Looking to level up your indoor cycling experience? Zwift Ready takes the guesswork out of setting up, making it simpler, faster, and more efficient—whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned Zwifter. With Zwift Ready-certified trainers, you can trust your gear to be fully compatible with Zwift’s hardware and virtual shifting features, so all you need to do is ride.
A Zwift Ready trainer is a smart trainer that comes pre-installed with Zwift Cog and Click and unlocks virtual shifting giving you the best Zwift experience. This mark gives you peace of mind that your trainer will work seamlessly with Zwift, whether you’re using the Zwift’s Ride Smart Frame or your own bike.
A Zwift Ready trainer makes it easier to get started on Zwift. Look for the Zwift Ready logo when purchasing a trainer, and rest assured that your equipment will have you up and riding in no time.
We designed Zwift Ready with three core benefits in mind: simplicity, a better riding experience, and upgradability. Here’s how Zwift Ready helps you:
Wondering if your bike will work with a Zwift Ready trainer? Compatibility is straightforward. The Zwift Cog works with most bikes that have 8 to 12 speeds on their rear cassette. To check, simply count the sprockets on your rear cassette—if there are between 8-12 speeds, you’re likely ready to go.
The second thing to check is your bike’s dropout width—the distance between the frame parts where the rear wheel attaches. Zwift Ready trainers support the standard 142mm and 148mm dropout widths, which cover most modern bikes. You can measure this space with a tape measure to ensure compatibility.
As of now (February 2025), there are seven Zwift Ready trainers available. These include:
Each trainer come with Zwift Cog pre-installed and are all certified Zwift Ready, meaning they will work with Zwift’s features out of the box and are ready for any future upgrades.
Zwift Ready is all about simplifying your indoor cycling experience. Whether you’re new to Zwift or looking to upgrade, Zwift Ready trainers ensure that your setup is not only easy but also designed for the best possible experience on Zwift. By providing seamless compatibility with Zwift hardware and virtual shifting, Zwift Ready trainers give you the confidence to ride at your best—without the technical hassle.
With Zwift Ready, you’re not just purchasing a trainer; you’re investing in a smarter, more connected indoor cycling experience that grows with you. Choose a Zwift Ready trainer and get started on the next level of indoor cycling.
