Zwift has never sold the standalone Ride frame at a discount, aside from a very limited sale on cosmetic-blemish frames last March. But yesterday, Zwift announced a 25% off sale on the standalone Zwift Ride Smart Frame!
The sale lasts through the end of March.
Zwift Ride Frame Basics
This isn’t your typical bike frame. It’s made to work specifically with Zwift’s virtual shifting, which requires virtual shifting controllers (built in the handlebars of the Zwift Ride) as well as a smart trainer compatible with virtual shifting (see list below).
Haven’t tried virtual shifting yet? It’s pretty great: flawless, silent shifting, even under power, with more gearing range than a standard cassette. Read more about Zwift’s virtual shifting >
The Zwift Ride is also easily adjustable, with an integrated tool that lets you quickly change saddle height, bar height, and reach. Zwift says the frame fits riders from 5′ to 6′-6″, and up to 265 lbs.
While the cassette on your trainer should work just fine with the Zwift Ride, frames ship with an adjustable v2 Zwift Cog, which you can install on your trainer if you wish.

Custom Options/Add-Ons
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 pretty particular about which saddle they use. Households with multiple users may want to purchase the Zwift Ride Multi-User Seatpost, so each user can mount their preferred saddle and simply swap out the entire post.
Tablet Holder
Zwifting on in iPad/tablet? The Zwift Ride Tablet Holder mounts securely to the front of the Ride frame, keeping your setup clean and compact.

If I buy a Zwift ride and choose let’s say Wahoo Kickr 2, is there a way to use a different trainer later on? Maybe if I only buy the Zwift cog for the new trainer?
Sorry, I’m completely unknowledgeable about this stuff
Sure, as long as the new trainer supports Zwift virtual shifting, you can use it with the Ride frame.
Sorry Canadians…maybe next time.
I understand the Tacx Neo 3M won’t fit the Zwift Ride
Well… it fits, you just can’t move it fore/aft like the 3M allows, unless you put a roller skate under the Zwift Ride’s front peg…
The 3M lets you lock it so it doesn’t do the fore/aft movement. Then it would work fine with the Zwift Ride.
I thought the Zwift ride does not fit the Neo 3M because the chain stays interferes with the Neo Trainer … Have this issue been changed?
No, you are correct. I had the wrong list included above – removed it for now.
too bad I missed the sale.
