The Grade: Watopia 2024 Expansion

Watopia is getting bigger! From June 11-14, eight new routes & an epic new climb, The Grade, will be rolled out to Zwifters. This latest map expansion will take place on the southern side of the Epic KOM Mountain, stretching from the Mayan Jungles and Southern Coast up to the top of The Grade. 


The Grade is a route segment and steep climb that begins in the plaza of Ciudad de la Cumbre and ends at the top of Epic KOM mountain. Did we mention that The Grade is also a functioning FTP test? Put your legs to the test and see if you can reach a new PR. 


Will there be an event series with this expansion? Yes! But with a caveat. We want our community to take the reins and lead the event series with community-first rides. We’re inviting club owners & event organizers to begin scheduling rides starting June 14 (that’s when 100% of Zwifters will have access to The Grade). Please fill out our intake form to have your club events added to the calendar (link coming soon)! 


The Grade is almost here - get ready to ride your way & find your people! Zwifters can sign-up for an event staring June 14.
