I’m planning on doing an everesting in under 10 hours and will prepare with virtual basecamp/everestings. Therefore I’d like to set the weight value in zwift as close to the actual weight of my bike+kit+me.
I see a lot of people are setting their weight to their ‘naked’ weight but to me this seems to low. My question is: What is the actual weight that Zwift uses? (Is a certain percentage added to the weight the user sets to cover kit, how much do the different bikes+components weigh?)
bikes do have individual weights, but i don’t think exact values are written anywhere. zwiftinsider have done speed tests (steady power up alp d’huez) to test each one, maybe have a look there. if you’re going to be doing it IRL anyway then i think you’re better off not worrying about trying to replicate the conditions virtually though - the psychological effort and the time spent in the saddle is what makes these kinds of accomplishments difficult
