I have an justo 2 and an elite rizer. Now both me and my wife wants to ride indoor i was thinking about the zwift ride.
The alternative from elite had too much issues and there are no other solutions available in the EU.
Can we expect that zwift will make an adapter that fits on the elite rizer?
It might happen but you should not make a purchase decision with that expectation. It’s quite possible that compatibility with riser devices may come with a second generation of the Ride frame but not for the first.
Thats what i am also afraid for. I think that it will disappoint a lot users when they create a v2 instead of releasing an adapter kit
I would say very unlikely, it would be a totally different front leg design since the rizer (or the Wahoo Climbr and others) needs to sit where existing mono-fork leg is.
Someone with some metal crafting skill could create something that would link from the attachment point of the current Zwift riser foot to the axle attachment points of the rizer mechanism*. But I suspect there’s not enough perceived market from anyone to do it as a purchasable product.
*it would also require the rizer to be further forward that usual so would reduce the effective slope simulation, say only giving 4° actual when it thinks its doing 6°. It also potentially changes the force loading on both ends so you wouldn’t be able to talk to Zwift or Justo about warranties or guarantees if either breaks.
That make sense. I think it will not be realistic that zwift will launch an new frame.
I dont understand why they designed the front so that it will be available with an adapter in the future. Like they did with the crank.
You might be able to get the Caveworks Rivet frame to work, but I’d ask Caveworks if they’ve tried.
Caveworks is sending from the US. I was looking for it but sending to eu is at this moment a little tricky. It is difficult to calculate the extra import costs
Hi @rroijackers, welcome to the Forums! I’m Francisco from Zwift Support.
The Elite Justo 2 is compatible with the Zwift Ride Smart Frame, as it appears on the list of supported trainers, so it will work smoothly with the frame. I do appreciate your feedback regarding the Elite Rizer, as it isn’t compatible with the Zwift Ride.
Folks, FYI: You can review all the alternatives here:
Those articles are the best place to find the latest compatibility information, as Zwift may update down the line.
Ride On.
Thanks for the answer. I know the Justo 2 is compaitble. But as the topic shows is my question about the elite rizer. Maybe my english was not so clear, it’s not my major language.
I hope that zwift will come with a solution because now wahoo, elite and garmin has gradient simulators. Maybe a replacable front feet as an expansion or something.
