Just did a ride on the jungle loop and noticed that my speed was much slower maybe 4kmh average. Was hard to crack 30kmh on some of the downhill sections and uphill speed was also slower. As soon as I left the jungle and back on the road speeds came back to normal. Is this a new setting in Zwift for…

Explained here: [image] Game Update: Oct 1, 2019 Various wheels and tires now have different rolling resistance based on the surface they are rolling on. IE, a mountain bike or gravel tire may be the best on the Jungle circuit, while a road/TT bike is fastest on the tarmac. More to come here in …

Hmmm, so when you do the jungle loop from the start banner you are better off when you change your tyres 2 times during the ride. I think that Zwift can better invest their time in other features.

Was wondering the same thing yesterday… so how will we beat our previous PRs? Will Zwift adjust them?

MTB courses/routes would be nice but making the jungle route gravel only :nauseated_face::sleepy: … i would prefer the way it was before the update. so in this case make the jungle circuit asphalt - back to normal.

Do we even access to any gravel bikes/wheels? The only thing I can think of at the moment would be the MTB. Maybe gravel bikes will come in the future and maybe even some dedicated gravel courses/world. The notes from the last update mention new starting pens at the Jungle circuit which would make …

I’m not overly concerned about change but in this case it’s not realistic. I often ride gravel on my road bike. I would be just as fast on a dirt road as on my 29er hard tail if not faster, actually definitely faster. The jungle loop is just a dirt road, not a single track mtb trail.

I asked zwift about this as I was getting a marked reduction in virtual speed as soon as I arrived at the jungle loop. They said “we have added a special traction, since you are on a jungle route”. This “special traction” is not being picked up by my Bkool trainer, so my actual wheel speed is at t…

I was so perplexed as to how I had lost about 5 minutes on my previous PB. It made no sense at all. This is good news!

Just do a bike change as you enter the Jungle area, the time saved will be more than the time lost in the change. From reading the reports the MTB bike is near 2 minutes faster then the Tron bike. A change takes about 30 seconds. If the Pros can do - you can do it.
