Group rides
Set a ride for a time on any route, with a workout if you like, and everyone sets off together; keep everyone together so nobody is dropped. Your friends see it on their routes screen, and a link brings anyone else. Try it
Grimpa
What's new
What's changed and been added in Grimpa lately, newest first.
A loading bar, and no more black flashes
While a route loads, a bar shows how far it has come. On phones, the screen no longer flashes black in the first seconds of a ride.
Fields that grow something
The farmland by the road now grows what it would there: maize, beet, wheat, rapeseed, mown hay with its bales, or ploughed earth. Now and then a tractor is out working.
Ride with friends
Send your friend link from the Friends screen: whoever opens it is your friend straight away. When a friend is out riding, Join puts you on the road beside them. Try it
Who's around you
A list beside the road shows the riders near you, as in Zwift: three ahead and three behind, with their W/kg and the gap in seconds.
Chat, and who's riding where
Press the online count on the routes screen to see who's riding which road, and join them. Each route has its own chat, at the start and on the road. Try it
Reconnect without losing your ride
Trainer dropped, or want to add heart rate? Press D during a ride to connect it again or change it. A Zwift Click V2 now pairs both buttons: shift on the right one.
Choose the time of day
Press T, or the sun beside the camera key, to ride through dawn, morning, afternoon, evening, dusk or night.
Countdown beeps in workouts
The last three seconds before a workout's next interval beep, as on a Garmin or in Zwift. Try it
The Home roads jersey
Ride one of your own routes from start to finish to earn a jersey with your road on its back. Try it
The Pyrenees & Basque pack
Six new roads: the Tourmalet from Luz, Hautacam, the Aubisque over the Soulor, Jaizkibel, the Basque villages and the Landes coast. €4.99 once, and they're yours for good. Try it
Your own routes, better built
An uploaded route now follows trails and gravel roads (rougher to ride), finds its climbs and times each one, and has the churches, windmills and castles from the map along it. You get an email when it's ready. Try it
Grimpa speaks German
Beside English, Dutch, French, Spanish and Italian. German routes have their own scenery too: spruce and beech woods, orchards and half-timbered villages.
Older Tacx trainers
A Tacx without FTMS (Genius, Vortex, Bushido, Flow, the first NEOs) now feels the road's gradient, as in Zwift.
Pick your share picture
After a ride, choose its picture from the best moments: the finish in sight, a landmark ahead, or where you stopped. Try it
The garage
Dress your rider: jerseys, helmets, glasses, bikes and wheels, earned by riding. The other riders on the road see what you wear. Try it
Share your own routes
The Share key on one of your routes gives a link. Friends who open it find the route under "Shared with you" and ride it free, on the same live road. Try it
ERG in a free ride
Press E to hold the watts you're riding now; − and + (or a shift) change them.
