How this race tends to play out

The only week of the round where TT bikes are legal - Zwift enables them, and gives them draft, for team time trials. Figure 8 Reverse is rolling rather than flat, with the Zwift KOM in both directions, so the fastest TT setup is the one that does not fall apart on the climbs.

Race details from the published round guide.

Best bike & wheel combo for this race

This is a team time trial, but the ranking below is computed for a solo rider. TTT draft mode ranks bikes at your team's paceline speeds instead - and it can genuinely reorder the list.
