The SNAP fits wheel sizes from 24″ to 29″ and it is compatible with all the current wheel axle setups. We chose the KICKR SNAP from Wahoo Fitness, to accompany us on our adventure into Watopia. Zwift is able to read all data from the trainer. The advantage of this is Zwift’s ability to not only decipher your performance data but also alter the resistance on the trainer, which can give you the satisfying sense of slipstreaming, or trying to counter an attack. If you’d really like to dive into the virtual reality, you should invest in a Smart Trainer, costing 500 € and upwards. Users who have an ANT+-compatible power metre, such as Quarq cranks, will get far more exact data. Zwift dishes up a horde of different options when it comes to linking your indoor training with the computer: the cheapest one relies on your pace, and provides you with the exerted watts. Normally, there is more traffic in Watopia. The virtual surrounding is called ‘Watopia’. Forget the tedium, their approach is interactive, turning previously isolating training into a sociable online game. I’m in a world known as “Watopia“ right now, part of the elaborate software from Zwift who have taken it upon themselves to make indoor training as fun as possible. Welcome to Watopia – pedaling hard in the world of Zwift You can communicate with other riders via an app. I pedal harder, working up the speed to overtake. I tap my smartphone briefly, and my avatar gestures back: ok I’ll go. The guy I’m tailing gives me a hand signal to take over the lead.
And so is the Spanish rider who claims the climb to overtake our group. Or rather, on the virtual world that’s playing out in front of my eyes, a landscape with its immaculate strip of tarmac and virtual bikes. “You made the right choice,” I say, forcing myself to concentrate on the screen in front of me once again.
