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!

Important Trainer Compatibility Note
The Zwift Ride Smart Frame needs to be mounted onto a trainer compatible with Zwift’s virtual shifting in order to provide a good user experience. Currently, the following smart trainer models support virtual shifting:
While the cassette on your trainer should work just fine with the Zwift Ride, the units ship with an included adjustable v2 Zwift Cog which you can install on your trainer if you wish.
