Hi there,
I’ve recently purchased a Zwift Ride Smart Bike and I‘m pretty happy so far. I‘d like to follow a structured training plan from Garmin Cycling Coach / Garmin Connect to prepare for a race mid-may 2025.
Is there any chance to control my Zwift Ride Smart Bike / Wahoo Kickr Trainer with my Edge 1050 in terms or resistence/power? If possible I’d use my iPad with the Zwift app in parallel. I could also go Edge-only if that’s possible.
Thank you in advance!
Best,
Christian
Yes you can pair the trainer to the Edge. This does not involve the Ride frame at all, since the Edge will control the trainer directly. In Zwift what you would do is unpair the trainer on the Resistance tile on the pairing screen, since only one thing can control the trainer at a time. You can still pair the trainer to Zwift for Power and Cadence.
You can find information about controlling a smart trainer with a Garmin device on the Garmin website. If you have any problems with that, contact Garmin support.
Also bear in mind that the speed/distance recorded on the Edge will never match what you see in Zwift since the Edge is unaware of all the factors involved in calculating speed/distance in Zwift such as gradients, road surfaces, bike types, etc.
