Gasoun

Gasoun is the second planet from Aardan's sun. It is predominantly a jungle world with a single ocean. It is a planet that is mostly uninhabitable by immigrating species, the Qatoreg that live there are a completely different species to that on Qato but they have evolved in a similar way to the Qatoreg and were therefore classified with them.

## Description

The planet is a large in comparison to the others in the system. It has a subtropical climate hence with violent storms, hence the jungle has been able to thrive.

The atmosphere of the planet is 87% carbon dioxide allowing for rapid plant growth and an inability for many species to inhabit the surface.

The single ocean is acidic from carbon dioxide saturation meaning there is no life below the surface. The ocean itself covers 12% of the planets surface.

The Kuios natives are able to breath the carbon dioxide but the Qatoreg immigrants that mine small areas for fuels and other resources require breathing apparatuses and can only stay on planet for a month at any one time.

## History

Gasoun has very little history as it was left untouched for thousands of years after the Qatoreg learned of the atmosphere.

The Kuios natives built a temple deep in the jungles, but it has never been found and rumoured to have been built millennia ago by the first generation.

In more recent years Qatoreg sent teams down with appropriate equipment and found the planet to be rich in medicinal plants and fuel reserves below ground.

The Kuios were not pleased to have their sacred ground defiled with machinery but a pact was formed indicating the Qatoreg would leave after 75 years of mining some resources.

An orbital station was built above Gasoun as a means of observing and contact other systems. The station also had numerous shield generators and weapons platforms and acted as the first line of defense against invasive forces.

What is Zwift?

Zwift is a virtual cycling/running world (ie. game or app) where you can link your indoor smart trainer/smart treadmill to simulate and monitor your indoor cycling, running or triathlete activity. By linking to Zwift with your smart trainer, you can ride/run and compete against others from around the globe in a virtual world that makes indoor training fun and exciting. Zwift blends the fun of video games with the intensity of training to help you improve skills and have social interaction with others, if you want. Basically, Zwift is an online training and racing program.

Zwift provides specific workouts for training goals, training plans for loftier goals, social interaction while training as desired, group and event rides as well as competitive racing for all levels. It features a multitude of gamified elements that encourage you to ride longer and harder, with the goal of increasing your fitness. Zwift’s catchphrase is ‘Fun is fast’.

### How does it work?

Everything in Zwift is based around power — namely the amount of watts you can generate turning the pedals on your bicycle. Zwift takes the input from your bike – either via a power meter, a smart trainer or just a speed/cadence sensor using ANT+ or Bluetooth – and uses an algorithm to translate your input data into your avatar’s speed on the virtual course. It takes into account your weight, your power or calculated power, the road gradient and the draft, or lack thereof, from other riders. You can use Zwift on a computer (PC or Mac), an iPhone, an iPad or an Android smartphone or tablet. Zwift is now also compatible with Apple TV, so if you’ve got one of those, you can set yourself up right in front of the TV.

### How Much Does Zwift Cost?

Zwift offers a free 7 day trial after which it currently charges a monthly fee of $14.99 US. You can cancel at any time or suspend your account for a period of time (ie. if exclusively cycling outdoors during the summer months). As of December 2023, Zwift now offers an annual plan at $149.99 per year which is a savings of two months cost over the monthly plan. Currently, there is no 'family' plan and the cost is for each individual account.
Sprint Segment

A sprint segment is a short, typically flat segment on Zwift, with a length between 400m and 200m. Sprint segments are found on each of the three courses. Leaders of sprint segments wear the Green Jersey. The finishing arch of a sprint segment is also green.

## Segments

* Watopia Sprint/ Watopia Sprint Reverse - Watopia
* Monument Avenue Sprint - Richmond
* Broad St Sprint - Richmond
* The Mall Sprint/ The Mall Sprint Reverse - London
Higrotie

The Higrotie are a species of large bipedal ungulates notorious in the galaxy for unprovoked attacks and frequent invasions of lesser planets.

## Biology and appearance

Higrotie have large bulbous bodies that are disproportional to the rest of them. They have short, stumpy, yet powerful, legs with elephantine feet. Their arms appear shorter than they are due to the body and have a thumb and two fingers - at some point they had four fingers but throughout evolution they fused. Their heads are small and dome shaped with large mouths, small eyes and wide noses. Males of the Bull variation have multiple tusks that pierce their cheeks as they grow.

