UPDATE October 31, 2023:

Zwift just announced the latest version of their Hub smart trainer, named the Hub One. And we’ve secured one for a giveaway, so one lucky rider will win a new trainer + 1 year of Zwift membership!
Now through October 31st, enter the giveaway below for your chance to win. You can enter once every 24 hours. You may also grab extra entries by referring friends or visiting us on social media.
More About Hub One
Zwift’s Hub One is the same smart trainer as the Zwift Hub Classic (1800W maximum wattage, +-2.5% accuracy, 4.7kg flywheel) but ships with the new Zwift Cog instead of a standard cassette plus the handle-bar mounted Zwift Click to enable virtual shifting. Both the Hub One and Hub Classic are priced at $599/€599/£549 and include one year of Zwift membership.
Why the Cog and Click? Because the Hub One uses virtual shifting. So instead of your chain physically jumping between cogs on your rear cassette as you click your bike’s shifters, virtual shifts are handled by the trainer altering resistance whenever you shift using Zwift Click or Zwift Play.
Smart bikes have used virtual shifting for years due to its advantages, including reduced drivetrain wear, perfect silence, and the ability to shift under load. Hub One is compatible with almost any 8-12 speed bike, too, so you can swap bikes without swapping cassettes or adjusting your shifting.
Learn more about the Zwift Hub One by reading our detailed post, which includes a full review.

So EU means that Norway is not eligible for this contest?
Unfortunately, that is correct. We would have loved to have everyone in the world eligible for this, but we can only support the locations Zwift currently ships to.
https://zwiftinsider.com?rpid=1&rpr=302 – LanteRN, if you want to try and enter through this link I’d appreciate it. 😉
Thanks for the tip but I’m not in an eligible country for this competition due to the fact that Zwift isn’t shipping to anything outside of the US it appears to me in their webshop. Would like to get the Play controllers but I’m not going to bother with paying for a forwarding adress service to get them 🙁
Apologies – that was a typo from earlier testing. Rules now updated to says “PROMOTION DESCRIPTION: The Zwift Hub Smart Trainer Giveaway (‘Sweepstakes’) begins on 2023-10-12, 5am PDT and ends on 2023-10-31 at 8am PDT (the ‘Promotion Period’).”
Should be able to sign in with your name and email above, then click the various options to register one or more entries. Lots of folks already have!
I’ve done it, now, but the sign in button was definitely not there, earlier today.
Still puzzling to me why Zwift won’t make their hardware available to Canadians? What did we do to piss off Eric Min?
Too many forest fires.
Haha!
They shut down shipping during the worst of the supply chain issues during COVID, then never brought it back out of sheer laziness. Makes me wonder how much they actually value their customers north of the border (… and in Aus, NZ, etc).
Yep, as a Canadian I feel aggrieved too. This stuff scores an own goal and although probably not intended can be seen as national profiling. It’s easy to ship across borders, come on Zwift, sort this out please.
Apologies for the confusion on that. It’s just for sharing the winner’s details with Zwift. Just updated the policy for clarity:
“PRIVACY: Any personal information supplied by you will be subject to Zwift Insider’s privacy policy posted on at https://zwiftinsider.com/privacy/. By entering the Sweepstakes, Winner(s) grant Zwift Insider permission to share Winner(s) email address and any other personally identifiable information with the Sponsor for the purpose of furnishing the prize(s).”
Norhing to donwith the giveaway. But what fan is that on the photo in the livingroom?
That’s JetBlack’s new fan! Review coming soon, I’ve got one sitting next to me…
And once again Canada is not eligible.
Sorry man – not my choice! We’ll be doing more giveaways in the coming weeks that are open to Canada.
How could they possibly ship to us? It’s not like there’s every international shipping company operating in the country. It’s not like we’re paying subscribers to the Zwift platform.
What a joke.
found it.
You can’t ship to Canada???
Thank goodness for Wahoo.
Zwift doesn’t ship to Canada, and they’re the sponsors of this drawing. We’ll be hosting other giveaways open to Canada in the very near future!
Chances of the Zwift Cog being released for a standard cassette body? Would really like my bike to be silent and not have to buy a new cassette that i’ve been putting off for a few years.
No idea. But why not buy a cheap new cassette instead? You can do virtual shifting with a full cassette, and in fact, I’ve found that using my cassette is quieter than using the Cog.
Are you just using the Zwift play controllers for virtual shifting?
Yes, Mike. I have the Click too, for testing, but the Play and a normal cassette is my everyday setup.
