Zwift launched levels 101+ for riders today, plus levels 31-50 for runners. I hopped onto my bike to confirm, and realized I was only a few kilometers from hitting level 101… so I kept pedaling!
Running levels 22-30 were added in January 2023, while cycling levels 61-100 were added in December 2023. Many thousands of riders and runners have hit the level cap since those new levels were added, so the launch of fresh levels is big news, particularly for longtime/dedicated Zwifters.
Here are the XP requirements for reaching the new levels:
- Riding Levels:
- Levels 101-199: 20,000 XP per level
- Levels 200-299: 21,000 XP per level
- Levels 300+: 22,000 XP per level
- Running Levels:
- Levels 31–35: 9,000 XP per level
- Levels 36–40: 10,000 XP per level
- Levels 41–45: 11,000 XP per level
- Levels 46–50: 12,000 XP per level
Zwifters who have been stuck at the level cap for a while won’t have to actually earn the XP shown above in order to level up, though. And they also won’t immediately be upgraded to their “proper” level based on all the XP they’ve earned while stuck at the level cap! Instead, Zwift is once again using “accelerated leveling” to let Zwifters with extra “banked” XP level up much faster. Why? Because Zwift’s game designers believe it’s a better user experience to enjoy each level-up rather than immediately jumping to our “earned” level. To receive multiple small dopamine hits over time, instead of a single large one.
(For the record, I’d rather be immediately upgraded to my proper level. But I just write about Zwift features… I don’t make ’em!)
How does this accelerated leveling work? That’s what this post is all about…
Accelerated Leveling: the Basics
Zwift says, “Any extra XP you have over 807,000 at level 100 for cycling or XP over 149,000 at level 30 for running is banked and applied toward accelerated leveling. Cyclists with banked XP will accelerate through levels 4 times faster and runners will accelerate 2 times faster. [Cyclists will] know accelerated leveling is active if you see the three-chevron icon next to your rider score.”
If it applies to you, accelerated leveling works automatically in the background as you ride and run. There is no intervention needed from you, no options to set. It just works, and you’ll reach your new higher levels much faster thanks to the extra XP you’ve banked while stuck at the previous level cap.
That’s the simple explanation. But if you want to dig into exactly how this works, keep reading…
Digging Deeper
Accelerated leveling works by combining XP you’ve already earned (while stuck at the level cap) with fresh XP you earn from today forward.
The simplest example: On my first ride after the new levels launched, when I rode my first kilometer, I earned 20 XP. That 20 XP was combined with 60 XP I had “banked” previously, and Zwift applied that full 80 XP to reaching level 101.
You can see this on the main Menu screen in game. Each kilometer you ride, your rider score (on the left) will increase by 20. But the “Until Next Reward” number on the right will decrease by 80. Here are before and after shots of that happening today:
We earn XP in various ways on Zwift: by accumulating distance, by extending our Week Streak, by finishing a workout block, by riding through an arch and getting a small or large XP bonus powerup, by earning achievement badges (including route badges), by burning calories (runners only), and by completing certain quests/challenges.
Most of the XP we earn will be paired with banked XP to accelerate our leveling up. The simple way to think about it is, if you are in the game when you earn the XP, and you see it pop up on your screen, it will be paired with banked XP to accelerate you to the next level. That means all the XP methods listed above will be accelerated except for Week Streak bonuses and distance XP from outdoor activities.
Accelerated Leveling Examples
If you’ve been at the level cap for very long, you probably have the same questions as I:
- How quickly will I level up with accelerated leveling?
- How long will accelerated leveling continue for me? Or to put it another way: what level will I be at when my banked XP runs out?
Let’s look at examples that will help you answer each question.
How quickly will I level up?
Assuming you’ve got banked XP to pull from, how many hours of riding will it take to jump to the next level? Levels 101 onward require 20,000 XP per level, which means moving up one level requires you to earn 5,000 XP, which Zwift will combine with 15,000 XP from your bank to make 20,000 XP.
Riders can typically expect to earn 500-700 XP per hour, although there are ways to boost that earning rate. Let’s assume you earn 600 XP per hour of riding. That means it would take you 5000/600=8.3 hours of riding on Zwift to earn 5,000 XP.
