Zwift takes the input from your bike – either via a power meter, a smart trainer or just a speed/cadence sensor using ANT+ or Bluetooth – and uses an algorithm to translate your input data into your avatar’s speed on the virtual course. You can ride together with people around the world, race them, create a private group ride, or complete one of the 15 cycling plans. As you approach a climb you will need to pedal harder to cover the course. The harder you pedal in the real world the faster your avatar pedals. When you open up Zwift, your cycling avatar enters a virtual world, known as Watopia. The more you ride, the more you improve your fitness.
