About the Zwift Ride (V2) with KICKR CORE 2
Zwift Ride launched June 2024 with KICKR CORE; V2 (2025) adds saddle fore/aft travel, 160-175 mm crank options, wider bars and a lower height range, bundled with KICKR CORE 2. Zwift also sells the frame alone ('Zwift Ride Smart Frame', compatible with Zwift Ready trainers and Zwift Cog v1/v2). The Wahoo bundle page quotes 'up to 20% uphill, -15% downhill' - this conflicts with the KICKR CORE 2's own 16% spec and is likely a Zwift virtual-gradient statement; flagged, not adopted. Frame controllers are Bluetooth only.
