What's New? Zwift Game

We’ve heard the feedback that being dropped into default Virtual Gear 8 after you turn off Watt Lock is too low a gear. We’ll now return you to your last pre-lock gear for a potentially smoother transition back to SIM mode.

For Zwift Ride users: the bottom Drop Buttons are user-configurable to toggle Watt Lock on or off in the Game settings > Hardware tab.

  • Other assignable functions trigger Powerups, Rideon Bombs, or Splits.
  • Note: your Ride controllers must be paired for this setting to appear in the Hardware tab.

No keyboard shortcut for Watt Lock? Sad… Shouldn’t be that hard to add, Zwift supports a number of shortcuts but really need to allow anything in the Action Bar to be invoked via keyboard.