Females are generally smaller shorter than males but weight much more due to their mammary glands for rearing young. Females are also more human in appearance with softer, less swine, facial features. They also have longer legs and much slender builds compared to males. Females are also burgundy in colour compared to the males shades of pink and grey.

## Culture and community

The Higrotie species is separated into tribes, each left by a Chief. Collectively, however, all tribes are indirectly ruled by the most powerful of tribes, the leader of which becomes Supreme Chieftain. Clashes between tribes are more often than not, arranged as a test of the strongest tribe.

During mating rituals males in individual tribes compete with one another for females who are hogtied during this period and kept merely for breeding purposes. These rituals last around a week after which there is a month during which the partners spend breeding, however, it is during this period that unsuccessful males will sneak into the huts of successful males and attempt to kill the males and rape the females themselves.

There are rumours of an all female tribe that reside in the Ash Plains. Though the tribe has no name they are known to steal females from other tribes during raids. Though their beliefs are unknown, their actions suggest they are against the mating rituals.

## History

The Higrotie were regarded as unintelligent when they were first discover as they had not yet developed space travel. However, during that time many tribes were struggling with environmental problems that resulted in the deaths of their livestock.
Galactic Channel Network

The GCN was set up 3697 PHE. Each planet that signed for the Network had a satellite specific to a new FG frequency constructed in the orbit of each planet. These satellites also had unique codes for individual planetary contacts as well as inaccessible grid networks to the nearest systems satellites for operation checks.

## bio

Kratos was a Ta-Agoran living in Zorrin Nui after the final battle between Mata Nui and Makuta. He worked as a guard, protecting caravans as they traveled from Zorrin Nui to other cities and villages. One day, however, the caravan he was protecting were attacked by a band of Bone Hunters. During the struggle, one of the contents of the caravan, a Toa Stone, transformed Kratos into a Toa of Fire. With his new-found powers, Kratos defeated the Bone Hunters, keeping all of the Agoran safe. After returning to Zorrin Nui with the caravan, Kratos found that his city being attacked by a Skakdi rebellion. Kratos, along with two other Toa, Twilis, a Toa of Light, and Feltha, a Toa of Stone, fought the army of Skakdi. Feltha died during the battle, and Twilis suffered from internal bleeding, but Kratos was able to finish the battle, single handedly defeating the army's general, Ergox, a Skakdi of Ice. It was revealed that an even larger Skakdi army was approaching Zorrin Nui, so the city's Turaga, Kantis, requested a number of Toa to help protect the city. Joining Twilis and Kratos, the former recovering from his injury, were Tamina, a Toa of Water, Poldren, a Toa of Stone, and Vancus, a Toa of Air. The five of them fought the army, with Kratos defeating the army's leader, Ragnog, a Skakdi of Iron. After this victory, the five of them were asked to become the official Toa of Zorrin Nui, Kratos being the first to accept. Having won these victories, especially by himself, made Kratos arrogant, but proved his might through many victories against thieves, Rahi, among other threats. His prowess made him a favorite among Kantis and the Agoran in Zorrin Nui, although strained his relationship with Twilis, who thought Kratos was taking all of the praise that he and the others deserved. During this time, Kratos began developing a relationship with Tamina, although Tamina considered Kratos to be only a friend.
Throughout the actions of Kratos's team and many others, peace was maintained through Spherus Magna, heralding a new Golden Age for the Agoran population, lasting nearly 50,000 years. However, that peace will be shattered soon enough
Leaderboard

## Leaderboards

A **leaderboard** is a real-time list of the fastest riders for a segment. The fastest rider on a leaderboard wears the Leader's Jersey for that segment. In order to appear on a leaderboard, a rider must still be online and have completed the segment at least once in the past 60 minutes. The leaderboards available vary from course to course.

Leaderboards alternate through 2-3 different filters. Leaderboards show live results for overall rankings or a list of personal times over the last 30 days. For female riders, a third filter shows live overall women's rankings for a segment.

