When sat in the pen for an event waiting for it to start, I wondered “what frame/wheels should I be on for this”? Especially as my previous event was a TT, and the game had defaulted me onto a Zwift Carbon road bike…
There’s always the option of searching in ZwiftInsider for recommendations, but could something be suggested in-game? Could the game suggest (maybe only if I go looking for it in “my garage”): which is the best of my currently owned frames/wheels to choose for the current event? Could it suggest a purchase for me to make, based on my current Drops banked, and a better bike being available to me?
This could either be:
- a performance based criteria (aero/weight star rating) relating to the chosen course length/climbing
- a popularity metric - what were the most popular choices of the last X thousand riders to complete this course with similar traits:
- event type
- course profile/length
- FTP / A-D category of rider
- Level (what they can access)
Bonus: If the game does force a bike switch (i.e. when joining an event from freeride), can it alert the user? (obviously not for brand sponsored events).
