The jump between Pace Partners is much too big. In my own case, I tend to ride around 1.8-1.9 W/kg. D Diesel is comfortable, but C. Cadence is too fast. My friend who got me hooked on Zwift had the same complaint (though regarding C and B). I propose that there should be Pace Partners at 1.5, 2.0, 2…

I agree with Wannie. I’m 66 kg and have to put out 106 Watts which is 1.6 W/kg. Could that be a matter of bike choice? My 106 Watts correspond to the Tron-Bike.

I’m 70kg and generally have to ride at 2.4/2.5 to stay with Coco. I think the D Partner might be a slightly different story because of his weight (we will review this) Tron bike will be absolutely fine. I would work on positioning yourself just ahead of the Pace Partner for the best benefit of the…

Thanks for the quick reply! That could be one or the reason. It’s really hard to stay close to Diesel on inclines. When I’m 30 m ahead of him on top, I have to wait and if this isn’t perfect timed, he overtakes me downhill with much higher speed so that I have to push hard to get back to the group. …

Yeah, definitely tough. We’ll look at having lower weighted Pace Partners in the future (the average D Zwifter weighs 75kg and I think DD is 85)

Pace partner tuning…. Instead of having a pace partner for every possible power bracket would it be possible to go back down to 4 per world again but have each with resistance scale? In workout mode on the companion, you can adjust the bias relative to your ftp, would it be possible to have the sam…

I know this is a bit of necropost since there are more pace partner now, but this is kind of an issue. I know I’m at the more extreme end at 120-kg and my FTP is 220-W. I really like the aspect of using pace partners, but it’s hard to get an effective session with them. With D. Duster, 130-W is way …

Diesel will drop to about 112 watts when Zwift changes his virtual weight to 75kg. This might help a bit, at least on flatter routes you should be ok.
