How ‘good’ is Zwift? What kind of metrics does it take into account for the dynamics of riding? Like if your weight and height is set high will you be less aero etc? How far have they taken it? And how come sometimes does someone come flying past me when their w/kg is showing lower than what I am currently putting out?
TIA
because they're heavier than you, so putting out more watts, or they're drafting, or they were putting out higher numbers and just backed off...
Thanks -I clearly don't really understand how w/kg etc all relates to what happens 'on the road'.
What about weight/height/aero etc?
I assume they've accounted for that somehow, but I don't know what the formula is. Someone inside Zwift would have to verify that.
Check out Chris Pritchard's channel on Youtube. He has done extensive testing with many things Zwift. As for your height and weight in the virtual world it does make a difference. For example, at the same weight the taller rider is slower in Zwift.
