Good round-up. I love mine too. I think it's a valuable addition to the virtual cycling 'experience.' From a training perspective, it's even more useful as it allows for muscular development under conditions of climbing and descending - strength endurance hill climb intervals can be done with the rider positioned (relative to the bars, seat and BB) exactly as they would be on a climb/descent. Given that, I'd have to disagree with you on removing the 'manual' option - I use it regularly during workouts. Cheers from Down Under :)
Thanks for making this review. I have mine since Feb 2020 and riden about 14000km. I am glad I made the financial effort to buy. No regret. However, I would say to new starter, if they are not sure and considering the cost, to start without and add it later.
I share most of your pros and cons. However, regarding the stability I think this is due to how you position it at rest. The unit has to pivot somewhere so if at 0° it is not in the ideal position on the floor, yes you may end up with it on the tip of the "toes" as you showed us. This said, it is part of the fun and as on a bike with wheels you still have to be careful :)
Regarding the manual option. It is not that often I finish a ride which finishes with 20° incline. So it does not bother me and when I start a new ride it automatically adjust at the start. However, at the beginning I did forget every now and then to switch it to auto and then thought the climb did not work anymore until I realised. Now it is just an habit.
This said, instead of removing the manual option, I would not have it as the default setting (or let the user decide what the default setting is). as Andy King said. I also use the manual option for different type of workouts.
Anyway, thanks a lot for sharing your experience and making a video (of good quality video and audio, and the effort made to look at the camera). Well done. Looking forward to more of your videos.
Really appreciate the feedback! Good points on the manual settings.
The max ascent is 20% and max descent is -10%, but I’ve never experienced the Climb hit the max or minimum height when it’s being controlled by Zwift. I have to use the control manually to reach the max and min heights. Has that been the same with you?
Thanks for the good review. If I get the wahoo turbo desk will it have enough clearance?
Definitely. I keep the desk clear of my handlebars otherwise if it’s too close it may hit the underside of your wahoo desk.
I have trouble with it moving during all out sprint. It's actually tipped over on me.
Especially on those climb finishes!
No. Describe how 0% is different than eg 11%
Does it really feel like climbing on a real bike? Does your heart rate automatically go up?
Ugh
