Zwift is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, and as part of its birthday bash, the indoor training app-turned-ecosystem is giving away a pair of Zwift Play handlebar-mounted controllers with every eligible smart trainer purchase. Initially, this offer was only set to run for a short time, but Zwift has just extended its giveaway until Monday 14th of October.
The Zwift Play controllers have an RRP of $99.99 / £99.99 and with the winter nights drawing in for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, many of us are getting back on The Turbo or considering delving into the virtual cycling world for the first time – which makes this deal very appealing and well timed.

Once a smart trainer and the Zwift Play controllers are added to the basket, Zwift says the discount will automatically be applied at the checkout.
To be doubly sure, we checked and it works!
What is Zwift Play?
Zwift Play allows you to control everything in Zwift from the convenience of your handlebars. That means there’s no more reaching out for your smart device or keyboard and mouse while riding to dish out ride-ons, activate your power-ups or navigate the in-game menus. Plus, thanks to the new steering and braking controls, the gameplay is extra immersive.
It also unlocks virtual shifting for quiet and smooth gear changes on compatible smart trainers. Check out the Zwift comparison chart to see if your trainer is virtual-shifting compatible.
