Rouvy adds full support for Zwift hardware, with improved training integration and 'greater visual detail'
Smart trainers with Zwift Cog and Click will now work seamlessly with the indoor cycling app, with virtual shifting and app control from the handlebars
As summer draws to a close, cyclists with Zwift hardware can now enjoy Rouvy's real-world routes for indoor training sessions throughout autumn and winter. Rouvy, which Zwift acquired in April, now offers full support for trainers equipped with Zwift’s Cog and Click technology, allowing for enhanced compatibility and virtual shifting from the handlebars.
Zwift Ride smart frame users will also benefit from an "always-ready" Rouvy setup, with a Rouvy edition of the adjustable smart bike available from its online store starting September 9th.
Rouvy has expanded its route offerings to include destinations like remote desert roads in Morocco, India's highest paved roads, and Patagonia's wild trails. All new routes feature Rouvy's Enhanced tag, indicating improved visual detail due to high-definition enhancements. Users can add these routes to a Ride Later collection, alongside their existing Favourites option, to create a personalized "to-do" list of rides.
The integration with Zwift hardware extends to TrainerRoad users, who can now complete TrainerRoad workouts using Rouvy's realistic routes with roads and gradients. Rouvy plans to add more destinations in the near future.
To enhance the community experience, Rouvy has introduced new Club Challenges, building on the existing Clubs, Communities, and In-Ride Chat features launched in the summer. These challenges aim to foster camaraderie and competition among Rouvy's 850 clubs and 130 communities that were formed in the past two months. Rouvy Co-Founder and CEO Petr Samek emphasized that cycling doesn't stop when the outdoor season changes, and the company is making it easier for riders to stay connected to their goals and fellow riders throughout the year.
As motivation wanes with the worsening weather, Rouvy is introducing more opportunities to ride with pros. Starting in October, Rouvy will release a calendar of Group Rides led by its notable sponsored athletes, including Wout van Aert, Victor Campanaerts, and Tour de France Green Jersey winner Mads Pedersen.
