Unfortunately no. I slammed my saddle as forward as I could and although its still about 10mm to far back, it just forward enough to not cause pain. Still no news from Zwift either coming up with a new seatpost or seat clamp assembly. Hopefully they offer something at some point but i very much doubt it.
Nope. You might also want to check on crank length, and saddle height. Just a bit off could cause some issues.
Just wanted to on, this thing needs a 0 offset saddle badly.

Another vote for zwift to release a 0 offset saddle, I canât the saddle far enough forward.

Same proplem here too. Any solutions yet?
Zero offset seat clamp.

I contacted Zwift support a month ago with the same problem. They told me that there might be additional options in the future and that the feedback had been passed on (very disappointing). I was also advised to have a bike fitting. Now Iâve been considering a saddle swap, with longer rails and a more forward riding position. This might allow me to gain a few centimetres. However, I have no experience of how the saddles compare, which is why I havenât decided anything yet.
This looks like a cheap alternative, where can you buy something like this? Does it also cushion the seating position and provide relief on longer rides?

For me 0 setback is a must as well. Before this is available the Zwift ride is no option for me. Even my old stationary spinning bike had this available.

Hello everyone, Iâm also interested in the Zwift Ride and have just looked at the frame geometry and its adjustment options. I was surprised by the antiquated geometry and, like all of you, particularly by the lack of adjustment for the horizontal saddle position. Without further adjustments (theoretically, the horizontal distance between the saddle and the bottom bracket could be reduced by raising the smart trainer or lowering the front leg), it will not be possible for me to assume the same position on this frame as on my road bike. This is a real shame, as I actually really like the concept of the product. So please, Zwift, offer a corresponding seat post option.

I just bought a Zwift bike because theyâve finally introduced adjustable crankarms. Had I realized you couldnât adjust the seat clamp to a zero offset, I probably wouldnât have bought it. It would be a straightforward fix; the seatpost clamp is screwed into the seatpost and could be easily swapped out with a zero or even a +10mm offset seat clamp for TT/triathlon riders. Zwift engineers see the attached picture for the solution.
agree. keep us in the loop. needing zero offset really bad
Do it Zwift. DO IT!!!

This isnât much help to those who have bought the Ride and canât unwind that decision, but these are fit issues that the caveworks RIVET solved. 0-offset-ready by design, and seatpost is an industry standard 30.9mm, so all manner of setbacks (or zero-offset posts for those who even want to be a little in front of their BBs) are easy to acquire from websites or your local bike shop with minimal additional investment.
no smoke towards Zwift here â I think they did a phenomenal job designing the kind of indoor machine they wanted â but the RIVET was designed to make these kinds of things a non-issue for those of us who cared about it and it does exactly that.
I wonder what the product developers at Zwift do when they receive feedback about the Ride. A complex solution for different crank lengths â definitely yes; optimising a tiny component â nope.
Iâm not asking for a free update, but not getting a solution for over a year is very disappointing.
Personally I would be more interested in a 27.2mm round seatpost adapter for it. That would be a solution to do whatever you want.
and give up the highly aero form factor? seriously?!
Mostly give up the massively rigid seat mast that I would never want ever, especially indoors. I would love to stick a flexible seatpost in it. I can see why it might be useful for the 150kg rider but for my body it offers nothing good.
It doesnât matter what Zwift does â as long as they finally do something to improve the user experience.
