Zwift Ride Usage Stats
Zwift hasn’t revealed sales numbers since releasing the Ride back in in June of 2024, so I reached out to see what they’d be willing to share in terms of user stats. While they declined to share precise sales numbers for obvious reasons, they did offer up two fun stats:
- Zwift Ride owners have already logged over 41 million kilometers on Zwift
- Zwift Ride owners find it easier to navigate the platform and as a result award 82% more Ride Ons than the average Zwifter
Zwift Ride Reviews
You can find lots of customer reviews on the Zwift Ride homepage (4.9 stars out of 5), but I wanted to look elsewhere, so I dug through the Zwift subreddit. Here are just a few of those…
“I love mine, it’s been a real game changer for my fitness, just so easy to use.”
“If you’re lazy and want a permanent available option, it’s awesome. If you have multiple riders with different sizes, it’s also great. But the always available is enough for me.”
“Is it worth it? In my case, every single penny. I love it.”
“I only own a heavy mountain bike and it’s a pain to move around if I want to train. With the Zwift ride I can just hop on.”
“I’m a beginner cyclist (started in August). I got the Zwift Ride for winter training since I have zero knowledge on bike maintenance and thought a Zwift Ride would be the best easy option. And it is. It’s quiet enough, easy to assemble or change seats/pedals or your “settings” how far the reach is etc. Would definitely recommend, as you can skip all the hassle a normal bike would require. I absolutely love riding on mine.”
Lastly, I found a helpful review titled “Zwift Ride 500 mile update”. Here’s how it starts:
“I’ve ridden the full Zwift ride set up 500 miles. I’ve used it for free rides, structured workouts on both ERG and Zwift protocol shifting, as well as some racing. May get some hate for this, but this set up is significantly better than my Tacx Neo 2T with carbon road bike frame and Ultegra group.” Read the full post >

Oh comon! I just ordered this yesterday.
For those that are interested. Zwift actually refunded me the 100 euro + the 60 euro “zwiftinsider” discount. Cheapeau to Zwift. I am not sure Eric is getting this affiliate money now tho, so sorry about that.
I’d buy one if you could choose or adjust crank arm length. I’m hoping the next version has that.
I have a CORE and just want the BIKE…any way I can get this, with a discount?
That’s my question since they introduced the Frame ONLY! Hope for the best 🤞🙄🤞
Would love to just be able to buy the frame in Australia…..but we still can’t….and the discount doesn’t apply in Australia either. It’s really disappointing as an Aussie zwifter.
I am thinking of getting one of these, but would really like to know is it possible to turn off the steering as it is something I won’t always want to use? I might be pedalling while watching YouTube, or doing a workout and hanging on for dear life! In either of those situations, I don’t want to have to steer as well as pedal.
You can’t currently turn off steering, but you also don’t need to use it. Just don’t steer, and the game will autosteer for you just fine.
Buy the Click. That would allow you to use virtual shifting, while keeping the Play controllers turned off
WHY? the unit needs the controllers to be on. as Eric says, just DONT use the steering buttons. i rarely use them anyway.
Is this a paid ad for zwift?
No, but it does contain affiliate links to Zwift, as the text explains near the top beneath the big button:

Hi Eric, love your Side. Anytime Zwift Updates popped up on my Companion I’m switching from the Forum to Insider. Easy language… That’s how I found out about this Promotion. As a happy owner of the original HUB, upgraded to HUB One through buying the Click and the Cog, I could say I was up to date until they came out with Smart Frame. I would love to add it to my set up, but the Frame itself is bit PRICEY (no matter how Smart it is 😝), and I don’t remember being on discount, ever… As an INSIDER…, any hope for Promotion on the Frame ONLY?! You can keep my Commission…😆👍 Ride ON ‼️
When is this coming to Asia ?
