![]() ![]() This list is based on our recent speed tests of 100+ rides up Alpe du Zwift, a 12.2km, 8% monster of a climb which takes around 50 minutes to complete for our 75kg test rider at 300 watts steady. ![]() About the Resultsīelow you will find the fastest draftable frames for climbing Alpe du Zwift. Your best Zwift setup, more than ever, depends on your specific situation. Differences between options will also be magnified or minimized by your own power levels, drafting abilities, and more. Lighter items perform better on climbs, while more aerodynamic items perform better on flats and descents. So you’ll want to think through your strengths as a rider when choosing your frames and wheels for races.Įach piece of equipment has unique weight and aerodynamic (CdA) values, making them perform in ways that mirror outdoor physics. These frames are the fastest up the Alpe, but that means they won’t be the fastest down or on flat sections since climbing frames are lightweight and less aero. The next question for racers is: what about climbing? *First, a Disclaimer We’ve already looked at which frames perform best on flat/mixed routes. We’ve been hard at work in our lab testing wheels and frames, and this is the fifth in a series of posts giving you some solid, data-driven answers. And Zwift’s Drop Shop gives us access to a pile of frames: 80+ including the Tron and TT bikes! Your choice of bike frame influences your Zwift speed significantly.
