Swift Zwift Tip: Disable / Enable ERG Mode in a Workout

ERG mode... it's your friend on a good day, your worst enemy on a bad day. Here's a quick tip of how to enable/disable it during a workout if things aren't going to plan in Zwift. *IOS is the iPad version... I meant IOS and AppleTV. :)

*IOS is the iPad version... I meant IOS and AppleTV. The new green screen had me dazzled! ;)

This and your other Zwift tips/videos on BLE and Ant+ has helped me get such a head start in indoor training. Thanks, Shane.

I dont know how many workouts I had to scrap mid-ride because I wasn't able to reactivate Erg mode. Thanks!

cool tip! i use tab to skip an interval when i can't reach the wattage needed. this is so much better.

Thank you Shane I was on a training seasons on zwift and looking for a way to do this, and you came up with goods.

Thanks Lama! Been wondering how to do on pc!
Love your tips...have learnt alot!

Thanks for these quick tips.  I hated the erg mode yesterday.  I was to ride 156watts for 3 min, I was spinning 125rpms in my largest gear and failed to hit the target for that time period.  Makes me wonder if things are set up correctly

When ERG is off during a workout, do inclines and declines have an impact just like a normal free ride? Or is it more like trainer difficulty set to 0?

[CervezaDeGaraje]

Had no idea about this one, great tip!! Thx!!

[marciandjohn]

Just a simple question: how do I turn-off ERG? Thank you for your direct answer!

[janpeterlassen]

Nice tip, thanks! Am I correct to assume that I have to manually enable erg mode again? Wouldn't it be nice to also have a "disable erg mode for this interval only" button? Less action required (typing, reaching for your ipad, ...).

Shane. Have you ever tried to cover every bit of tarmac on watopia in one ride? Last Saturday I did figure of 8 then volcano climb then epic Kom reverse then jungle . I rounded my ride up to 60 miles in 3 hrs. I’m interested to know how you’d go about knitting all the tarmac together as my route covered some parts twice.

Thank you Shane for your vids they are very good.
I have just started with Smart Trainer and Zwift less than a week ago. Regarding disabling the erg mode during a ride. Would it put the trainer on sim mode by default? Would it make more sense to ride crits or different routes that are not pure workouts on sim rather erg mode?
Thank you

No way to enable/disable ERG on Zwift Mobile ?

[AgnessBass]

I have a PC version and my trainer (BKool Pro) is not listed on the Zwift list of trainers. Where can I find the ERG option? It seems that by default it's not activated and I don't feel any variable resistance on the trainer. Any help plz? Thanks!

If your suffering in erg mode, harden up

(then give in and drop your ftp% 😂😂😂)

[vincem]

i have hit the arrow up key and get all the same menu bar beside no ERG mode toggle. i cant find for the life of me anywhere else to switch it back on. any help with this Shane ? thanks

[nathaliec]

hi shane love your video on swift my question today is i jumped into a workout group after riding and don't see my previous workout on starva is there anyway i can resend the workout via gamin connect?

[oldsap]

im a little confused, in the latest version of zwift desktop pc, it's either ERG ON button is shown or the INCLINE button is hsown. if i want to use ERG mode, which one (ERG ON / INCLINE) should be showing?

Hi Shane. My old MacBook can’t handle swift anymore so I’m using Apple TV. Working great with a kickr and a tickr. But I’m one of those submissive weirdos that loves erg mode. It just does not work. Turned on and off a few times, did a restart and no joy. I’m in charge of my output. Any tips?
