Does zwift ride include membership?

I would like to know if with zwift ride a 1 year zwift membership is included.
Thank you.

Antonio

It does not. Only the Kickr Core purchases without the Ride come with a membership deal.

Correction:

Ok… so is it included? I don’t understand from your correction if there is a discount or a full 1 year membership.

The Zwift Ride bundle is specifically excluded, so you would not get the membership with that. The correction was that several other trainers and smart bikes do get the membership deal, just not the Zwift Ride bundle.

Hi @Antonio_Merulla, welcome to Forums. It’s Juan here rom Zwift.

As Paul mentioned, we don’t offer annual membership for Zwift Ride purchases. We’ve decided to separate this hardware and membership options to give Zwifters more options and better prices. Our monthly membership offers flexibility, while our annual membership is the most cost-effective way to enjoy Zwift.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us..

I’m sort of failing to see the benefit of ordering a Zwift ride as a package?

If I order separately (it already ships separately) - ie with the kickr core. And then the Zwift ride frame. It’s exactly same cost. And I get discounted Zwift.

In fact. I can even get with the Zwift play controllers right now (and could gift these to someone or sell them on).

Can anyone tell me where I’m missing the point of buying the bundle? Isn’t a bundle usually supposed to offer better value.

Thanks
Neil

Hi @Neil_Smith7! Welcome to the Forums. This is Haziel from the support team at Zwift, and I’m here to help you.

I completely understand your interest in the benefits of purchasing the bundle instead of getting the Zwift Ride and the trainer separately. It’s great to know that you’re considering the best options for your experience. As you mentioned, buying the bundle can indeed save you a significant amount, which is a wonderful benefit.

When purchased separately, the trainer does come with options like an included annual membership or Zwift Play, which might make the prices differ. We’ve designed it this way to offer our members a variety of choices based on their needs. However, if you’re looking for an engaging setup with Zwift at a more affordable price, the bundle of the Zwift Ride and Wahoo trainers would really be a great option. I hope this helps you make the best decision for your Zwift experience!

If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us.

Hi Haziel,
Thanks for your reply
I think you are not seeing my point.

Zwift ride package - €1299
No Zwift subscription included
Total €1299

Zwift bike - €799
Kickr core with Zwift cog - €499
Zwift play controls (in addition to handlebars)
Some months of free subscription
Total €1299

The prices are identical but if I buy separately I get a lot more, and can even sell on the controls that I won’t need.

Where is the incentive to buy a bundle??

I’ve just bought the zwift ride bundle and having read this thread I’m delighted with the variety of choice I’ve gained.

I’m my case the choice is to be 180 quid down before I’ve even turned the thing on. Excellent. Thanks Zwift.

You do have the option to return it. With a normal bicycle on a trainer you can do as you please, using any app you like, servicing the bike at home or at any bike shop, etc.
