Zwift offers three add-ons for the Ride frame:
Adjustable Crank Arms
The Zwift Ride frame ships with 170 mm cranks, but you can purchase Zwift Ride Adjustable Crank Arms for $99US. These support 5 crank length options: 160 mm, 165 mm, 170 mm, 172.5 mm, and 175 mm.
Multi-User Seatpost
The Zwift Ride frame is easily adjustable for riders of various sizes, but cyclists are often quite particular about which saddle they use. Households with multiple users may want to purchase an extra Zwift Ride Seatpost, so each user can mount their preferred saddle and simply swap out the entire post.
Tablet Holder
Zwifting on an iPad/tablet? The Zwift Ride Tablet Holder mounts securely to the front of the Ride frame, keeping your setup clean and compact.
Wahoo KICKR CORE 2
Already have a bike, but want a reliable and affordable smart trainer? Wahoo’s latest CORE smart trainer builds on the reliable and well-regarded original CORE, adding integrated WiFi, more stability, and race mode for ultra-fast power data. Simply put: you won’t find a more reliable, accurate, and feature-packed trainer at this price.

The adjustable crank arm should come standard with the zwift ride. I am almost 6’1 and use 165mm.
“Simply put: you won’t find a more reliable, accurate, and feature-packed trainer at this price.“
I’d have to disagree wholeheartedly on this comment when compared to the JetBlack Victory smart trainer and question the motivation behind that comment and hence this article.
The Victory is cheaper (significantly) and also now has the ability to direct connect via USB instead of Bluetooth or WiFi. The only difference I can discern between the two besides the price is the flywheel weight (5.4kg vs 4.7kg), meh
In the US, I see the Victory is $449 USD (so fair play, at full price, it’s definitely cheaper), but right now if the Wahoo is only $399, while this sale runs I think Eric has a point. I’ve got a Kickr Core v1, and love it, and I’m definitely a Wahoo fanboy with the bike computer and HR strap too, but I’ve recommended the JetBlack to friends looking to get into the Zwift/smart trainer space. These two trainers definitely seem to be head of the pack of the “premium entry level” space.
You’re free to disagree, Ted.
Personally, after putting thousands of kilometers in on both the CORE 2 and JetBlack Victory, I would absolutely recommend the CORE 2 over the Victory if they’re priced the same. Yes, the Victory now has hardwired USB support – which I love and am currently using. But the Victory, in my experience, has some shortcomings compared to the CORE 2. I find it a bit less accurate, noisy when warming up, with resistance that drops on rare occasions when virtual shifting via WiFi, with an app that isn’t as polished as Wahoo’s, and a support system in the US not as strong as Wahoo’s. (That’s my off-the-cuff laundry list of minor Victory complaints…)
Both amazing trainers for the money, don’t get me wrong. But head-to-head, I’d take the CORE 2.
@DopeZebra
The JetBlack Victory is also on sale in Australia for AU$599 (US$420) unlike this sale for the Kicker Core 2, which in Australia it is selling for AU$750.
@Eric Schlange Interesting re your experience when compared to Shane, Ray, and the numerous “One Year Later” YouTube reviews. I will state that one of my mates did have to return their trainer due to some inconsistent accuracy problems but the replacement item is so far perfect. The problem with the Victory is trying to get one as there doesn’t seem to be much stock available.
Cheers
Quite why a company as big as Zwift doesn’t have provision for Oceania by now is mind boggling.
While that would be nice, if you are in AU Pushys appear to be offering tdf discounts on wahoo/zwift ride.
