Announcing Virtual Shifting on the Wahoo KICKR CORE Zwift One

[shooj (Shuji)]

Does this mean that the Zwift Cog is optional? Like if you have a CORE (or a Kickr, presumably if made available in the future) you could just keep your chain on a single gear of your cassette and just virtually shift with the trainer + Zwift Plays?

Yes, that’s correct. If you already own a KICKR Core + Zwift Play controller - you can use Virtual Shifting without having to buy a Zwift Cog. This is the same as when we introduced virtual shifting to Zwift Hub + Play owners through firmware upgrades. See this previous post.
