Wahoo X and the virtual cycling platform RGT may be a long way off the popularity of Zwift, but you have to give Wahoo some credit for rolling out regular updates and pushing the platform ahead at a much greater pace than Zwift.

Correction: I previously stated that RGT Cycling had lost its free tier, but Wahoo have informed me otherwise (though I am not convinced this will last forever).

Zwift bans users for exposing an easy weight cheat but doesn’t seem interested in fixing the problem

Everyone knows that Zwift racing categories are a complete mess due to riders entering categories well below their level of fitness or Full Time Power (FTP).

Powr labs Chest & Optical Armband Hear Rate Monitor Review – Good alternative options vs Wahoo, Polar & Garmin

Anyone half-serious about fitness will know that the optical heart rate monitoring on watches is prone to serious inaccuracies.

The best treadmills for Zwift running in the UK prices from £799

Most runners I know loathe the treadmill, I quite like it and I feel it helps reduce my reoccurring issues with shin splints as I can control the pace and incline better than outdoors. However, when it comes to long runs, going beyond an hour becomes a mental struggle. Zwift has helped a lot for…
