Meh, I feel like since this is tied to a single, subscription based program, the hardware should be much cheaper. Unless this setup is now compatible with other, non-subscription based apps. Last I looked into it, it wasn't from what I remember.

The Zwift Ride with KICKR CORE 2 is fully compatible with the Rouvy app, offering a complete indoor cycling setup that allows users to ride without mounting their outdoor bike. This combination supports virtual shifting, meaning users can change gears via the handlebar controls to simulate real-world resistance changes on Rouvy's real-world routes.

Key features and user experiences include:

Virtual Shifting Support: Rouvy has reverse-engineered Zwift's virtual shifting protocol, enabling seamless gear changes on the Zwift Ride frame while using Rouvy.
Controller Limitations: Only the shifter buttons on the handlebar controller work with Rouvy; other buttons (D-pad, A/B buttons) are non-functional for app navigation in Rouvy.
Connectivity: Users may face Bluetooth channel limits on devices like Apple TV, as the trainer and handlebar controls consume two channels, potentially requiring a secondary device (like an iPad or laptop) for heart rate monitors or media.
Setup: The system requires initial setup via Zwift apps for firmware updates but functions independently for Rouvy rides, supporting both ERG mode and simulation mode (free rides, races).
User Feedback: Reviews indicate the setup works "great" and "smoothly," with users appreciating the realistic ride feel and the ability to use Rouvy's video-based routes with automatic resistance adjustments.
This bundle is ideal for riders who prefer Rouvy's aesthetic and route library but want the convenience of a dedicated, adjustable smart bike frame.

The real question is Rouvy or Zwift? Which is better?

I prefer rouvy because it's like riding in real life,zwift is more gamey but it is more social and has more races if you are into that

Do you like riding uphill? If so, Rouvy - for flat rides and more game like experience Zwift.
