Great overview thank you!
how about those kickr v5 or before? Really hope zwift able to make one compatible for that.
Good tips but some of them don’t really work in Cat A unfortunately
I bought this and has it delivered Friday June 28th, 2024. Set up was easy, Pairing to Zwift was easy. It rides well and does exactly what you want and expect. Hopefully it lasts a long time.
That’s awesome. Thanks for sharing your experience 🙏🏼
Hi what do you think about elite Direto trainer?
Do you think they will release their next frame to fit the Neo 2T?
Zwift hasn’t released any details on which trainers will be compatible with the Zwift frame yet.
This video needs a refresh. However, the basics are there and are very useful. Still no pace bot for Alpe du Zwift!
How about Garmin indoor cycling and tacx? I heard that all the contents of tacx will be transferred to garmin app. Will it be helpful for garmin to be more competitive compared to other apps?
Garmin Tacx is limited to Tacx trainers only
Is the Virtufit Etappe 2.0 also compatibel with MyWhoosh? Or is the Zycle Zdrive the cheapest option when wanting a quiet indoor bike (magnetic resistance and V-belt)?
Solid overview Tariq. Coros have put themselves (and a few reviewers) under.a LOT of pressure by saying things will be fixed when the unit launches. When the DURA failed to alert for an approaching vehicle, I was tempted to throw it straight in the bin. Sending out devices in a very unfinished state is one thing (and one thing they only really reminded me of when I was feeding back to them it wasn't working/ready), but being out there in traffic testing a unit that won't alert when there is a connected radar device - straight up irresponsible. They've used the media as their testing pool... which a lot of companies do. There's just something that doesn't feel right about how Coros have gone about it. It has been a messy release.
I think it was super smart to wait a few extra days before posting your review instead of rushing out a review (like mine 😬). It's also missing a Climber feature and Strava segments. Those COROS devs have a lot of work to do. Thanks for making this video! Excellent as always!
Your review was excellent Matt as well. The Dura has a lot of potential and I have no doubt it will be a win eventually after they address some of these issues. Particularly the Varia radar problems. For now, we will wait to see their updates :)
Tariq, Firstly, I always appreciate your presentation style and perspective! Sometimes other reviews have a lot of data, but don't give me a real sense of what it's like to use (e.g., scroll wheel, what 74k Lux really means, etc.). On battery life + solar, I am hoping that Coros will use this advantage to deliver significantly improved battery health / lifespan. Users who mostly do daylight rides could choose default battery charge thresholds that stop charging the battery at 60%. This is similar to how charging threshold works now on many laptop PCs. The solar source could make discharge depth quite small, further extending battery lifespan. Last year I had to throw away a 3yr-old bike computer that was otherwise in excellent condition, except that its battery was worn out and non-replaceable 😞
If solar charging was implemented correctly, it should not affect battery health. Solar charging provides slower, charging speed, more gradual charge compared to wall chargers and can help extend the intervals between conventional charging cycles. It remains to be seen how this will impact the Dura’s battery health. Glad you enjoyed my review and thank for watching 🙏🏼
@@SmartBikeTrainersGood point about inherently slower charge rates of solar - I try to charge using USB 2.0 ports (2.5W). Regardless of charge rate/source, keeping Li-ion battery full all the time really hurts health/longevity. I hope the Dura design will enable charge level limits to preserve battery health, just like many laptops/cars/smartphones.
Is that the new Zwift bike I see in the background?! Looking forward to your review on that!
Ask and you shall receive 😁 The All-New Zwift Ride: Is This the Best Indoor Cycling Setup? ua-cam.com/video/1tJMtpGWYIk/v-deo.html
@@SmartBikeTrainers Wait. What. How did I miss that!
I have a the roller kickr but no power meter can I still do zwift rides with this connection? maybe with a wahoo cadence reader?
This isn’t going to change your experience with the ROLLR if you don’t have a power meter.
@@SmartBikeTrainers so we can still connect and ride on swift without them?
I would buy it right away if it had a magnetic resistance and V-belt. I am afraid it still makes to much noise riding it next tot the room where my 3 years old son sleeps. Doubting to buy this or the Virtufit Etappe 2.0 (wich means dropping out of automatic resistance by Zwift). Any thoughts on this?
I doubt it will be loud enough for him to hear it. Your fan - if you use one - will be much louder than the bike.
@@SmartBikeTrainers Thanks for the comment. I don't have any setup yet, want to start cycling. Still doubting what to do... 🙈🤔
It looks like £20 of plastic
Regarding using the Zwift Ride sometimes without Zwift -- anyone know how many RESISTANCE mode levels you set (should be same as Wahoo Kicker Core since same device)? They show 0-100% but by what increments? Someone at Wahoo told me 5% increments so 20 levels, but I thought I saw a plus/minus 1% control in a Wahoo app example?
Would it be compatible with Suito? I have Suito Elite. Or the Kickr is worth buying because it is way better, even though I have the Suito?
It’s currently only compatible with the Kickr. No word if Suito is going to be compatible other than Zwift saying they have been working on future compatibility with other trainers.
I would just use an old bike and keep it on the trainer
People: don't buy anything from PELOTON! They are ruining society just to make more money.
