The Zwift Ride is a smart bike, but it’s also three separate bits. There’s the frame and the smart handlebar, while the brains of the operation is a long-standing Wahoo Kickr Core turbo trainer.

A turbo trainer like Wahoo's KICKR Snap holds the bike upright and acts as a brake, with resistance either dialled in by you, or changing dynamically to simulate a ride, using apps such as Zwift.

The best tablets, smartphones and computers for running Zwift include Android ... tablet where it's easy to see and access. The Wahoo Kickr Desk offers another option if not.

As is usual with Wahoo smart trainers, be that the Kickr or the Kickr Core, the initial setup was seamless. Zwift, and other apps, find it right away, and it is easily paired with the Wahoo app.