TODO: list and link all segments that have leaderboards
Glasses

Glasses are part of the virtual cycling apparel that your avatar wears while riding in Zwift. These are simply for decoration or fashion as the glasses do not impact the performance of the rider in Zwift. Glasses can be selected from the Home screen by selecting the Garage icon then the headgear icon from the 'My Garage' screen. They can also be selected in-game by right clicking in the game area, selecting the 'Menu' button, then clicking the 'Garage' icon from the 'Paused' screen.

Gry

The Gry are the native species of the planet EDIT in the EDIT system. They have not developed full space travel as it is too awkward for lifeforms of their shape to design comfortable vessels, but they are highly knowledgeable of galactic affairs and even have seats of responsibility in important conferences in other allied systems.

## Biology and appearance

The Gry are a species of Therapods with mammalian characteristics like those of felines. Gry are cold blooded omnivores with a coat of fur.

Their forearms, unlike regular Therapods, are much longer with five fingered hands capable of grabbing and holding onto things. Each hand has two thumbs, one on either side, and three central fingers.

Females are generally smaller than the males and have a series of mammary glands along their underside for feeding their young which, like mammals, are born live in litters of four to seven young.

Jungle adapted Gry have darker fur colours whereas desert adapted members have lighter fur.

## Communities

The Gry live in large technologically advanced cities, each family of Gry is strongly bonded to the next which forms an overall network of family-like relationships that spread throughout the regions of their planet.

There are no records in Gry archives of wars of any kind, leading to other species deeming them Porphyrions pacifists as they are the only known species without large scale documented conflict.

Although pacifists it had been recorded that Gry were once cannibals, detailed historical documents speaks of the desert Gry to hunt, kill and eat other Gry families when the particularly cold winters cause a shortage of food.

## History

The Gry live in a system located within the Edge region.

Billuh

Name: Billuh

Gender: Male

Universe: Bionicle

Species: Glatorian

Element: Jungle

Weapon: Forest Blade, Thornaxx Launcher

Side: Good

Three Words to Describe: Old, Stern, Caring

## bio

Billuh was among the first Glatorian living on the planet of Spherus Magna, and served in the Jungle Tribe underneath the rule of the Element Lord of Jungle, serving as the Lord's personal bodyguard. Whenever he wasn't protecting his leader, he was often spending time with the other Glatorian in the other tribes, such as Nihian and Arkon. However, when the Core War began, Billuh was forced to fight against his friends. Billuh did prove to be an efficient warrior, leading the Jungle Tribe in many battles. During one battle agains the Skrall general Skarris, Gennis attempted to pull off a special move, the "Triple Kick Flip." Unfortunately, it caused him to dislocate his leg, taking him out of the action for several months. However, before the battle was over, Gennis was able to break Skarris's ripcage, causing a mortal wound as well for the general. Shortly after his recovery, Billuh took note of a young Glatorian, Gennis. Gennis was rather inexperienced, and the Billuh had to save him several times. Billuh offered Gennis to train him, which the latter accepted, becoming and efficient warrior forming a father/son relationship with the older warrior. However, this relationship made his somewhat overprotective and nagging, as he wanted to keep Gennis safe. During one battle, Billuh was captured by Arkon, his friend from the Fire Tribe. Arkon wanted to keep him and Nihian, whom he had also captured safe from the war so he didn't have to fight them. Although Billuh argued against him at first, he eventually conceded. Gennis wanted to save his mentor and drove to the enemy base to rescue him. When Gennis had arrived, Arkon and Billuh convinced him that the other tribes were not as bad as what some of the other Glatorian and Agori said. With this in mind, Gennis tried to convince his tribe to make amends and unite with the other tribes, but to no avail. Unfortunately shortly after this, the Shattering split Spherus Magna into three pieces. With the war over, the tribes split to rebuild, and soon the Glatorian system was built to stop further wars from happening. Billuh, along with Gennis, became notable Glatorians for the Jungle Tribe, winning many battles for them. When Billuh wasn't fighting, he was training Gennis, although Gennis quickly got tired of Gennis's nagging. Regardless, Gennis continues to serve the Jungle Tribe, ready to protect it when necessary. And soon, his power will be needed more than ever.
Paris

Paris Map

In July 2020, Zwift released a small but special Paris map to go with the larger France map created for the inaugural Virtual Tour de France. Paris’ Champs-Élysées circuit may only be 6.6km long, but it’s packed with famous sights and memories of past Tours de France.