I would love to buy this but i have one problem. Me personally i sweat balls like crazy while indoorcycling and the handles having electronics might cause problems :(
Hi can you do a best bang to buck build for a gaming PC in mid 2024 for the ULTRA setting in Zwift please? Thanks
Is posdible to add cadence to garmin training screen?// Workout mode
this is great for me, i use it to pace myself during cross country meets. helps a lot
i want and think it opens up opportunity for those that are not ready to dop 3times as much for a smart bike. maybe others will follow suit buy building dedicated frames for smart trainer.
I returned one of these and would return my second if I could. This light is plainly not ready for the main stage. I'll stick to my varia. My carback doesn't even detect half of the cars behind me while the varia never misses. Trek this is a very sad light/radar.
MyWhoosh is absolute garbage. My computer is capable of rendering 4k yet MyWhoosh defaluts to what looks like 480p every time I start it up - regardless of what I have my graphics set to. If I then reset it above this default value it crashes. Its physics engine is also rubbish. I go up a hill - I slow down - as expected. It then levels out - my speed does not change - I stop pedalling and suddenly I am doing 35kph. Every sign in every country is in Arabic - seriously - is there an agenda here?
Can you make video about computers bike and what is the best one under 400$. Thanks
You mention in the video that when syncing workouts to Strava, cadence and power don’t sync in the beta version - since we are way past that did they fix that or is that still the way it works? I just got powerlink pedals and the first workout didn’t sync power to Strava. I did get cadence to sync - just wondering if this is the way it works or if I’m doing something wrong. I’ve tried reaching out to Strava support, but doesn’t seem helpful. Thanks
To my knowledge, Strava is still not pulling everything from Apple Watch. The only thing it’s pulling is distance and HR. I don’t even see cadence.
@@SmartBikeTrainers so what is the workaround? Record the workout in wahoofitness. Can my Apple Watch hook up to wahoo fitness app so heart rate is available?
I am over 6ft 6 inches tall. I hope Zwift will come out with a larger frame or a longer seat post and a longer stem post to allow us taller riders to enjoy the bike.
same. Which bike to ride? hard to find big bikes.
Came back to try new worlds. Still had problems connecting my bike to Mywhoosh and resistance did not feel right. Also, all the banners and graffiti on the natural rides are just way too distracting. Why would there be spray paint on rocks and trees, just plain silly. And the banners. You do not need one every 5 feet again silly. Most of the time can not even read them they're just ugly and ruin the experience. Even though it is free, zwift still a much better experience.
IndiVelo was never developed with the aim to become a Zwift alternative, but a way to show how physics could work in an indoor training app and how it is possible to force people to be honest. It even started with a single developer. He now got some help in creating more routes. IndiVelo shows how the weakest points of Zwift can be solved. It would be awesome if the two will work together.
I already have the Hub so I will wait for the frame to be offered separately.
Looks like a good setup and idea. Curious to see upcoming progress in the plataform and frame compatibility with another wahoo smart trainers. Thanks for sharing the review and thoughts.
You’re welcome 🙏🏼
WTF is wrong with america here cars aren't required to have a front license plate? lol Nuts! (thanks for the great review!)
Great video, as always. Why aren't we talking about compatibility with TCX Neo 2T? I understand Zwift's partnership with Wahoo. But, certainly this should work with a Tacx (and others) also.
What about compatibility with wahoo climb?
Sorry but this doesn’t even come close to Rouvy
Would get frame only for sure
Would buy a frame only version for my existing Zwift Hub; I guess they'll release it later on.
will it compatible with mywhoosh / indievelo?
So nice for low budget fans of indoor cycling 👍
they could have made it belt driven than chain.
Is this still working the same in 2024?
Can I ride the Zwift hub one on the mywhoosh platform? Or is that only possible with a wahoo
The Zwift HUB one with the cog can work with MyWhoosh if you only use it in Erg mode. However, if you ride in sim mode, you won’t have the ability to adjust gearing since virtual gearing isn’t supported in MyWhoosh.
You can remove the Cog and install a cassette instead then use your shifters. The only aspect you lose is the electronic shifting. The Zwift Hub itself works fine with MyWhoosh.
25 km a month on zwift is enough for me for now ..... been using IV for racing and MW for training
what‘s about Tacx?
Interesting topic to hear experiences after a longer period of use. This looks like a smart investment for someone riding a lot of miles indoor, and switching rides in the same household. However, with the current release of the Zwift Ride bike frame, and already having a Wahoo Kickr v5, one would wonder if Wahoo will be capable of making the v5 compatible to the Zwift cog by next winter, would the Zwift Ride become more interesting than the investment of the Kickr Bike Shift? Is the difference in noise level big enough to argument the price difference already partially, next to probably a slightly better ride feel on the Shift? What are your thoughts on that ?
Is this quieter than wahoo kickr bike? I workout early when family are sleeping.
Yes, I find the kickr bike to be a little louder.
Thank you for the reply. Top fella 👈
Can you cycle without power and use hr when cycling outside (if have smart trainer for indoor but no power for outdoor)?
Of course you can. The only thing is if you are tracking progress in your training, using the same metrics will give you better insights and results.
