![]() The closest I could get was putting them vertical, but that looks kinda stupid, and isn’t super practical. I couldn’t figure out any way to make that work. However, if you’ve got a triathlon/TT bike, you’re kinda hosed. Zwift says they’ve tested it on over 400 bikes with a 97.6% success rate, and indeed, on all my road bikes it worked great. They don’t use rubber bands or zip ties, but rather, it has a rubber flap that wraps around your bars and then latches on a hook. You’ll see them marked left/right on the units, and then you just put them on the appropriate handlebar side. Getting the controllers physically on the bike is easy. Also, nobody cares about bike weight on a smart trainer. ![]() And, since there’s nothing else on the market like it, I get to save myself (and you) doing comparison shots and weights. Then we’ve got the USB charger, and finally, the paper stuff: You’ve got the left and right controllers, a dual-USB-C charging cable, two optional shims (if your handlebars need it), and some paper stuff. Inside it you’ll find all these components laid out: Here’s the brown box, matching the styling and look of the existing Zwift Hub trainer box. And in my testing, I’ve got very few complaints. Zwift now says that they continued testing this device for the years since, refining it based on user feedback. Back in December 2021 when they accidentally leaked their own smart bike and trainer plans, the Zwift Play controller was literally on the text slide (even by name and function), and sure enough, if you looked closely enough, you could even see it on the bike image too. Interestingly, the Zwift Play controller is not actually a new idea for Zwift. And not to spoil too much of this review, Zwift seems to have once again nailed the hardware execution with a product that’s largely affordable and functional. ![]() It’s Zwift’s second piece of cycling hardware they’ve announced in the last year, following the Zwift Hub trainer last fall. Zwift has just released their Zwift Play controller, which lets you do everything from steering in-game, to quickly accessing settings while riding, all while also hurling burritos at other racers.
