Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference?

The trainer is identical. The difference is the drivetrain setup supplied with the trainer.

Do I need another cassette?

The cassette version includes an 11-speed cassette. Riders using 8, 9, 10 or 12-speed bikes should purchase the correct cassette separately.

Can I use the Zwift Cog outside Zwift?

Yes. ERG workouts work across most training apps. Virtual shifting during free rides depends on software support.
