Rouvy
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Wheel off has much more immersion when cycling and gives the option to use Zwift / Rouvy / MyWoosh and others.
- I post all my virtual rides with Rouvy on Strava. I never used Zwift way too cartoony for me, like going back to the early days of Tiger Woods golf. Plus, I like real routes.
- I've been using Rouvy for the last 2 years or so, mostly because the "virtual world" you're riding in is made up of actual real-world routes and the visuals are photorealistic, captured from bike-mounted GoPros.
- Zwift or Rouvy
- Parent context: It’s so boring. How do you do it? Do you have any tips? Reply: Rouvy and books on tape and/or watch soccer.
Cons
- I tend to climb and sprint seated when using Zwift and Rouvy, which keeps everything a bit more stable.
- Really what most indoor cyclists do is use an app (zwift, rouvy or similar) but you’ll need a smart bike or a smart turbo trainer.
- Ramp test on Rouvy. Garmin watch estimated my FTP to be 136 using power meter data from the Kickr, but the ramp test said 110.
- Having used both I vastly prefer Zwift over Rouvy. Rouvy's biggest selling point is the real life courses and scenery but to me they don't really matter because I am using a 15-in laptop so the views fail to wow me. Also, most courses ha...
- I’ve decided to switch to ether Rouvy or Zwift, and also decided to upgrade my viewing experience.
