Motion plates

Hi @Jim_Schloffel, welcome to the Forums! I’m Francisco from Zwift Support.

Awesome to see you’re thinking about leveling up the indoor ride feel with a motion plate.

Like @Chris_D9 mentioned, comfort is definitely one of the biggest pros, especially on longer rides. A rocker plate adds some natural side-to-side movement, which can help reduce saddle fatigue and make the ride feel a bit more like the outdoors.

That said, with the Zwift Ride, the key thing is making sure the frame actually fits and is secure on the plate. The Zwift Ride has a unique base and integrated design.. It’s worth checking with the plate manufacturer—or the Zwift community, like in this thread here—to make sure it’s compatible and can be safely anchored.

If you’re curious about how it feels in action, Zwift Insider did a solid review that’s worth a look too.