As you ride under the lap banner for the Champs-Élysées route, take a deep breath, look around, and smile: you’re riding on one of the world’s most famous avenues! Known by tourists for its Arc de Triomphe as well as cafés, theaters, and luxury shops, the Avenue des Champs-Élysées is well-known in the cycling world because it hosts the final stage of each year’s Tour de France.

Since 1975, these cobbles have hosted the world’s top riders for one last highly-contested sprint finish. As the most high-profile sprint finish in all of cycling, a win on Champs-Élysées makes a welcome addition to any sprinter’s palmarès!

## Geography

Watching pros race it, you may think Champs-Élysées is a flat course. But the truth is, it’s got a bit of a climb on each lap, beginning just after the lap banner. Montée des Champs Elysées is neither steep nor long, but in a race you can expect attacks here *every lap!* The Lutece Sprint is also included in this short climb. If you’ve got the watts per kilo to grab green, go for it!

The cobbles level off as you arrive at Place Charles de Gaulle, the gigantic traffic circle that surrounds the Arc de Triomphe. Napoleon himself commissioned the triumphal arch in 1806 to celebrate the French army’s military achievements. Enjoy the view as you make your way around, then brace for speed as you head downhill! Look ahead toward the other end of your circuit for the Obelisk of Luxor, located in the Place de la Concorde. This obelisk is one of two built to stand on either side of the entrance to Egypt’s Luxor Template during the reign of Ramesses II. One obelisk remains on location in Egypt, while the other is here in Paris. The Eiffel Tower is also visible off to your right, in the distance. As the road flattens you may spot the Grand Palais and Petit Palais to your right. The road turns right to take you around Place de la Concorde and Jardin des Tuileries. This is the area where team buses set up each year, and we’ve turned it into an esports expo with spectators, tents, and a big screen! The plaza and buildings to your right as you dip underground into the parking garage is the Louvre Museum, pre-pyramid. Look for the historic hot-air balloon floating above the plaza!

## Routes

Below are the available routes in Paris. See the Master Route List for an overview of all routes, distances, elevation and XP.

Clicking route links will show a detailed description, multiple maps & details of the specific route on Zwift Insider.
Segment

# REVERSE EPIC KOM

At 6km at 6.0% the Reverse Epic KOM is the second-hardest climb on Watopia only behind the Alpe d'Zwift. The Reverse Epic KOM is a Category 2 Climb. The KOM jersey design has a goat and blue polka-dots on it. The climbs starts with several switchbacks before reaching the turn for the Mayan Jungle. Next you rapidly ascend several other switchbacks hitting the 100m before hitting the snowline. Climb past the 200m mark, ski lifts and alpine village before the 300m mark right before the turn for the challenging Radio Tower climb. As you near the summit the gradient begins to flatten slightly right before the finish.
Garage

The 'garage' in Zwift is where all your virtual equipment resides. The garage is also the current location for customizing your avatar. The garage houses virtual items such as: Bikes, Wheels, Headgear, Glasses, Jerseys, Gloves, Socks, Shoes and Avatar Customization. Zwift will start you out with some basic items to get you started. As you ride more, you will earn drops with which you can buy better frames and wheels. Any items you earn or are rewarded with during in-game rides and events will show up in your garage in their appropriate category.

You can access your garage in two ways. First, from the home screen before goin in-game, select the garage icon in the upper right. This will open access to both 'My Garage' and to the drop shop. The second method to access your garage while in-game, is to right click on the game play screen to bring up the 'menu' button. Clicking the menu button will open the 'Paused' window. The garage button is located on the right side of the window.

Once you're in your garage, select a category to select an item to outfit your avatar. At this time, only frames and wheels can be purchased using drops you earn while riding. All other items are earned or awarded during rides and events. You can change you avatars look (jerseys, headgear, glasses, gloves, socks and shoes) at any time before or during your ride/run. The item you currently have selected with show up with a highlighted box and green checkmark next to it. However, frames and wheels can only be changed when your avatar is at a complete stop. This means you should pick your choice of frame and wheels prior to beginning your ride or expect to stop completely during your ride to make a change of these two items. Some frames have a paint or color slider option available. This option to change paint or color will be available when you make your frame selection.

