    🏁 Why The Zwift Ride Might Be the Best Indoor Setup for Racers

    I’ve seen plenty of reviews on the Zwift Ride, but no one really talks about the one thing I didn’t expect — free speed. Being able to stretch out, lower my position, and actually practice an aero posture indoors has changed how I show up outside. If you ride outdoors and are considering this setup, I dive into the Wahoo KICKR Core 2 and why this Zwift Ride might be one of the best tools out there for race-focused training.

    🔥 Scott McGill Joins Hincapie’s Team: Big Move for U.S. Cycling

    Today we’re joined by American pro cyclist Scott McGill, who just signed with Modern Adventure and is gearing up for a massive 2026 season. Known for his sprinting power and big race results—including two stage wins at the 2022 Volta a Portugal, a 2024 Tour of the Gila stage win, and a Redlands Classic stage win—Scott is one of the most exciting U.S. pros to watch. He also coaches athletes and co-hosts the popular cycling podcast Bonk Bros. In this episode, we talk about his move to Modern Adventure, his development as a rider, and we also dig deep into one of the most debated topics in endurance training: Zone 2. Is it overhyped? Misunderstood? Essential? Scott gives his honest take as both a pro racer and coach. And of course… we hit him with rapid-fire questions you don’t want to miss.

    💡The Most Overlooked Factor of Bike Trainers?

    Winter is coming… and it’s trainer season again. We're back on the hunt for a new indoor trainer — but this time, not making the same mistakes we did when we bought our current ones (RIP Tacx Flux S). Like a lot of riders, we chose our trainers based mostly on price… and that was a mistake. If you’re serious about getting stronger this winter — chasing FTP gains, dialing in your threshold work, or just building a solid base before race season — there’s one overlooked factor that should guide your decision more than anything else: Power Accuracy. We make a case for why accuracy matters more than price, brand, or flywheel weight — and how that ±1–5 % number you see on the box actually changes your training results. Plus, we rank all the major trainers into different tiers.   We’ll cover: What trainer accuracy really means  How it affects your intervals and zones Brand breakdowns from cheapest to most expensive • Van Rysel D100   • JetBlack Victory   • Elite Direto XR-T   • Wahoo KICKR Core 2 / V6 / MOVE   • Garmin Tacx Flux 2 / NEO 2T / NEO 3M   • Saris M2 Smart Trainer  Follow us: YOUTUBE: @bespoke-endurance INSTAGRAM: @bespoke_endurance TIK TOK: @bespokeendurance STRAVA: https://www.strava.com/athletes/12445307 & https://www.strava.com/athletes/9809044 SPOTIFY: Bespoke Endurance | Podcast on Spotify APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1790091191 IHEARTRADIO: https://iheart.com/podcast/259385937/
