About

Zwift Coureur

Features
Read full description

Zwift Coureur ranks every frame and wheelset combination by estimated finish time, so you know which bike to ride before you start. Pick a route or segment. The app simulates it for your weight, your height and your FTP, and puts the fastest setups at the top with the time difference next to each one. WHAT'S INSIDE - Over 270 routes, plus 85 named climbs, sprints and lap segments - More than 160 frames and 85 wheelsets - Times calculated for you, not for an average rider - Your garage: add the frames and wheelsets you own, set their upgrade level, and see the best setup you can actually ride today - Time trial mode: TT frames and wheels ranked with time trial figures - Race calendar: browse upcoming races and see the recommended setup for each one, with drafting taken into account - Race reminder: mark a race and get a notification the evening before - Measured or estimated: every row tells you whether the numbers behind it rest on a test or on an estimate BUILT TO BE HONEST An answer that is quietly wrong is worse than no answer. Rows that rest on estimates say so. Your weight and FTP carry a freshness mark, because a ranking calculated with last year's numbers looks exactly as convincing as a correct one. Where something is not known, the app leaves it out instead of filling in a guess. WORKS OFFLINE The complete data set ships inside the app, so it is ready on first launch and keeps working without a connection. Updates are downloaded when they are available. FREE, AND NO STRINGS No account. No sign-up. No ads. No tracking. No subscription. MADE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD Light and dark mode, Dynamic Type, and a colour-blind mode in which every state has its own shape as well as its own colour. Weight and height can be filled in from Apple Health if you allow it, or typed in by hand. Zwift Coureur is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Zwift Inc. It does not connect to your Zwift account.