At this time, the garage does not have any sorting or searching features. Items like jerseys may be placed in a somewhat random or chronological order making finding a specific item difficult once you've acquired lots of them. There is no current method of removing items from your garage.
Makuri Islands

Map of Makuri Islands

Makuri Islands is an entirely new Zwift world primed for future expansion. The first map within Makuri Islands was Yumezi, released in May 2021. It is a fantastical countryside destination, inspired by Japanese culture. In October 2021, Neokyo was released and designed to introduce the fast-paced nature of city living to Makuri Islands. In September of 2022, Zwift released its newest Makuri expansion call Urukazi.

The spirit of an ancient land is calling. Yumezi’s tranquil forests have been still and quiet for years but from today, a new energy will be felt as its roads and gravel trails will be opened to Zwifters for exploration by bike or by foot. Yumezi (yu-meh-zi ᐧ 夢路) means “path to dreams.” Yumezi is a Japanese haiku-inspired name, with its two characters (夢路) taken from a poem by renowned Meiji-era poet, Shiki Masaoka.

Neokyo is designed to introduce the fast-paced nature of city living to Makuri Islands, fast flat roads, towering buildings, eye-popping neon billboards, nighttime revellers and arcade halls make Neokyo a perfect place to test your legs and ride fast.

Urukazi is the combination of two Okinawan words — “uru” means “shore,” and “kazi” means “breeze.” The combination of the two words is meant to evoke the serene, untouched character of the Southern Japanese archipelago. On the terrain of Urukazi, you’ll find a Zwifty interpretation of those islands’ scenery, as you ride pavement, gravel, and a new type of surface not yet found anywhere else on Zwift.

## Geography

Yumezi boasts a wide variety of road types from tight, flat, winding roads ideal for fast races to dirt roads and cobbled market streets. Zwifters exploring the new map will discover lush green fields, ginkgo forests bristling with life and mystical creatures, cherry blossom trees, gushing waterfalls and ancient temples. This new map really is one for the senses, so why not hide your display for the first ride and soak in the scenery?

Neokyo takes inspiration from Japan’s major cities, vibrant colors, popping neon lights and glistening fast roads ensure this nighttime city is anything but dark. Neokyo city connects with existing Yumezi routes. The newly added routes look to be flat and fast, with several sprint points and neon lights lining the virtual roads.

## Routes

Below are the available routes in Makuri Islands. See the Master Route List for an overview of all routes, distances, elevation and XP.

Each route below is linked to a detailed page of that route on Zwift Insider.
Epic KOM

The Epic KOM is a climb segment on the Watopia course. The climb was added as an extension to Watopia in March 2016. At 9.5km in length it remains the longest verified climb segment on Zwift. The climb has a total elevation gain of 414m, with an average gradient of 3.9% and a max of 9%. The summit sits at an elevation of 372m.

The climb resembles an alpine climb in both its length and its gradient. The base of the climb is tropical, but around 250m the road becomes flanked by snow. About 1/3 of the way up the climb passes through an alpine village. A mountain goat watches over the finish line.

The rider online with the fastest time up the Epic KOM becomes the wearer of the Epic KOM Jersey. It is blue polka dot jersey with an emblem of a goat. The fastest female rider on the Epic KOM becomes the wearer of the Epic QOM jersey, which looks similar.
Emperor

Real Name: Unknown

Alias: "Emperor" (formerly "Frostbite")

