    “Zwift’s Big Weekend” Events Announced for October 3-6

    Today, Zwift posted a set of rides for the coming weekend (October 3-6) as part of an event dubbed “Zwift’s Big Weekend.” It’s Zwift’s birthday celebration – 11 years old this fall – and it’s “Our celebration of everything Zwift—pure energy, on and off the bike.”

    There are actually two pieces to this weekend. The first is a set of fun banded rides led by pros and ambassadors, which I’ve detailed below. But the second piece is an unprecedented hardware sale featuring the biggest discount we’ve ever seen on the full Zwift Ride setup, which now includes Wahoo’s latest trainer, the feature-packed KICKR CORE 2.

    Save on Zwift Ride + KICKR CORE 2

    With a price well below other smart bikes, the Zwift Ride is already the best deal around for anyone looking for a turnkey Zwift setup. But this weekend, riders can pick up the Zwift Ride + Wahoo KICKR CORE 2 package for just $999.99/€999.99/£999.99. That’s a huge discount off the regular price, especially for Zwifters in the US:

    • US $999.99 / $300 discount Shop Now >
    • EU €999.99 / €200 discount Shop Now >
    • UK £999.99 / £100 discount Shop Now >

    If you aren’t looking for a full Zwift Ride setup, but would love a trainer upgrade, Zwift is running a second promo on the new Wahoo KICKR CORE 2. This trainer, released less than a month ago, improves on the highly popular KICKR CORE by adding Wi-Fi connectivity, race mode, Bluetooth bridging, and more.

    Purchase the CORE 2 from Zwift and you’ll get a free Wahoo TRACKR Heart Rate Monitor ($99.99/€89.99/£79.99 retail) thrown in!

    • US $549.99 Shop Now >
    • EU €549.99 Shop Now >
    • UK £499.99 Shop Now >

    Note: Zwift says, “During checkout the TRACKR will appear as a free add-on option,” so be sure to add it to your cart during the checkout process.
