A downhill race on ADZ should be something that Zwift configures for events on a case-by-case basis.
- In races, I would like it if the race leader was ‘sticky’ in the nearby riders list so that we don’t need to ride to the front of the pack in order to see how far ahead a breakaway is. (2) I’d like to be able to have, for example, helicopter view on the companion and default view on the main game screen to save switching back and forth in the heat of a battle. The option to replace the mini-map with another view would also possibly work. Thanks for posting.
I would love to finally get lap power averages during a custom workout. I don’t want to use a bike computer for average powers during intervals anymore. Creates problems for me when I have two bluetooth devices on my wahoo kickr. Let’s finally get this added!!!
Companion app - it would be handy to be able to change the order of the buttons across the bottom of the screen or hide the ones you don’t use.
Half of them I don’t use and this would reduce clutter and the need for scrolling/swiping across them.
Also hiding things on the main menu of companion app that you don’t use would be helpful. The events and fitness tracking I don’t use.
You can add it to sections in the custom section.
I have used a workout with average power for several ten minute intervals. If I want to do 5 or 8 minute intervals, I just hit tab and skip ahead.
I raised this back in May 2025. You can scroll down through this thread. At that point, based on the response, it felt like it had not really been considered 
.
It is crazy how we have the ‘Splits’ feature which works great for Free Ride etc. but we can’t see avg watts per interval when in workout mode.
The customisable HUD coming to workout mode in May ‘26 is promising, but from what has been mentioned, Zwifters will only be able to select from the current 13 options, which does not include avg (lap) watts.
TrainingPeaks Virtual has this feature perfectly integrated. I can see my Avg Power, HR and Cadence per interval along with a host of other metrics.
Zwift already has the facility to display average power for workout intervals, it just needs to let users know how to access that information.
However until Zwift implement this feature have you investigated intervals.icu. The information is available there but needs a little manipulation.
there are workouts in the library that give avg watts per section.
A few of the Academy efforts have them in the ‘free ride’ sections.
Yes, I’m aware of these… and in fact every workout in a Zwifters workout folder can have avg watts for each interval, but this requires a tweak to the txt file for each workout (and each interval block within that workout that you want to see avg watts for), so it is not the most practical workaround. 
Functionally, it is definitely possible…
RPE and “how did you feel” recorded after each ride if the user enables it.
Like how TrainingPeaks records it on a ride. This can be used to make the AI recommendations more realistic.
Key words there! Every time Suunto updates my watch, I have to go back and disable the “How did it feel” function
What about if the timer and distance didn’t stop each time you moved to a different pacer?
I would like to disable the auto steering interventions on Alpe du Zwift. Still annoying and needless. You can be minutes away from others and still your intended line is overruled by Zwift.
I’m sure some folks ride with the left steering button on a kickr bike permanently pressed down.
I press the steering button every 10 seconds or so on the Zwift Ride when I need to resist what the game wants to happen and make it follow my intentions. This is not a good thing.
Yeah, I have no desire to micro-manage my steering which is why I just don’t turn on the steering controllers.
Add the option to toggle back arrow for u-turn or rear camera view in free rides. Currently its only available in races
Zwift then steers you where you often don’t want to go.
Sure, I get they want to prevent some racers in races from gaining unfair advantages by steering out at the edges of the roads but for other situations (eg riding alone) just give us the function to turn off the auto-steering interventions. We don’t need fine tuning of auto steering, just a big simple off switch.
We’re already well into 2026, so maybe this is more of a 2027 wish, but I’d love to see Zwift incentivize climbing a lot more than it does right now.
At the moment, the platform heavily rewards distance over elevation. If you want XP, drops, and fast progression, the most efficient move is to sit on flat routes with a robopacer. That pulls a lot of riders away from some of the best routes in the game.
XP clearly favors distance, so climbing actually slows your progression. The extra drops from climbing don’t make up the difference either, since you’ll typically earn more overall riding steady with a robopacer on a flat route. On top of that, there are no robopacers on major climbs like Alpe, Epic KOM, or Ven-Top, so those routes often feel empty.
Climb Portals were a solid step forward, but the recent XP nerf has made them far less worthwhile. I’ve done seven climb portals in a row before hitting the 250 XP bonus, and at that point it’s hard to justify staying when flat routes are simply more efficient (That’s 1.4% vs the 10% mentioned on ZwiftInsider). That’s why so many riders default to Tempus Fugit and similar routes. I still spend a lot of time on climbing routes because they’re better for my training style, but it would be great if the game rewarded that effort as well.
This also shows up in the bike upgrade system. Most high-end unlocks are tied to distance. The Specialized Aethos is one of the only notable climb-based unlocks, and there’s no true Halo climb bike to grind for. That may reflect real-world trends favoring aero bikes, but from a gameplay perspective, it would be great to have more meaningful elevation-based goals.
To fix this, Zwift should directly reward elevation by adding XP for climbing, such as +150 XP per 1,000 feet or 300 meters gained, and introduce more climb-based unlocks, including a true Halo bike to create long-term goals. Adding robopacers to major climbs would make those routes feel more active, while increasing drop multipliers on robopacer climb routes to 3x would better reflect the added effort. It would also help to restore stronger XP incentives in Climb Portals and expand summit rewards, like the Alpe spinner, to more major climbs across the game. The Big Spin 2026 event already showed that riders will climb when the incentives are there.
Aero bikes are still are relatively uncommon at events like Haute Route. The last one I did I took my S5 (with the V-stem design) and was one of only three there. One older rim-brake S5, the other one another modern S5 also from my country. Aethos was pretty common, so too Cervelo R5 and the Canyon Ultimate (really common).
A halo climbing bike would be something like Canyon Ultimate CF Evo SL (sub 5kg) and could be unlocked by doing:
- X amount of laps of the following: (reaching a certain vertical elevation total)
- Alpe du Zwift
- Ventop
- This would be done in sim mode where you have to use your gears, making it like a real world climbing challenge where you don’t have erg mode or “free ride” to flatten the hills for you.
But it would also need checks in place to prevent cheating.
Because of the cheating problem, it’s might be better to just not have the any climbing halo bike at all.
I don’t think this would be well liked by the majority. More drops or XP for riding mountain routes (especially if in sim mode) I think was suggested before and didn’t find much approval.
I wouldn’t mind more drops for the big climbs like ADZ where I ride daily for a couple of hours. But robopacers on there I think would get very little use, except for people joining on the start of the downhill to scam free distance.
Every time the robopacer got to the start of the descent of Ventop or ADZ, there would be hundreds of people joining immediately to coast downhill, then all disappearing at the end of the descent. That would be farcical.
Better just don’t have robopacers on the mountain courses and avoid that completely.