Gender: Male

Universe: Bionicle

Species: Cancryo

Element: Ice

Weapons: Freeze Bolts, Arm-Mounted Blades

Side: Evil

Three Words to Describe: Cold, Intelligent, Powerful

## bio

The being known as "Emperor" wasn't always called that. He lived on the continent of Acitratna, a land of bitter cold and powerful warriors. The Cancryo were often known for their powerful bodies and ferocious nature. "Emperor" was one of these warriors, from the Friga Clan. Despite living in a clan though, there was often conflict between the members of each clan. Like all Cancryo, Emperor had a survival of the fittest mentality. Emperor's father, Cridalan, was an expert manipulator, and often taught his son his tricks in order for them to survive, giving Emperor a great intellect. One day, the Friga Clan fought against another clan, the Glatus Clan. The Glatus Clan had more numbers, and wiped out the Friga Clan, including Cridalan. Emperor was the only one to escape, and managed to steal a boat from a traveler, leaving Acitratna. Shortly leaving the island, Emperor found himself working for the Dark Hunters. The Shadowed One had heard about the power the Cancryo had, and offered Emperor a position in the organization. Having nowhere to go, Emperor accepted, under the code name of "Frostbite." During the first year as a Dark Hunter, "Frostbite" proved to be powerful, never failing his missions and even rising up the ranks in the Dark Hunters. However, "Frostbite" also proved to be difficult to work with, even manipulating his fellow Hunters. However, he was so efficient and never outright challenged the Shadowed One that he kept the Cancryo alive. "Frostbite's" power especially became apparent during the war against the Brotherhood of Makuta, with Emperor often leading the charge. "Frostbite" is also one the few Dark Hunters to kill a Makuta. As the years went on, "Frostbite" continued to rise up the ranks, eventually becoming one of the most powerful of the Hunters, both in power and rank, only below Sentrak, Voporak, and the Shadowed One himself. He endured most of the events in the Matoran Universe, including Makuta Terridax's takeover of the Matoran Universe and Spherus Magna's reformation. He was with the Shadowed One after the reformation, and helped the Hunters for many years. However, the Toa raided the Dark Hunter fortress, causing the Shadowed One, as well as many Hunters to die. The ones who survived scattered across Spherus Magna. "Frostbite" himself managed to escape alongside two other Hunters, "Tinkerer" and "Devastator." For several years, the three of them traveled across the land, fighting whoever got in their way to survive. Angry at the Toa, "Frostbite" vowed to reform the Dark Hunters and take control of Spherus Magna. He slowly found other Dark Hunters and hired new ones, eventually building a new base on Odina, where no one could find them. Now calling himself "Emperor," he is plotting a new plan to control the planet, this time involving the Great Disks and perhaps a legendary mask...
Volcano Climb

The Volcano Climb is a climb segment on the Watopia course. The climb was released in March 2017 as a further addition the Volcano Expansion released in January 2017. The climb has a total elevation gain of 126m, with an average gradient of 3%. The summit sits at an elevation of 132m.

The climb corkscrews up the side of an active volcano, finishing at the crater at the top. The climb is a dead end. After a loop around the summit crater riders descend the same road they climbed.

The rider online with the fastest time up the Volcano climb becomes the wearer of the Volcano Jersey. It is an orangeish red jersey featuring a volcanic image.
Gloves

Gloves are part of the virtual cycling apparel that your avatar wears while riding in Zwift. These are simply for decoration or fashion as the gloves does not impact the performance of the rider in Zwift. Gloves can be selected from the Home screen by selecting the Garage icon then the gloves icon from the 'My Garage' screen.

Levels

Zwift has a level system in place for all cyclists and runners. Everyone begins at level 1 and moves up levels as they accumulate experience points (XP). As of game version 1.54+, Zwift has restructured cycling levels in a different fashion than in prior versions. There are now 100 levels for cyclists and 30 levels for runners.

Zwift will transition users at previous levels and users who had exceeded level 60 (previous level cap) into the new structure using both a level acceleration and level discount to bring everyone inline with the new level structure.

Additionally, once a user reaches level 100, the progress bar will be reset. You can then 'refill' the progress bar over an over. For each 'refill', you'll earn 50,000 drops for use to purchase items from the Drop Shop.

### Why Level Up?

Besides just increasing your stature with other Zwifters, leveling up rewards you with virtual gear that you can use in-game. At each level, you will receive a reward for your effort. Additionally, certain areas in Watopia, as well as lots of the virtual frames and wheelsets you can purchase with your earned Drops are level locked. You also receive 50,000 bonus Drops for each level achieved. Lastly, like any virtual game, rising up in levels in itself can be a motivation factor.

### What's My Level?

Your level is shown in various places but the most obvious is in-game in the center block of the Heads Up Display. Your level is shown in an orange progress bar. As you earn XP, the progress bar will fill out completely and you will move to the next level. At each completed level, you will receive a banner showing you what you've earned as a reward for reaching that level.

