Wahoo acquired the RGT Cycling app not that long ago. But they decided to shut it down on October 31st, after about 19 months.
It’s no surprise to me because the number of users was very low. The app was probably a huge money pit for Wahoo as they struggled to attract more users. Wahoo also struggles financially, so this seems like another effort to get their finances under control.
They will focus more on their Wahoo SYSTM training platform and provide it with more updates and content in the following months.
Wahoo has notified its users via email (you can read it below) and is giving away Zwift subscription codes. If you have a monthly Wahoo X subscription, you get 3 months free, or 12 months if you have an annual subscription.
The good news is that you can stack the subscription code on top of your current subscription. However, make sure to redeem it before October 31st. Otherwise, it will be forfeited.
Your ride history won’t transfer to Zwift, but it will keep in your SYSTM account.
RGT Closing October 31st, claim a complimentary Zwift subscription
Wahoo’s mission is to “build the better athlete in all of us” through our world-renowned KICKR smart trainers, ELEMNT bike computers, connected fitness products, and Wahoo X software. Wahoo X includes the structured training app SYSTM (formerly The Sufferfest) and the virtual cycling app RGT. To deliver the very best experience for you, our valued customers, we have made the strategic decision to focus on our long-established strength in structured training content through SYSTM. We will be closing RGT effective October 31, 2023.
This shift in focus means our talented team’s efforts, attention, and innovation will now be dedicated exclusively to our structured training content. Our vision for Wahoo X going forward is clear: to deliver the absolute best training software to help you become stronger, fitter, and faster, both on and off the bike.
There will be continued improvements to functionality and content to give you even better value, plus more immersive, integrated, structured workouts designed by world-class coaches using cutting-edge sports science to use indoors or outdoors – including cycling, yoga, strength & mobility, running, swimming, and mental training.
We deeply appreciate your membership and loyalty, and we understand this news may be inconvenient. To make this transition smoother for you, we’ve arranged an exclusive one-time offer: 12 months of complimentary Zwift membership. With Zwift, you can continue to ride, race, and connect with fellow Wahooligans in the virtual world. This combination offers you the best of both worlds: structured training excellence with Wahoo SYSTM and access to the world’s largest virtual riding community through the Zwift app —an unbeatable combination.
Please take note of the following important dates and terms:
You will continue to have access to RGT as usual until October 31, 2023.
You must redeem your complimentary Zwift membership code below by no later than October 31, 2023. If you do not claim your code before that time, it will be automatically forfeited and can no longer be used.
Your code must be redeemed through zwift.com and requires a Zwift account to use. The 12-month Zwift subscription is fulfilled by Zwift and is governed by Zwift’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Billing information required to redeem and membership auto-renews after 12 months at the then-current pricing for a 12-month subscription, unless canceled.
Any workout data associated with your use of Wahoo X, including RGT workouts, will be maintained by Wahoo according to Wahoo’s Privacy Policy. You can exercise your rights to download, delete, or restrict the use of your data at any time by submitting a request here.
Support During Transition: If you have any questions or need assistance during this transition period, our support team is here to help. You can reach out to our support team at any time.
We genuinely appreciate your involvement in our Wahoo X community and eagerly anticipate our ongoing journey to help you achieve your fullest potential as an athlete.

I hate you WAHOO. RGT was 10x better than zwiftlings. You let RGT die on the vine. Never giving you any money for ANYTHING and also my sizable circle of influence in the cycling community. Buh bye.
I left Zwift for not liking the virtual world and started using RGT with which I was completely satisfied. Now I need to again reconsider. Probably I will give a try to Rouvy as they offer the most of the real-life routes and hope to enjoy it as much as RGT lately.
I am sorry to hear about that. Yeah, ROUVY could be a way to go, especially, thanks to their new pricing.
Exactly, I was quite surprised by the new offer and if you have enough friends who ride indoors and go for the biggest package of 32.99EUR/month/5users, you can save quite a bit for some extra beers the next summer.
