Sale Announced: 25% Off Zwift Ride Smart Frame

Zwift has never sold the standalone Ride frame at a discount, aside from a very limited sale on cosmetic-blemish frames last March. But yesterday, Zwift announced a 25% off sale on the standalone Zwift Ride Smart Frame!

The sale lasts through the end of March.

Zwift Ride Frame Basics

This isn’t your typical bike frame. It’s made to work specifically with Zwift’s virtual shifting, which requires virtual shifting controllers (built in the handlebars of the Zwift Ride) as well as a smart trainer compatible with virtual shifting (see list below).

Haven’t tried virtual shifting yet? It’s pretty great: flawless, silent shifting, even under power, with more gearing range than a standard cassette. Read more about Zwift’s virtual shifting >

The Zwift Ride is also easily adjustable, with an integrated tool that lets you quickly change saddle height, bar height, and reach. Zwift says the frame fits riders from 5′ to 6′-6″, and up to 265 lbs.

While the cassette on your trainer should work just fine with the Zwift Ride, frames ship with an adjustable v2 Zwift Cog, which you can install on your trainer if you wish.

Custom Options/Add-Ons

Zwift offers three add-ons for the Ride frame:

Adjustable Crank Arms

The Zwift Ride frame ships with 170 mm cranks, but you can purchase Zwift Ride Adjustable Crank Arms for $99US. These support 5 crank length options: 160 mm, 165 mm, 170 mm, 172.5 mm, and 175 mm.

Multi-User Seatpost

The Zwift Ride frame is easily adjustable for riders of various sizes, but cyclists are often pretty particular about which saddle they use. Households with multiple users may want to purchase the Zwift Ride Multi-User Seatpost, so each user can mount their preferred saddle and simply swap out the entire post.

Tablet Holder

Zwifting on in iPad/tablet? The Zwift Ride Tablet Holder mounts securely to the front of the Ride frame, keeping your setup clean and compact.

Study Finds AI May Be Homogenizing Human Thought And Expression
New research is suggesting that while generative AI is being developed as a tool to expand human creativity, it is instead acting as an engine for cultural homogenization. By funneling vast amounts of diverse human data through standardized mathematical models, AI is reportedly creating a feedback loop that narrows the spectrum of human expression
