Hello Community,
Is there proper MTB gearing available with the Zwift Cog and virtual shifting?
To be clear, I am not interested in changing the trainer difficulty below 100%. I want to ride around in Zwift like I am riding my MTB with my MTB gears. Twelve or 13 speeds with larger gaps, no top end, and an easy climbing gear.
I also do not want to have to swap cassettes every time I swap bikes.
Thanks and “Ride On!”
These are the options:
The way I think about it, when you are on Zwift you are riding a road bike. No matter which type of bike you choose in-game it’s all road bike all the time.
Yeah, I feel you. It is just that I mostly ride MTB marathon and gravel events, both of which I use 1x with 12/13 speed wide range cassettes.
It would great if Zwift added those gearing choices so I could train on Zwift and the experience was much closer to bikes I actually ride in the events I am training for.
I can’t say they won’t do it, but you could be waiting a long time. If matching outdoor gearing is the goal then virtual shifting is not the answer and you should put a cassette on the trainer. That might require also replacing the freehub depending on the gearing you are interested in using.
