Verdict: Zwift has been the go-to for indoor training and is the established market leader for virtual riding and racing. Racing is not the only way to challenge yourself on Zwift, setting a PB up the Alpe du Zwift is just one of the other cycling goals you could have on the platform. The feature that keeps me on Zwift is the game-like nature of it – being competitive is a big part of what gets me on the turbo. There are many events, races and routes available to ride. The best feature of Zwift is the huge number of other users, which gives the app a real sense of community and competitiveness. The app allows users to follow training plans, track power PBs and, when paired with Zwiftpower, see their virtual rankings from races. Long-term user’s view: I started using Zwift during lockdown in 2020 and still use it regularly.
