Hello,
I did a test and my FTP in zwift is now 254 (weight 72kg)
But I’m staying in group C.
For what ?
THANKS
Hi @Matthieu_Champfailly, welcome to the forums.
Your race category is determined by many factors, if you log into zwift.com and go to your “my feed” scroll down a little and on the right hand side you will see a “fitness” section with your race category and all the metrics they have used to determine your category.
Race category is determined by zFTP, not FTP. Pretend you didn’t see the letters “FTP” in “zFTP” because it’s actually something else, sort of a secret formula that reads data from all of your rides. It is not based on the number that comes out of an FTP test.
If the test you did was a ramp test, that could be a reason why.
You might be interested in reading these support documents, but if that’s too boring you can just race and enjoy crushing the Cs or getting crushed by the Bs. The choice is yours.
Hi @Matthieu_Champfailly, Welcome to the Zwift Forums!
Fernanda here, part of the support specialist team at Zwift.
I’m glad you brought your questions regarding the FTP results on your category classification to this space, in this case, first I want to let you know that the FTP test is not part of the fitness metric we used for the category enforcement, we based this on the zFTP and the zMAP, using your power curve data captured in Zwift for all activities over the previous 90 days.
As @Mike_Rowe1 shared with you, You can view your pace group in the FITNESS section of your feed on zwift.com.
I wil like to share with you our useful article on Category Enforcement, here you can find the frequent questions on how we used your fitness data. But also, take a look at the numbers you will need to take into consideration for you to check your category, in this chart.
On the other hand, the FTP test is only used to determine the difficulty of any workouts you do.
I hope you find this information useful!
Keep enjoying your rides.
