Jarvis Island Expansion [November 2024]

To help celebrate our 10 year anniversary, we are taking you back to 2014!

Jarvis Island was the very first route in Zwift during our beta days and it’s back and better than ever, with 5 km of new road off the coast of the Volcano Mountain.

Starting on November 12 @ 15:00 UTC/09:00 PT, you can take a trip back in time through Jarvis Island. You can explore the new routes offered on Jarvis Island or jump in with Stage 5 of Tour of Watopia. While the routes used in this stage are available before then, riding them won’t count towards Stage 5 (XP or stage progression) until November 12, 2024 @ 17:00 UTC when the group events start. To learn more about Tour of Watopia, click here.

To see the new routes, please make sure your Zwift App is up to date. You can learn more about checking your Zwift App Version here.

There will be seven new routes to look forward to with badges to collect:

  • Deca Dash
  • Waisted 8
  • Loopin Lava
  • The Classic
  • Coast to Coast
  • Triple Twists
  • The Classic Run

Appreciate the FYI. Embedded video is fixed.

Screengrab from the video. It looks like the basic shadows on Ultra profile have been removed?

That screengrab is from the original Jarvis. We no longer use the OG Big Z logo.

Are the KOM and Sprint segments supposed to be called Mystery 01 and Mystery 02, respectively?

Yes, the expansion was sponsored by Toyah Wilcox. :rofl: :wink:

Are the giant stone structures that don’t exist anymore going to remain in the mini map?

They are named properly in game version 1.78, which is in phased rollout this week.

Deca Dash is the worst. Literally everyone riding hates this stage. Do better Zwift.

I didn’t hate it. Not sure I’ll do it again but it would be a great basis for one of the route-based workouts promised a few years ago.

Oh who am I kidding there’ll be some big mass start race and I’ll bury myself doing it at some point.

There must be more detail somewhere else. I looked this overview of the routes and distances, and it’s not making sense to me. DecaDash looks the same as the Classic but 6x longer. The longer looking routes fall somewhere in the middle as far as distance, etc. etc

Deca Dash loops through the island a bunch of times…

I was hoping to see Jarvis on Jarvis Island… maybe I missed it.
(EDIT: I missed it. You can see Jarvis at the intersection once you enter the island)

The island reveal while riding towards it was nice :slight_smile:
I’d like to see an extra entrance/exit that connects Jarvis island with the Jungle though…
