Spreading virtual thumbs up throughout the indoor trainer world, Zwift adds three new trainers to its virtual shifting list. Now, the Elite Direto XR, JetBlack Volt V2, and Decathlon’s Van Rysel D100 can utilize the Zwift Cog and Click Upgrade Kit.
This means that with the Zwift Cog and Click upgrade, you can take your indoor training setup to the next tier by unlocking virtual shifting. The system is compatible with any 8-12-speed bicycle, as well as fully compatible with other gear in the Zwift ecosystem.
So, What is Zwift Cog and Click?
The virtual shifting system is designed to “simplify and elevate your Zwift experience.” When you use the Zwift Cog and Click upgrade, the Cog replaces your existing cassette – no more swapping your cassette from your bike to your trainer, or purchasing an additional cassette just for the trainer. The Cog is compatible with any 8-12-speed and offers optimal chain alignment, so it also makes it easier to mount bikes with different drivetrains to the same trainer.
The Cog is paired with the wireless Zwift Click controller and can be mounted anywhere on your current setup. The system gives you the instant ability to run a wide range of 24 virtual gears.
Why Upgrade?
Access to virtual shifting can change the way you interact with your trainer. When you eliminate physical gear changes, you eliminate drivetrain wear. You will have a smoother, quieter experience while enjoying uninterrupted resistance transitions. This means more immersive Zwift sessions that will allow you to focus on your ride.
Plus, upgrading to the Zwift Cog and Click system will make your trainer compatible with the Zwift Ride Smart Frame. This would provide an “always-ready” all-in-one indoor Zwift setup.
