Important Update
We’ve released new speed test data in the form of helpful charts. Here are the links:
Frame Speed Tests
TT Frame Speed Tests
Wheel Speed Tests
View data on Google sheets here >
The data above is for lap times ridden in isolation (no draft/veering effects) at constant wattage on various Zwift courses.
HINTS:
- Use the “Showdown” filter in the Google sheet if you just want to see which setups are the fastest
- Use filters and column sorting on to narrow your dataset as desired
- To see how differences in weight, watts, and height effect lap times, first filter by “32mm carbon” wheels on the Richmond data, then short by the parameter you want to test
