Is the Zwift Ride Built to Last? 10,000km Test

I rode the Zwift Ride for 10,000km and can now answer the question: Is it built to last? In this long-term ownership review, I break down the durability, value for money, and the one major component failure I experienced (and how Zwift fixed it). In this video: The 10,000km Test: How the Zwift Ride frame and Wahoo Kickr Core hold up after serious mileage. The Handlebar Failure: The specific issue I faced and my experience with Zwift Customer Support. In Game Demo: How good is the Zwift Ride to use? Is it Worth It? Why I believe the convenience justifies the cost—but only if you actually use it. Final Verdict: Who should buy this for the ultimate indoor cycling setup? Ride On! If you're looking for the best in-game experience on Zwift, MyWhoosh, or Rouvy, this setup might be the answer. Question of the day: How many km have you logged indoors this year?
