Wahoo SYSTM sits between TrainerRoad's structure and Zwift's entertainment. It builds a 4DP Rider Profile across four power metrics, Sprint, Attack, Breakaway and Endure, and sets workout targets from all four rather than FTP alone. A daily recommendation weighs your available time, motivation, fatigue and recent rides, and Plan Builder creates a structured plan for an event and the hours you have. The content is the draw: The Sufferfest high-intensity sessions, On Location routes, ProRides with race footage and power targets, and a Watch Your Own mode for your own video. Yoga, strength, mobility and mental training are part of the package. SYSTM comes with Wahoo's Pro tier at $17.99 a month or $179.99 a year after a 14-day trial; the $4.99 Core tier does not include it. There is no virtual world or open racing.
Who it is for
Indoor cyclists who want structured plans with entertaining video content and cross-training in one app.

Included in Wahoo Pro at $17.99 a month or $179.99 a year ($15.00 per month); 14-day free trial; Core $4.99 a month does not include SYSTM.
