Game update v 1.70 [July 2024]

For the love of all things holy, please, please, please allow the KICKR Climb to simulate the actual gradient when going downhill in the game!

Example: Going down a -8% in game = only -4% on the Climb. Zwift programming only allows the climb to simulate half of the actually negative gradient.

Zwift is the only one that does this.

Thank you.

Hi!
I would love to see interval averages in real time as an option so that I know what my average power for each interval is when I am doing a workout and if I should coast / push harder to achieve my watt goal!

Can I double this. It would also be great if Zwift could work with Apple to add Zwift rides into Apple fitness.

ERG mode doesn’t work in workouts. Using current firmware for wahoo kickr and did spin down in wahoo app.

Hi, I didn’t know if this has been reported…

Anyone finding their Wahoo kickr bike looses the steering function/gear selection?
I find when i lose it, i have to power off the bike and turn it back on.

Is this a zwift issue??

First ride after update on iPad Air 5th gen. Did the New York Grand Central circuit and the graphics were extremely choppy. First time doing that route (I’ve only been zwifting for a few weeks). Never had choppy graphics like that before. using a Zwift ride and a heart rate monitor.

Restarted my iPad and ride today was great so :man_shrugging:

Hey, I use Kickr Bike Shift, so I don’t fully know if there are any notable differences in firmware or hardware between both bikes but since I ride this bike I didn’t have any issues with steering or gears. I run Zwift on MacOS and iOS, so maybe it’s platform specific problem?

I’m having trouble logging into Zwift after this update. I enter my id and password and it starts to go through the “Log in” process, but gets to the “Login successful. Ride on” message and just stays there as if is stuck…

What about your other buttons (U turn, powerup use, manual tilt, manual flywheel brake).
Not having any issues here, so I’m thinking this is a hardware issue on your side in particular.

If you’re losing connection to all hood functions, might want to disconnect them, and take some alcohol to the connectors and reinsert them.

What version of the Kickr do you have? I had a v1 and gearing was an HW fault/ issue. I swapped those for two refurbished V1s. Eventually they failed too. Wahoo thankfully upgraded me to a V2 16 months ago and it’s been rock solid since.

since I installed this update on windows 11, I can’t pair my Wahoo kickr through direct connect. Only Ant+ and bluetooth seem to be working lately.

This update has been out for long enough that we would have heard more reports if this were a general problem related to the update. Try contacting Wahoo support and they should help you work through it.

How about taking this a step further and retroactively sign people up for the Everest Challenge?

I’ve had mine for several years so it doesn’t necessarily affect me, but absolutely no reason to not give it to those people that have been riding for years without knowing the “secret”.

That’s what they are doing, provided the user has not selected a different challenge already. Or do you mean just give them the bike if they’ve done the elevation?

Yes. Count any elevation they’ve done to date toward the Everest Challenge as if that challenge had been selected since day 1. If they’ve logged enough elevation to get the Tron bike, then give them the bike. Tron is a legitimate competitive advantage in most any race - really makes no sense to withhold it because someone didn’t have Zwift insider knowledge (see what I did there?) back when they started Zwifting.

In fact, why tie it to the challenge at all? Tie it to raw elevation achieved in game.
