Zwift Releases 2025 Spinback Data (Personal and Community)

Late last week, Zwift released our personal 2025 Spinbacks, a video available in the Companion app that reviews your achievements for the year. The video highlights key stats, including:

  • Your favorite day of the week to Zwift
  • Pizza slices burned
  • Distance ridden
  • Elevation climbed
  • Ride Ons exchanged (total sent + total received)
  • Top three worlds
  • Favorite route
  • Favorite RoboPacer
  • Total activities logged
  • Total achievements (badges)
  • Total unique routes completed
  • Total FTP bumps
  • Longest streak
  • Number of races
  • Current racing score
  • Total hours

Here’s my personal Spinback video as a reference:

Community Spinback

Along with our personal Spinbacks, Zwift also released an unprecedented amount of aggregated “Community Spinback” data:

A few fun notes about the community’s achievements:

  • 1.3 billion kilometers ridden is over 32,000 times around the Earth.
  • 11.5 billion meters is (nearly) 1.3 million times up Mt Everest.
  • 90.1 million pizza slices works out to over 25 trillion calories burned (285 calories per slice).
  • We talk about how racers are a “minority” on Zwift, and that’s true… but 2.2 million races this year works out to over 6,000 races completed daily.
  • 545.7 million Ride Ons for the year means 17.3 Ride Ons per second are shared on the platform, year-round.

In a press release last week, Zwift shared additional Community Spinback data:

  • January was the most popular month in 2025, with 226.7 million kilometers ridden.
  • The three most popular routes overall are Watopia’s Tempus Fugit, Tick Tock, and Flat Route.
  • On 5th January, a dizzying 78 million metres ascended in a single day.
  • Only 12% of the total hours with Robopacers are spent with the three top-end pacers (Jacques, Genie, and Constance). Still, that’s almost 500,000 hours!
  • 60% of Robopacer hours were spent with either Miguel (1.8w/kg), Maria (2.2 w/kg), or Coco (2.6 w/kg).
  • Biggest event participation numbers: Tour de Zwift, Zwift Unlocked, and The Zwift Big Spin.
  • Average session length: 59 minutes
    • Germany had the longest average session length at 62 minutes
    • The UK had the shortest, at 55 minutes
  • France and Germany both prefer structured workouts, while most other countries prefer free rides.

Zwift also released some country-specific data:

Country-Specific Stats

From these images, we can crunch a few numbers to come up with a fun little leaderboard showing which countries have accumulated the most Zwift distance and elevation per capita in the past year (aka, the world’s Zwiftiest places)!

CountryPopulation (millions)Total Distance (millions of km)Total Elevation (millions of m)KM per CapitaM per CapitaM/KM
USA340.1306.42,4000.907.067.83
UK69.2173.31,4002.5020.238.08
Germany83.51321,1001.5813.178.33
France68.570.3644.61.039.419.17
Australia27.253.2417.31.9615.347.84
New Zealand5.311.495.42.1518.008.37
Spain48.821.3188.30.443.868.84
Japan12455.7488.90.453.948.73

We can also see that France’s Zwifters did the most climbing per kilometer of any country on the list. Perhaps they were too busy working hard to drop Ride Ons?

My Thoughts

I was curious how “bespoke” each of our Spinback videos actually is. Sure, the stats are unique to us. But what about various text quips, like “You torched enough pizza slices to open up your very own Pipos Pizza Palace”?

In poking around on Insta, it appears most of these bits are the same for everyone. (I saw one newer rider who had burned just 23 slices of pizza, yet apparently even he could have opened up his own Pipos. Hmph.)

Still, it was fun to see my year in review on Zwift. Although last year Zwift dipped their toes into the “spinback” water by delivering career spinbacks for us, this is the first time they’ve released an annual spinback for each Zwifter, and so much aggregated community data for the year. I’m hoping this will become an annual tradition.

Your Thoughts

Any thoughts on your personal Spinback? Did anyone have a different “top worlds” list than “Watopia, France, New York”? And what do you think of the community spinback numbers? Share your thoughts below!

(Also, if you’re having trouble seeing the Spinback prompt in the Companion app, check out this forum thread for some tips.)
