help Zwift Power Meter FAQ
Why is a power meter important for Zwift training?
A power meter measures the wattage you are producing, giving Zwift objective data about your effort. That is more useful for structured training than relying only on speed or perceived exertion.
Can TrainerRoad use data from the same power meter as Zwift?
Yes, compatible power meters can provide power data to both TrainerRoad and Zwift. The two platforms can then use wattage to set targets, record workouts, and assess training effort.
Is a power meter the same thing as an indoor bike?
No, a power meter is an accessory or measurement system, not a complete bicycle. It measures output from equipment such as a road bike, trainer, or smart bike setup.
What does a power meter measure during an indoor ride?
It measures the mechanical power you produce, normally expressed in watts. Zwift and TrainerRoad can use that number to control or display workout intensity in real time.
