Do better wheels/frames impact in game performance/resistance

General Discussion
1

Hello all.

I’ve accumulated enough drops to upgrade my wheels or frame.

I’m a rider not a racer and just wondering if I will notice any performance differences when upgrading.

For example, will the in game resistance seem a little easier if I get the ENVE SES 3.4 wheels?

Is it really just a cosmetic thing if you’re not racing?

Thanks,

Mark

Mark,

The link above is just one example of many tests on the web about this. Yes, these make a difference. You can also search Zwift Insider for fastest frames and wheels and at what level you need to be at in order to get them. The star rating system in the Zwift Drop Shop isn’t very helpful, unfortunately. But luckily we’ve got a great resource over at Zwift Insider!

No I think you’ll just go faster.

Thanks Sean and Ben.

The video linked by Sean and a best buys list at Zwift Insider recommends the ENVE’s so I’ll get those.
