’ve got one of those you can set yourself up right in front of the TV.
