Turbo trainer 400 watts max

[Darren_Mogs_Morgan (Darren Mogs)]

Hi guys I’m new to Zwift and at the moment I have an unsupported turbo trainer.
Can anyone tell me why it will only allow 400 watts max please

Hi @Darren_Mogs_Morgan

Zwift chose 400w limit because they don’t know what trainer you have. it is high enough so that you can get some good training but still not to high that you blow up races, sprints and KOM’s

If you scroll down after clicking the posted link you’ll see some recommendations I give regarding a trainer that has worked very well for me and others. Once you get more into Zwift you’ll want something supported and I believe this is the best option (kurt kinetic road machine w/inride sensor:

Getting Started with Non Smart

Hi All Looking to getting on to Zwift but just wanted some advice. I cannot justify the cost of a Smart Trainer straight away and would more than likely go with a non smart trainer to begin with. Can anyone help on what else I would need and what I can do in a budget to get the most out of it.
