Get ready for an all-new player in the smart trainer game; Zwift has announced its first smart trainer — Zwift Hub and its only $499.

It can act as a BLE or ANT+ Heart Rate Monitor bridge via BluetoothOver-the-air Firmware updates via Bluetooth using Zwift Companion AppSpacing: 142 and 148mm Thru Axle and 130 and 135mm Quick Release adaptors includedThe Zwift Hubs’ singular purpose is to make it easier and more affordable to engage in the fully immersive world of Zwift. The Hub hopes to bring more riders to the indoor online training platform.

Customers can specify the number of gears they require at checkout, meaning Zwift Hub will ship with everything needed to take that first ride in Watopia in minutes.For those using AppleTV to Zwift, you know how quickly you can run out of bandwidth for new devices. Zwift Hub trainer can act as a Bluetooth bridge for your heart rate monitor, freeing up an additional Bluetooth connection that will enable you to pair an additional accessory with Zwift.

As for user participant testing starting April 22′, the team clocked a growing total of 1,540+ rides, 10,000+ miles, and 515+ hours in use — so far. It’s safe to say the bugs should be all worked out by the time it reaches consumers this October.The Zwift Hub prides itself on an easy, no-experience-needed setup and installation; from our experience, this is very true.

After the trainer’s legs are tightly secured, you can move towards the dropout and thru-axle spacing test. At this point, my kids successfully built the trainer without any help but the setup instructions. Next, you’ll need to plug in the trainer and start the pairing process. Our Hub arrived with three different outlet options; we’re guessing the final version will only have the one option you need.
