BIG Changes Are Coming to Zwift!

During the upcoming weeks we're going to receive bunch of new changes and features and some of them are HUGE. Here's all you need to know.

My name is Adam, I am 35 years old and I am a former marathon runner who shifted his focus on ZWIFT CYCLING.

Road to A is a channel focused on INDOOR ZWIFT RACING with the ultimate goal of reaching the A+ CATEGORY. Is it progression realistic? Maybe. I'll need to train a lot and lose a lot of weight, too. However, I believe the BIGGEST LIMITATIONS riders (and athletes in general) have are those they put on themselves and this channel is my way to prove that idea. If you feel like you are riding (or living) BENEATH YOUR POTENTIAL, you need to tag along! The destination is clear but the journey won't be easy.

Currently I am racing in B CATEGORY.

Bike: Van Rysel EDR CF SRAM AXS

As for my ZWIFT SETUP - I am riding on a ZWIFT HUB ONE indoor trainer. Steering can give you pretty substantial advantage during the racing and for that I am using the ZWIFT PLAY controllers. I use these for virtual shifting as well and to make sure I'll be covered if they run out of battery or generally stopped working, I've got the ZWIFT CLICK as well. I am running my Zwift in 4K and using the ULTRA settings.

Which of these updates do you like the most?

[ZwiftDude]

The adjustable cranks should be bundled with the bike from factory.

been dreaming of lap splits for years and kinda figured it would never happen, so very excited about that! i won't have to use my garmin to do that like i do now.

[guyhunter]

Always with the great update info to help. You are a great source of information and get right to the bottom and you make sense to boot

[Ntheguitar]

Fairly sensible changes, much better than the upgrade bike nonsense which is just frippery. Looking forward to the cobbles!

[GrandpaWood_UK]

Great summary of what's coming.

I'd like to see draft effect on the hud. I'd also like to see more information available on the companion app, including the route profiles. Finally, I'd love to see route planning on the maps, either on the companion app or the map on the top right of the main screen - highlighting the route in the same way that a GPS does.

I just climbed the Ven-Top today without knowing there were these changes (as it was my first time), I got the lightweight wheels too which was an added bonus!

Good morning Adam from Florida just getting ready to ride VEN TOP, only rode it 3 times, now with new bottom bracket, chain and cassette plus the updates going to a PR today . ALP DU ZWIFT not easy either, but the segment count downs going up makes it easier to manage. Garage is messed up again . Just wish they broke down ZWIFT POWER for us older guys . It lumps all the men together in the 60+, would be nice to see, 60 -69, 70-79 . And speed instead of whole number, like 38.0 38.1 then 38.1 . Like on your bike computer . Off to ride, till next time .

Indeed, the draft indication is missing...maybe next time...i already tried it using the Sauce software and it´s very usefull. Thanks for the video!

[mumblecake]

Can you explain the thumbnail, please? As far as I can see there are no graphics updates or changes planned as implied in the thumbnail.

[hmwelch]

Most excited about new routes in France.

[DavidCarter-]

Outdoor XP is awesome!! Especially when I train for outdoor events, I’m happy I can still invest in the Zwift game

[buzard]

I think I'm going to wait before buying the new crank, I've heard those sort of cranks can crack and I'm not convinced Zwift use the best quality metals or manufacturers.
Keep up the good work, loving your vids 👍

[Liqvidator]

Neck and chin in the center of the screen. It is worth shifting the center of the frame higher.

Glad I did Ventop hardcore last week buy my god what a relentless unending climb (78 minutes!), where I was actually almost glad to see a change from red to flashing gradient.

Btw I would recommend not linking your garmin/ wahoo but link your power meter to zwift on your phone that way you gain 20xp/km and it counts towards upgrading your bike

[TruthFactsLM]

Well after really checking out the new ZWIFT leaderboards on AFTER THE PARTY . Its really poor . They mix all ages and both male and female together in m y range of 200 to 300 . They separate female, but not males . Very very poor

[ksbnybg]

When will be companion app update?You said it would be 8.4 but I don't have the update.

[russellfarnhill]

Like the look of the HUD changes. Zwift has always lacked in game stats.

[cya]

Ventop has sectors? That requires some imagination 😂

[alejandro.a.m]

Nice video. Could you tell Zwift about add the draft % option in the hud?