Additionally, once you've completed your ride and exiting to the Home screen, you will be presented with a 'New Streak' screen. This shows your current level and progress towards the next level. The 'New Streak' is determined by whether you have ridden at least 2km in the last week (Monday thru Sunday). Each week that you complete at least 2km, the streak counter will increase. You will earn an extra XP bonus for the first two days of a weekly streak: 300XP for the first two days of week one, 400XP for the first two days of week two and 500XP for the first two days of every week thereafter, as long as the streak continues.

### Level Unlocks for Cycling

To see images of these items, go to the 'Garage - In-Game Gear' menu item and select the appropriate equipment category (Jerseys, Glasses, Gloves, Headgear, Shoes, Socks).
Free Cycling

Free cycling in Zwift doesn't mean that it doesn't cost money for a Zwift subscription but rather that you can ride unstructured anywhere you like. Yes, you can just start riding and take any turn you like and even return the same way if you desire.

Simply log into Zwift, select one of the currently active worlds and select a route where you will begin your ride. Once you're riding, you can turn where you like or u-turn if you want. This way you can ride your own favorite sections or combine your favorite parts of different routes. When you come to a fork or 'T' in the road, you are given a directional choice on screen. Use you mouse, arrow keys or companion app to select which direction you want to go.

So you want to ride in a course world that is not available at the moment. There is a simple hack (See Switching Courses) that you can use to get around this limitation. It might be rather sparse in an inactive world but sometimes it's nice to have the place all to yourself.

You may have heard the term 'Rebel Routes'. These are routes that Zwifters have put together while free cycling that have caught on with other Zwifters through forums or meetups with friends. Over time, Zwift has taken some of these Rebel Routes and turned them into event-only routes or even made them standard routes that are now in the defined list.
Precursor Species

Very little is known about this ancient species. They are said to be extinct but rumours spread that they reside in the nebulae.

Tens of thousands of years ago this precursor species unlocked total space and lightspeed travel. Once they had they immediately set out to teach the existing sentient-intelligent and oversaw their greatest achievement. They also spoke of a great threat that would come to the system thousands of years from then.

When they had taught all they could, they disappeared. At first the species they had visited were taken aback but further advancement in space travel meant they were soon forgotten.

It is unknown what happened to them during the period of time they disappeared for.

After the Porphyrion-Human war it came to the attention of the galaxy that the Hyvian species was created by this precursor species as a means of combating the threat they
Run Shirts-Shorts

Run Shirts-Shorts are part of the virtual cycling apparel that your avatar wears while running in Zwift. These are simply for decoration or fashion as the run shirts-shorts do not impact the performance of the runner in Zwift. Run shirts-shorts can be selected from the Home screen by selecting the Garage icon then the Run Shirts or Shorts icon from the 'My Garage' screen. They can also be selected in-game by right clicking in the game area, selecting the 'Menu' button, then clicking the 'Garage' icon from the 'Paused' screen. Run Shirts-Shorts can be changed before, during & after riding. Run Shirts-Shorts can be acquired in various ways: 1) earned by leveling up 2) awarded for completing specific group or event rides.

Unlike frames and wheelsets, there is no comprehensive list of available run shirts-shorts in Zwift as these are not purchased but unlocked by level or event. Therefore, every unique piece of run shirts-shorts found has been listed. Many are no longer available and noted as such. Use sort tags to help you narrow down the type of glasses you want to find. They include: Charity, Club/Team, Event, Sponsor, Zwift Achievement, Zwift Event, Zwift Level and Zwift Other. Status details whether the run shirts-shorts are Retired, Team Only or Women Only. No status indicates the run shirts-shorts may still be active if a group ride/event decides to award it.

*NOTE: While we'll do the best we can at listing all the run shirt-shorts options, we could use some help from other Zwift Runners. Providing images, names and details from active runners would be much appreciated.*

Crit City

Map of Crit City

In December of 2019, Zwift has announced the release of a new map designed purely for racing, Crit City. The first thing to know about Crit City is that it’s an event-only route, meaning that you can’t just go ride it, you have to join an actual scheduled event on it.

As the name suggests, the new world is based on a criterium race course. It totals just 1.9km in length and gains close to just 8m in elevation.

