Indoor cycling with accessories & Zwift
With the right accessories, your indoor training becomes even more realistic, comfortable and motivating. Find out here how to take it to the next level!
Your year starts on the bike, not on the sofa.
Cycling in winter is more than just getting through it. Whether you’re training indoors in a structured way or heading outside in wind and weather – here you’ll find inspiration, equipment and know-how for a strong start to the new year.
Choose your winter style:
Winter training has many faces. Some love the control and structure on the trainer, others need fresh air and real conditions. Both are right – what matters is what keeps you motivated in the long run.
Indoor training – structured & focused
Why indoor? Effective winter training on the trainer
What do you need for it? Indoor trainers, sensors & smart tools
An indoor trainer makes structured winter training possible, independent of weather and daylight. Whether it’s a classic trainer or a smart trainer: you can work specifically on endurance, strength and technique and integrate your training flexibly into everyday life.
Modern smart trainers can be paired with training apps and sensors, automatically adjust resistance and make progress measurable. This makes indoor training varied, motivating and effective – from relaxed base workouts to intense interval sessions.
How do you stay efficient? Performance & regeneration indoors
Even in winter, your body needs the right fuel to stay efficient. During sweaty indoor sessions on the trainer or longer rides in the cold, you quickly lose fluids, minerals and carbohydrates.
Electrolytes support your fluid balance, while carbohydrate drinks provide quickly available energy, helping you to stay consistent and focused throughout your training. In addition, selected nutritional supplements can help you cope better with training phases and support recovery.
Structured training begins with the right setup – and ends with good recovery.
Riding outdoors – tough, honest & weatherproof
Why ride outdoors in cold, wind & wet?
Riding in winter challenges you – physically and mentally. Cold, wind and rain make every ride more intense, but also more honest. Anyone riding outdoors needs not only motivation, but above all the right preparation. With suitable equipment, even adverse weather becomes manageable – and cycling remains a regular part of your everyday life, even in the cold season.
Warm, dry hands ensure control and safety, while a mudguard protects you from moisture, dirt and getting chilled – especially on commutes or longer rides. Combined with the right know-how on clothing, care and setup, you can ride comfortably and safely even in poor conditions.
In these blog posts you’ll find practical tips to help you stay safe and comfortable on the bike in winter:
What winter clothing do you need for it?
In our blog posts, we share tips that have proven themselves in everyday winter riding. Good preparation makes all the difference – especially in wind, cold and wet conditions.
How do you stay safe & comfortable? Navigation & safety
Especially in winter, navigation and safety play a crucial role when cycling. Shorter days, poor visibility and changing weather conditions require more attention – and the right equipment. With good preparation, you ride more relaxed, more safely and stay motivated even when conditions get tough.
A reliable head unit helps you keep an eye on routes, record training data accurately and navigate safely, even on unfamiliar roads. In addition, lights, reflective details and well-designed safety features ensure that you are better seen at dusk, in fog or in rain – both in traffic and on quiet side roads.
