The FASTEST Way To Get a TRON BIKE on Zwift

Secret tip to get a tron bike fast!

My name is Adam, I am 35 years old and I am a former marathon runner who shifted his focus on ZWIFT CYCLING.

Road to A is a channel focused on INDOOR ZWIFT RACING with the ultimate goal of reaching the A+ CATEGORY. Is it progression realistic? Maybe. I'll need to train a lot and lose a lot of weight, too. However, I believe the BIGGEST LIMITATIONS riders (and athletes in general) have are those they put on themselves and this channel is my way to prove that idea. If you feel like you are riding (or living) BENEATH YOUR POTENTIAL, you need to tag along! The destination is clear but the journey won't be easy.

Currently I am racing in B CATEGORY.

As for my ZWIFT SETUP - I am riding on a ZWIFT HUB ONE indoor trainer. Steering can give you pretty substantial advantage during the racing and for that I am using the ZWIFT PLAY controllers. I use these for virtual shifting as well and to make sure I'll be covered if they run out of battery or generally stopped working, I've got the ZWIFT CLICK as well. I am running my Zwift in 4K and using the ULTRA settings.

FYI the mountain mash route starts you in the same spot and takes you up the Epic so you don’t have to uturn at the start of your ride. Great video!

Inside 2 months of joining Zwift, rode the Alpe every day😵‍💫 I rode the Tron for a week and went back to a normal rig! Only use it when it makes sense for a race don't really like it lol

I did this when I was trying to get the tron, found it tedious, instead I did workouts by picking the hilly route only. I got the meters, the benefit of the workout and without feeling the gradients, of course you have to use erg mode, and with all the races and group rides within no time I got the tron bike

I got mine in 6 months of grinding it. It was well worth it though!

I was mistaken in the beginning and thought the Tron came at 8800m. That was a disappointing moment hah. I am currently at 18k and have basically given up thinking about it, 50k just feels like a long way away. I will definitely give this a go thanks 👍

It's definitely effective in terms of time/energy spent to unlock the bike, and fun as a thought exercise...but ngl I'd seriously judge anyone who wants to spend ~40 hours of their life u-turning back & forth at low intensity just to unlock a shiny virtual bike more efficiently.

My total playtime is about 87 hours and i'm currently 35k into the challenge without doing anything 'grindy'. If you ride a lot then you'll organically unlock the bike quite quickly, and if you don't ride a lot then why would you invest that much time into getting a better bike in the first place lol. I think if newer players seriously attempted this then they'd burn out and stop playing tbh.

My first winter on Zwift I didn't start the challenge right away only because I didn't know about it. The next winter I didn't really concentrate on it and finally last winter I decided "I am going to get this thing". My tactic was I rode pretty much constantly on Alp du Zwift doing my workouts which were of course in ERG mode. I got it pretty fast doing that. Thing is... I don't even use it. IMHO it is kinda goofy looking and I don't like the fact that the "rider" is always seated and the "rider" never stands while pedaling. When I am grinding it up a hill with a low cadence I want my avatar to reflect that. It is also easier to see when you are drafting I feel. I know it is a great allrounder for racing etc..but I like the S-Works or the Pinarello Dogma F 2024 with a cool set of hoops on it for that. Good content though and TBH, I never thought of that as a tactic. Good stuff and good luck on reaching A (or whatever it is now).

Wise use of game mechanic. Not like - our rogues always use Saronite bombs in their rotation(c)

How long did it take you to get a tron bike? Or are you still in the process of getting it?

I sure hope you have another monitor to watch TV shows on 🤣
