Zwift vs Wahoo X: Which indoor cycling app is right for you?

While Zwift is by far the most popular indoor cycling app in the world, there are a number of other apps, each with dedicated followings that promote the unique features that their platform offers. TrainerRoad and Rouvy come to mind, as well as Wahoo X, which is Wahoo’s subscription to give you access to Wahoo Systm – formerly known as The Sufferfest – which is a comprehensive training app designed for performance-based endurance athletes looking to unlock their performance potential. 

Both Zwift and Systm are compatible with any of the best smart trainers, so long as they’re ‘smart’, as well as most of the best exercise bikes, and offer a wide variety of leg-burning workouts, accompanied by a high-tech display and helpful cues. But it is the community aspect where the platforms suddenly diverge.