Do you think that the zwift hub with a normal cassette is noisier than a tacx neo2 ?
I would say they’re equally quiet. Both very quiet setups!
Keep developing and adapting, that’s what keeps Zwift ahead of the others
Can we enter just to win the Zwift membership? That doesn’t require shipping anywhere.
Unfortunately no.
Zwift can’t ship a free promo code in an email to you if you’re in Canada. Impossible.
You can enter and if you win the hub you can have the membership and give me the hub 😉
Love the idea. Great upgrade! Thanks
Although the chances of winning this are tiny, Zwift having a giveaway that is not available to their entire membership is unfair and disrespectful. Don’t have the giveaway at all if it is only available to certain parts of the world. For that matter, why can’t Zwift ship to places other than the US, UK and EU?
Agreed. Someone in their marketing dept should give their head a shake. Ridiculous.
I took would love to hear the actual reason why they can’t ship to Canada while they ship to USA. Perhaps a quick look at a map might give them more perspective.
Why does it seems like you have to vote 24h for next daily vote?? Shouldnt it just reset at the same time every day??
Because that’s how the WordPress plugin works. I agree it’s a bit goofy, but I don’t see an easy way to change it! 🙄
Thanks for being helpful to your Canadian Zwifters!
The fact that Zwift isn’t shipping to Norway pisses me off, and they are loosing money on it aswell, this is pure laziness on zwifts part and nothing more.
Will you guys and girls be doing a Zwift climb in the near future. Thanks for all you do on Zwift by the way..
Looking forward to the fan review
Great update to the current technology. But, I got me a HUB Classic last year, with 8-speed cassette. Will the Cog be compatible with it, as well as the ZWIFT Click and/or ZWIFT Play?!
Sure, you can buy the Cog and put it on your Hub. My advice, though, would be to buy the Play controllers instead. You’ll get virtual shifting (with your existing cassette) plus all the Play controller goodness.
This looks great!!!
Exactly where do we click to enter? I tried all of the orange links above, none of them is for entering. ???
So I guess South Africa can’t enter either? Don’t agree with this at all. What about Australia,NZ and other S Hemisphere countries? Not cool
I have the Elite Sterzo Smart block for steering, which I prefer to using buttons. Will the Zwift Play interfere with my Sterzo when configuring my steering controller in the settings?
Unfortunately yes. Zwift will complain if you try to connect both devices at once, saying to disconnect one if you want to use the other.
Hey Alan, good news! Swift just pushed an update that lets you use both the Sterzo and Play controllers at the same time. You can steer with both at the same time! I just tried it out to confirm it’s working. Only issue I see so far is that braking is disabled with the Play controllers when the Sterzo is connected. That seems a bit off, but a minor issue for now.
I would love to hear the actual reason why they can’t ship to Canada while they ship to USA. Perhaps a quick look at a map might give them more perspective
I would like that zwift it run in linux please
I may have to miss an entry, it’s getting too late at night to enter😂
Ah, I’ve been having login problems on my phone. Just swapped to the laptop, no more issues👍
I was able to enter four times, but over the last several days the Hub giveaway button does not appear on this page [//zwiftinsider.com/giveaway/]. What gives?
Not sure – it’s working fine for me. I just clicked to do my daily entry… got the receipt email as well.
I tried two different browsers (Edge and Chrome), and deleted all the cookies and as much of the history as I could from both before trying again. Naturally, because I deleted all the cookies it now says I have zero entries (but of course the original four will be retained on your servers, associated with my email address). Also, visited zwiftinsider.com/hub-one-release/, which produces a popup for the giveaway, but clicking on the popup gave the same result, presumably because it’s no more than a basic link to the giveaway page. Will try again later from a different computer and IP address.
Thanks for setting up this giveaway!
Fingers Crossed lol
Impossible to enter competition Predictably.
Can The Zwift hub classic be updated to the Zwift hub one cog and click?
Sure, you just need the buy the Cog + Click upgrade kit: https://zwiftinc.sjv.io/jrDYX0
This trainer is now campy compatible without any changes?
Wah! Us Canadians feel like second class members. Our subscriptions rates should reflect this!
Will this replace my Tacx Neo 2T? I’ve the Zwift Play controllers and Virtual Shifting is something I have to try. My Tacx has some issues, so it would be a next level replacement.
When will the winners be announced?
Within a week of the giveaway ending. End it ends today (Oct 31).
Looks like it has ended.
A winner has been drawn! See note at the top of the page…
🤘Congrats!
Congratulations, Andrew K! 🙂
