Let's Talk About Cheating on Zwift

Cheating on Zwift is nothing new, but lately we’re seeing a different kind of “performance.” In this video, I talk about overt cheaters. Riders putting out completely unrealistic numbers, cartoon-level performances and impossible efforts that no miscalibrated trainer could ever explain. This is not about regular riders, miscalibrated equipment, 2–3% trainer drift or people who simply had a good day. I’m talking about the riders who show up with superhuman wattage and data that doesn’t match anything realistic. Why does it happen, how can you spot it, and why does it matter for the rest of us just trying to enjoy Zwift racing? Let’s talk about it.
