NEW ROADS, PLANNING TOOLS AND DEEPER OUTDOOR INTEGRATION SET TO HELP YOU GET MORE FROM THIS SEASON WITH ZWIFT

Zwift, the global online fitness platform, today lifts the lid on many of the exciting new product developments and content experiences planned to launch this coming season. From planning in Zwift Companion, more levels to chase in both running and cycling as well as a dedicated event map for gravel, there is something for every Zwifter to explore This Season on Zwift.

Personalized Recommendations Go Outdoors

Launching in April

Personalized Recommendations recently launched in Zwift, helping Zwifters spend less time thinking and more time doing. Based on a combination of your recent ride history, and preferred activity types, every Zwifter now receives a recommended next activity in the ‘Next Up’ card in Zwift Companion. Personalized Recommendations will serve a variety of content, including workouts, Robopacer Rides, Routes, and workouts. The first recommendation is the one we think you will enjoy most but Zwifters have the flexibility to adjust activity type to suit their needs.

As we move towards the Northern hemisphere summer season, Zwifters now have the option to view an Outdoor Recommendation in Zwift Companion. This will be a basic guide to advise how to get the most from your next activity. Simplicity is the name of the game here, giving Zwifters the space to make the most of those sunny summer miles!

Plan Your Week in Zwift Companion

Coming this April

For those who prefer to plan out their weeks, and hold themselves accountable through scheduling, Zwift is now giving Zwifters the ability to plan their week within Zwift Companion. At launch, Zwifters will be able to schedule bike workouts, bike routes, bike and run events, Robopacer Rides and challenge tasks (e.g. Route of the Week) for the days ahead. As activities are added to the weekly calendar, the fitness graph on the Zwift Companion app homescreen will automatically show all future planned activities so Zwifters can see what’s ahead at a glance. For Zwifters with third party training connections, planned workouts will automatically populate.

Don’t want to plan your full week? No problem. Planning a few events or activities ahead will have the added benefit of improving your personalized recommendations, so if you have a race scheduled for tomorrow, we can give you something to prime those legs.

Zwift Camp: Breakthrough

April 6th - May 17th

The final Zwift Camp of this winter season arrives with Zwift Camp: Breakthrough. Beginning April 6th, Zwift Camp: Breakthrough is designed to support Zwifters in their transition to the summer season. The five workouts will focus not only on fitness but also features drills to improve technique, stability and control. The end result should be strong, smoother outdoor miles for Zwifters.

Configure your HUD for workouts

Launching May

Whether participating in Zwift Camp: Breakthrough, or completing any one of Zwift’s 1,000+ workouts, the ability to customise data fields in workout mode is sure to level up the experience. Four configurable data fields can be illustrated on the central workout screen. Zwifters can pick from 13 biometric data points ranging from Cadence (RPM) to Core Temperature or power to weight ratio (W/KG). This update will allow Zwifters to tailor their data inputs, so they can focus on what’s best for them and get the most out of their training.

Gravel Mountain 

Ride it from April 6th 

Zwift’s first gravel only map comes to Zwift on April 6th. An event-only map, Gravel Mountain will be the fastest, most exciting way to experience gravel on Zwift - expect dust, speed and loose lines. 

Set in a red rock environment with new route features including red rock medians, corner berms and ultra-wide roads. The full gravel surface means gravel bikes will be optimal, so why not pay the Zwift Drop Shop and enjoy a new virtual bike day to celebrate the launch of Gravel Mountain. 

PAS Racing Series

April 6th - May 3rd

The fastest and most dynamic racing experience on Zwift starts with the PAS Racing Series which brings the performance and style of Pas Normal Studios to a new kind of gravel racing on Zwift: tough, competitive and refined. The four stage gravel series includes the new routes in Gravel Mountain and a new gravel route in Makuri Islands. Races will run hourly, and of course there will be a custom Pas Normal kit to unlock.

More Levels for Running and Cycling

Coming April

Every Zwifter knows how compelling it is to round up their rides to the nearest mile or kilometre - not for bragging rights, but for that extra XP. Chasing levels is incredibly rewarding and now there’s more to chase than ever before, no matter your Zwift level. The level 100 cap has been lifted, giving Zwifter hundreds of new levels to chase. And for those Zwifters who have hit that century milestone, there is a new status stripe, visible in the rider name list and in Zwift Companion. Runners on Zwift will also see the level cap lifted from 30 to 50.

Tour Fever Challenge

July 2nd - August 16th

Zwift is the official software platform for the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, and to celebrate there will be six weeks of festivity as we all get swept up in Tour Fever. Running July 2nd - August 16th, the Tour Fever Challenge celebrates the summer of racing with five stages of rides and races to enjoy. The Tour Fever Challenge includes five new badges to chase in the Paris Map.

Paris Expansion

Launching June 26th

The Paris map, created for the Virtual Tour de France, is set to become even more iconic with the addition of the famous Montmartre climb. Mimicking the new finishing circuit of the Tour de France, which has proven popular with fans since it was introduced for the Paris Olympics, Zwifters will now be able to ride up the cobbled climb to the Basilique du Sacré-Coeur de Montmartre. Short but punchy, this will be sure to put a sting in the legs.

Drop Shop Update

Spring / Summer

The Zwift Drop Shop is the destination for Zwifters to spend their well-earned Drops on the latest bikes and wheels. This year, the Drop Shop is getting its biggest overhaul yet, with a wealth of new bikes and wheels arriving over the next 12 months. This Spring and Summer, 18 new bikes and 13 new wheelsets are set to hit the virtual shelves. The first two ‘Drops’ land in March and April with a distinct gravel focus, giving Zwifters the chance to kit themselves out with the latest tech for the launch of Gravel Mountain and Pas Normal Racing Series.

Zwift Challenges Go Outdoors

Coming this Summer

Zwift Challenges, with their bonus rewards for completion, have proven to be immensely popular experiences on the Zwift platform. This summer, the fun doesn’t have to stop as cyclists enjoy the great outdoors, as Zwift plans to launch its first indoor/outdoor challenges. To complete, Zwifters will need to have connected their Wahoo, Garmin, or Hammerhead accounts.
