While Zwift has had the full Zwift Ride with KICKR CORE on sale at various times, they’ve never discounted the standalone Zwift Ride Smart Frame since they began selling it back in September 2024.
Today, though, Zwift began selling “blem stock” Zwift Ride frames with what they’re calling a “cosmetic imperfection” on the back of the front leg:
Zwift says the marks are caused by “packaging friction during transit between the factory and the warehouse.” It’s important to note that these frames are new and unused, not returned or refurbished. Zwift says “This cosmetic damage does not affect functionality, durability, or the safety of the frame.”
Since they are sold new/unused, these frames include Zwift’s full-length standard warranty (see details).
Price and Availability
These “cosmetic imperfection” frames are reduced by 25%, bringing the price down to $599.99/£549.99/599,99€ (reduced from $799.99/£749.99/799,99€) + shipping.
The frames are currently available in all three Zwift markets (US, UK, EU), but stock is of course limited. Once they’re gone, they’re gone!