## Geography

The Crit City route is not within any real-world town. The route is 1.9 km long (1.2mi), plus there’s a little bit of a lead-in on the first lap from the starting corrals. The route goes two different directions, one called ‘The Bell Lap’, and the other called ‘Downtown Dolphin’. Same course, just different directions. What’s most notable here are the 90° turns, but also the short little hills. Not really hills per se, more like accidental speed bumps at only 7.9 meters of elevation gain per lap. Either way, you’ll briefly feel them.

## Routes

Below are the available routes in Crit City. See the Master Route List for an overview of all routes, distances, elevation and XP.

Each route below is linked to a detailed page of that route on Zwift Insider.

Bell Lap

Downtown Dolphin
New York

Map of New York

New York’s Central Park has arrived on Zwift! This course is a reimagined urban oasis, set in the world of tomorrow. Zwifters at all levels can explore the routes and climb high above the park. With no red lights, cars, or parents pushing strollers to slow you down, the Park is your new place to train.

This map is set 100 years in the future and includes suspended glass roads in between the city's famous sky scrapers. The new world is designed to deliver what Zwift calls a "futuristic vision of the city and signifies the company's biggest move to 'gamify' the training experience yet".

So what’s different about Zwift’s Central Park? A whole lot! Ride or run in both directions, instead of just one. A new climb puts you on roads that float high above the ground, and into the future. Scattered throughout the landscape are modernized touches.

Robot horse-drawn carriages, cars that need neither gas nor road, and more surprises. Nowhere is this more awesome than on the climb. Make your way to the summit and catch the views as you head back down.

## Geography

To fully assess the size and scale of the urban park, the Zwift art team flew to NYC for a recon mission. Using GPS equipment and 360° cameras, they captured the exact dimensions and marked iconic landmarks to feature in-game. Do a loop and you’ll find inspired recreations of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Guggenheim Museum, Empire State Building, Tavern on the Green, Belvedere Castle, and more.

## Routes

Below are the available routes in New York. See the Master Route List for an overview of all routes, distances, elevation and XP.

Goals

Personal cycling and running goals can be set to monitor your weekly or monthly progress towards distance and duration. The goal setting is fairly basic and currently can be found in the Zwift Companion App. Goal setting was removed new Zwift User Interface update in 2022. It is expected to return in a future update.

Goals can be set on a weekly or monthly basis. The only goals are distance and duration. For example, you want to set a weekly goal of 100km distance. Go to the home screen of the companion app, select the 3 stacked bars for the menu and then select Goals. Click on 'Add a Goal' and you'll be presented with 3 options:

Sport = Cycle or Run

Frequency = Weekly or Monthly

Type = Distance or Time

Use the arrow keys to increase or decrease your distance or time. Once your goal is set, your cumulative effort for the week or month will be tracked. When you complete the goal, you will receive a 'confetti blast' in-game letting you know you have reached your goal. This will repeat each week or month until the goal is removed. To remove a goal, select it using the same method to create it in the companion app and delete it.

Clubs

In early 2022, Zwift released a 'Clubs' feature. This primary purpose of this feature is to allow Zwifters to form groups together and create group related events. Whether it's a real life group that wants a Zwift presence or just a bunch of like minded people getting together for a virtual ride, Clubs will help facilitate this effort. Club functionality is in its early stages but basically allows you to create events and invite club members to the event with a simple link. This differs from 'Meet-ups' which require each person to be individually invited and start on the side of the road instead of in the starting pens. At this time, club functionality is only available in the Zwift Companion app.

### Club Requirements

Clubs currently have the following requirements for creators & members:

* Must be a paid Zwift member with an account in good standing
* Must be a level 5 or higher cyclist or runner
* Must be age 16 or higher for creation and membership
* You can only join or create 10 clubs at any given time (ie. create one club and be a member of 9 others)
* Club membership cannot exceed 25,000 members (though club events can have more than 25,000 riders in the event)

### Club Links

As the Clubs functionality is very new and evolving, it doesn't make sense to fully document every step in the Zwift Wiki yet. Instead, here's a list of links to specific Club features on Zwift support. This way, you are more likely to get the most updated information directly from Zwift until the functionality is fine-tuned.
