Hi Zwifters
With the release of game version 1.111, we have three new bikes in the Drop Shop, and one set of wheels. Additionally, some older models of bikes have been removed from the Drop Shop.
Confident, capable, and ready for the long haul: The Ultimate Getaway Vehicle. The race-tuned, adventure-approved Diverge is made for full-gas race days and off-grid epics. Chase the horizon—or your rivals—it’s built for both.
End Of Excuses. The Dogma GR carries that unmistakable Pinarello silhouette into gravel with lightweight carbon and race-tuned stiffness. It responds instantly when you surge and feels laser-precise at pace. Bold lines. Serious intent.
Faster than the rest. The Aspero-5 blends aero shaping with razor-clean handling, making high-tempo gravel feel smooth and controlled. It accelerates with intent and tracks like it’s on rails, the kind of bike that dares you to push a bigger gear.
The fastest gravel race wheels are flat —you read that correctly. Flat. Our novel truncated airfoil may look odd & flat but with up to 5.84 watts faster than Terra CLX II, with aero gains that matter from mile one to mile two hundred.
Weight rating: 3 stars
Aero rating: 3 stars
Unlock Level: 38
Cost (in Drops): 650,000
Also with game version 1.111, the following older models have been removed from the Drop Shop because newer versions are available.
Note: If you have already purchased them, they will remain in your Garage.
What level are these new frames (entry-, mid-, or high-)? It would be helpful if in addition to the other specs being provided, the frame level could also be listed. Thx—
I would not mind if they were deleted from my garage too. If there’s a new version, I’m going to ride that and having old bikes in there just clutters things up.
I’d add another vote for being able to ‘sell’ them back. Technically speaking, I think it would be good if Zwift just removed these bikes from everyone’s garage, and put some amount of Drops back into the accounts of the users who had the bikes removed. Say, somewhere between 25% and 50% of the original value.
Doing this would accomplish a couple of things:
Clean up user’s garages of bikes they probably aren’t going to use anymore. (Garage cleanup has been a long-standing request.)
Allow Zwift to remove these assets from the game completely. (Why keep the game assets that very few people are likely to use?)
Having Zwift just remove the discontinued bikes from everyone’s garage is a bad idea.
I’d be really upset if I was on stage 5 of upgrading my 2019 Grail and Zwift pulled it from my garage.
Wouldn’t that depend on whether the new Grail, with no upgrades, is better than the old Grail, with all the upgrades? I made exactly that change, and I don’t think I’ll go back.
I’ve just read the climbing performance of the Aspero 5 will be improving in the next Zwift patch and for now it’s not classed as a top tier bike, so upgrade stage distance targets are lower and Zwift will maintain any upgrade stages after the patch.
What a messy two days, with swapping out Pas Gravel stage 1 after thousands have raced it and now the Aspero 5 has had a nerfed performance release that will benefit anyone able to upgrade it over the next two weeks.
As @Aoi_Niigaki said - if I were upgrading the older Grail to get a Halo bike, I may not care what the newer Grail does. It may be simply a path to the larger goal.
I hope you’re not upgrading the Grail to get a halo bike, because there isn’t one from Canyon.
Yes, I know you’re just trying to make a point, but I also think that there’s got to be a way to get ride of all these extra bikes completely without ruining someone’s progress toward a goal at the same time. I’m not exactly sure what that is, but I’d definitely be fine with having some unused bikes removed from my garage (my wife needs the space to set up a gym in there! )
When do the gravel halo bikes arrive? 8000km of gravel riding and huge amounts of drops?
Worse is the special unlocks for bikes or wheel options on some group of events, too bad if you have your own training or challenge, you have to throw that out the window or risk injury to do the extra events to get the unlocks. I suppose some folks just fire up their bot rather than do the extra riding.
The challenge with the red wheel colour and that Pinarello unlock I’ll probably miss as I have my own challenge for the year.
What about folks who have special colour schemes of those bikes or a team version that was applied to their account? I know I have a special version that I wouldn’t want to lose.
Shooj, isn’t the “Pinarello 2015 Dogma 8” (I have it listed in my frame & wheelset master list spreadsheet as the “Pinarello Dogma F8”) the frame that is awarded for completing 90% of the Tour Of Italy challenge? ZI article here: Zwift “Tour Italy” challenge details | Zwift Insider
What are you folks @ Zwift doing? Eliminating the challenge itself or awarding another Pinarello frame in its’ place for completing that milestone in the challenge?
