Wahoo Core2 Zwift Cog <> Wahoo Systm

[StarMan]

Hi I am using Wahoo Systm with a Schwinn bike, but I am thinking of buying a Wahoo Core2 with Zwift cog.

How does it work - do you need to shift by yourself or does the system shift for you?

Will it work with the Systm Trainings or will I need to switch to Zwift for fully using the Core2?

Thanks mark

Zwift Cog & SYSTM

My current setup is a Jetblack Victory with the Zwift Cog. (I don’t plan on using Zwift). When i did the 4D Full Frontal, it said to use Level/Slope to simulate ground surface (flat riding). Which i did. I had a lot of trouble managing the test because it was virtually impossible match the watt asked and the cadence. I typically ride around 90 but i was also trying to manage watts to do what the training asked. It felt like inwas not doing the test properly (it was still extremely demanding m…

The gist of the idea is that while the Zwift cog can be used in ERG mode in SYSTM, virtual shifting with the cog is only available in Zwift. So, doing your fitness tests in SYSTM to get your 4DP numbers is possible, but requires a bit of a hack by either dual-recording with Zwift and SYSTM, or changing between level/slope mode settings in SYSTM while riding.
