This Season on Zwift [September 2025]

But with them hiding the route badges of new roads it has taken away much excitement here for new stuff

Ah, I missed the part there is no braking button with these.

Wonder if they could “fix” that in a later update by holding two buttons simultaneously??? ZHQ should look into doing this; as it appears to be the only thing lost over the OG controllers / Ride controllers.

Oh and just for the sake of the TLDW/R from the GPL video; “100” hours of battery life; using CR2032

GPLama said on the video that there is another Zwift hardware coming later this month so maybe it is something along the lines of anything new for the Ride. Also Wahoo is releasing new Kickr Core so it could just be something for it.

Do we now get the v2 clickers for free when we reach level 85 ?

that’s a good question.

I would suspect not… yet.

I did an email survey and they returned with a code for free controllers; I imagine they’re still trying to clear inventory (and might be for a while).

Sorry, but you don’t. Running is free on Zwift.

I never said they weren’t a success, they were sold on the basis that we could use steering and braking in races etc that was not the case as we couldn’t use them in wtrl for example

Some interesting stuff in the Zwift Insider article, on racing and anti-cheating, that’s not mentioned in Zwift’s info as far as I can see:

The latest changes to Zwift Racing Score have seen ‘score decay’ introduced for racers who haven’t competed in the last 30 days, updated seed scores based on your most recent personal bests (inside or outside of races), and a new option for event organisers to categorise riders by their 30-day best score, not just their current score. These changes ensure your score reflects your current peak fitness, instantly rewards strong performances, keeps matchmaking dynamic, and makes races feel fairer and more competitive for everyone on the start line.

To help keep racing fairer, Zwift is also rolling out new anti-botting detection. This is live and has been actively identifying suspicious activity. Accounts flagged by this technology are moving through our standard enforcement pipeline, helping us clean up racing, protect leaderboard integrity, and stop unfair XP farming. The same system is laying the groundwork for a new generation of anti-cheating technology designed to detect and eliminate unrealistic performances and make racing on Zwift even more authentic over time.

Wow! New roads in New York seems exciting and 31 NEW KM (19 MILES!!!) Can’t wait to see this! Just curious if Watopia is permanently done with and we’ll see no more expansions from it. Just feel like EVENTUALLY it could use more coastlines (East Coast around the desert, West around the Alpe,) and other roads as well. Whatever happens, excited to see, Zwift! Ride On!

What is the point of new roads in minor worlds if they are only available to ride a few days each month?

France had new road added recently, only available to free ride for 4 days this month.

Can we please have a hill that’s the equivalent of a Strava cat3 (525-1050 feet at 3%+ average) in these new New York roads?!

As far as I’m aware, not a single one in Zwift after all these years.

How do we get that light Rhino jersey I see on the Zwift Insider post ?

race for a rhino team

I have paid from day one knowing the platform provides both, plus for Wahoo Run you have to pay for the incline which I have so yes you do pay for that service.

Actually not even a hack anymore; you can use the MyList feature on Companion to add non-event-only routes at any time.

What on earth do you mean? The picture is showing a raw watts result, not a w/kg result, so changing weight would do nothing.

Speaking of; can we take a moment and actually appreciate the UI here for just… a split second.

To me it looks “correct” for once.

The only thing I can think or feel like this is missing would be some kind of graphical bar to compare more visually without having to read numbers.

Like a fill up bar that you can “break” / go through if you’re surpassing your PR.
Other than that… clean… simple; in your face relevance.
