    Profile Design Gives Zwift Ride a Proper Aero Cockpit

    The Zwift Ride just got a lot more interesting for triathletes and anyone trying to spend serious time in a TT position indoors.

    Profile Design has introduced the Zwift Ride Supersonic Aerobar, a dedicated aero cockpit built specifically for Zwift’s smart bike platform. The setup combines Profile Design’s Supersonic-style extensions and armrests with a new tray designed to work around the Zwift Ride’s front end.

    More importantly, it adds integrated mounts for the Zwift Click controllers, so riders can shift, steer, and navigate Zwift without sitting up and reaching for the standard controls.

    For anyone using Zwift Ride for triathlon prep, TT work, or trying to match their outdoor position a little more closely, that fills a pretty obvious gap.

    A Proper Aero Setup for Zwift Ride

    The biggest piece of the system is actually the new tray. Profile Design developed a slimmer Zwift Tray in partnership with Zwift, creating enough clearance to mount the aero bars without interfering with the bike’s front-end hardware. It looks to be just enough room for a TV controller, phone, or slice of very thin pizza.

    That extra space lets riders adopt a more realistic aero position instead of bolting extensions around the existing tray. The bars use an ergonomic ski-bend extension shape and offer plenty of adjustment through both the extensions and the Ergo+ armrest pads.

    Profile Design’s approach gives riders more room to dial in extension length, pad position, and overall fit closer to their outside ride.

    Zwift Click Controls Stay in Reach

    The cleaner part of the setup is the integrated Zwift Click mounting. The Click controllers mount directly to the aero extensions, putting Zwift controls at the rider’s fingertips while keeping them tucked into the aero position.

    That means riders can shift, steer, and navigate in-game without coming off the extensions. The bars also get anti-slip grips, which should help keep hand position consistent during longer sessions or harder intervals.

    For triathletes, that’s probably the feature that makes the system more than just a set of clip-ons. Because if the goal is to train and adapt in the position you’ll actually race in, having to sit up every time you want to shift or interact with the game isn’t ideal.

    Zwift Ride Supersonic Aerobar – Price and Availability

    The Profile Design Zwift Ride Supersonic Aerobar will retail for $275 / £220 / €245, and pre-orders are open now.

    Profile Design will also display the new cockpit at the IRONMAN World Championships in Kailua-Kona. For Zwift Ride owners trying to turn the platform into a more convincing triathlon or TT training bike, this is the first purpose-built solution (that we know of) that ties the aero position and Zwift controls together in one package.
