QZ has added a new Bluetooth discovery path for the Zycle ZBike 2.0. The public master commit d37479d2 adds ZBIKE2.0 as a recognized Bluetooth-name prefix inside QZ’s standard FTMS bike detection branch.
This article is intentionally precise: the evidence is code-level device detection on public master, not a separate public field-test report. In practice, it means a device advertising a Bluetooth name that starts with ZBIKE2.0 is routed by QZ into the existing FTMS bike path. The exact metrics and control behavior still depend on what the bike exposes through FTMS and on the QZ platform/settings used in your setup.

Compatibility summary
| Device | Zycle ZBike 2.0 / Bluetooth names beginning with ZBIKE2.0 |
| QZ evidence | Public master commit adds the ZBIKE2.0 predicate in src/devices/bluetooth.cpp |
| Connection path | Standard QZ FTMS bike discovery path |
| Metrics | Limited to the standard FTMS bike data the trainer exposes; do not assume extra proprietary metrics from this commit alone |
| Resistance / control | Use the normal FTMS bike behavior available for the trainer and QZ configuration; this commit only proves Bluetooth detection routing |
| Zwift / MyWhoosh / ROUVY / Peloton / Garmin | QZ may bridge supported bike metrics/control into compatible virtual-device and export workflows, but this specific evidence does not prove every app combination for the ZBike 2.0 |
| Confidence | Medium: strong code evidence for recognition, no separate field-test confirmation attached to this candidate |
Setup notes
- Update QZ to a build that includes the public master change for
ZBIKE2.0detection. - Start Bluetooth discovery with the Zycle bike awake and advertising.
- If QZ detects the bike through the FTMS path, first verify basic bike data such as cadence, speed, power, or resistance values that your specific trainer exposes.
- Only then test app bridging workflows such as Zwift, MyWhoosh, ROUVY, Peloton-style virtual bike use, or Garmin/Strava/Health export according to your normal QZ setup.
QZ bridge overview
QZ can connect many Bluetooth fitness devices and present their data to training apps and services. Depending on your device, platform, and settings, QZ can help bridge metrics/control to virtual apps and can also work with integrations such as Apple Health / HealthKit, Garmin Connect, Strava, and Google Health / Health Connect.
