I Tried the Zwift Ride for 30 Days… Here’s the Truth

After 30 days on the Zwift Ride with Wahoo KICKR Core, here’s my honest take. At first, I wasn’t sure about indoor training I’ve always been more of a road rider. But once my coach recommended it, I gave the Zwift Ride a shot.

The convenience is undeniable: no traffic, no stoplights, and no wear and tear on my own bike from sweat. Everything syncs seamlessly with Zwift, and ERG mode keeps every interval locked in. The frame is fully adjustable stem, height, and saddle position which makes dialing in your fit simple. I did have to change out the stock seat since it wasn’t comfortable for me, but after that, this setup became a real training weapon.

The KICKR Core is powerful and stable, holding up even when I pushed over 1,300 watts. For a unit rated up to 1,700 watts, it feels rock solid. Add in the integrated controllers and easy adjustments, and you’ve got a trainer that’s both practical and performance-driven.

Overall, the Zwift Ride has made indoor training something I actually look forward to. If you’re serious about structure, convenience, and saving your road bike from the sweat and grind, this is a strong option worth considering.

And you cannot have the bike without the fit. Check out Eliel Cycling and their new drop. Honestly these kits are serious watt power performance.
