Hm RGT certainly has a nice website; but it just looks like another competitor to Zwift which will probably fall away due to the nature of the market? It's hard to see zwift being toppled. DCRainmaker seems to agree, companies like this have a good product, but they don't have the finance to compete with Zwift.
The "magic roads" feature could have really drawn turbo users in if they had opened up all Premium features for say the whole of January, but a 14 day Premium trial is no use now when rgt staff won't be around much to process the gpx files to make Magic Roads function.
The one thing they have over Zwift, but needs some major refinement, is auto braking and a power ceiling for corners. However, it's had oddities for months, where it kicks in on some routes on tiny kinks in the road. Done properly, it could drastically improves races, especially crits.
I've yet to test if it still happens, but I reported a bug to them last winter... For some reason, some courses report inflated power figures to Strava and Elevate For Strava for your best 20min power effort. This inflated figure is then passed on to my
https://cricklesorg.wordpress.com/ account (not sure about my
https://power-meter.cc/home account) which processes it and gives me an inflated FTP estimate that consequently will then screw up all TSS figures for the next six weeks.
Not sure there monthly subs will help draw users in either, only £1pcm cheaper than Zwift iirc.
It could easily go the same way as Virtugo, lots of promise, but not enough draw to pull away Zwift users from the masses.
. Three stages to go!
For me it was hard work, but feels good to have done it.