So 8.3 hours is a realistic estimate of how many Zwifting hours are required to bump up to the next level. Add in a Week Streak bonus and perhaps a bit of XP farming, and you could probably level up with just 5-6 hours of riding.
How long will my accelerated leveling continue?
The math required to answer this question is quite simple. If you are at level 100+ and want to find out when your acceleration will end, here’s the formula:
RiderScoreAtEndOfAccel = CurrentRiderScore + (CurrentBankedXP / 3)
Example: Right now, I’ve earned 2,386,680 XP. Since 807,000 XP is required to reach level 100, my banked XP amount is 2,386,680 – 807,000 = 1,579,680 XP.
So for me, the formula is:
RiderScoreAtEndOfAccel = 2386680 + (1579680/3)
That means my rider score at the end of acceleration will be 2,913,240 XP. Then all I need to do is look that up on a level lookup table (here’s a quick Google sheet I made) to determine which level I’ll be at when my banked XP runs out. Looks like I’ll be at level 204. Let’s gooo!
(Also, in a late UI addition, Zwift added this level to your menu screen, so if you’re in game, you can see what minimum level you’ll be accelerated to. See screenshot above.)
I also made a simple Google sheet where you can plug in your current Rider Score and easily see where your accelerated leveling will end.
This assumes all the XP I’m earning is that “online” XP that gets accelerated, though. I know I’ll be earning XP via Week Streak bonuses and outdoor riding, though, which means I’ll actually be at a higher level when acceleration ends.
More Examples
Hitting Level 100 With More Than 807,000 XP
Due to how Zwift has changed leveling requirements over the years, it’s possible for Zwifters to reach level 100 having earned more than 807,000 XP. If that’s you, when the new levels went live, any XP you’ve earned over 807,000 was considered “banked” and will be used for 4x acceleration until it’s used up.
Example: You hit level 100 with 900,000 XP, before levels 101+ launched. You then earned another 100,000 XP while capped at level 100, putting your rider score at 1,000,000 when levels 101+ launched. You then had 1,000,000 – 807,000 = 193,000 banked XP.
Hitting Level 100 With Less Than 807,000 XP
It’s also quite possible for Zwifters to reach level 100 having earned less than 807,000 XP. Zwift tells me these riders will essentially be “gifted” XP – their rider score will be adjusted up to (at least) 807,000 XP when the new levels go live. I say “at least” because you will also keep any “banked” XP you’ve earned since hitting level 100.
Example: You hit level 100 with 600,000 XP, before levels 101+ launched. When the levels went live, you were at 700,000 XP, meaning you’d banked 100,000 XP. Your Ride Score at that point was increased to 807,000 XP plus the 100,000 XP you’ve banked (so 907,000 total).
If you’ve got way too much XP…
Tim “Bacon” Searle, the Zwift legend, shared on Facebook that he’s at 6,539,081 XP. His acceleration indicator shows he’ll be accelerated through level 400:
But that’s actually incorrect. Our calculator shows he’ll be accelerated through level 461, at a minimum. My guess? Either Zwift has only created levels up to 400 for now, or they capped their acceleration calculation at 400. Either way, once again Zwift has underestimated Mr. Searle…

XP Requirements
Is Zwift correct?
Yeah (well, I assume so). They changed it from what it was last week! I’ve updated it above.
Any chance you might update your two google sheets to take the 21k and 22k XP per level into account – thanks.
Done!
Sorry, I don’t understand your spread sheet at all! The figures don’t seem to tally with yours for level 204 or my own. I must be doing something wrong but I can’t see how the figures you arrived at fit the line for 204
so I guess with the game having unlimited levels now, I feel a lack of incentive to achieve them. No unlocks which I thought could be fun or at least something to achieve. I really don’t see any difference between having a lot of XP and having a higher level, achievement of higher levels feels like it lacks any sort of purpose.
No more lack of incentive than you had last week. I suspect they will add unlocks, and probably other incentives, too. It is their job, after all. But they needed the level fix first.
Yeah, on the quest to 100 it felt like I was chasing something, when I got there I just moved on to other things, like upgrading bike. This a fitness platform maybe I should just continue to focus on that instead.
Seems like a goal IRL of lost weight or more endurance is better than the goal of Espada or Stage5 Tron or a level 300 socks that spit acorns or whatever they will come up with eventually…
Levels and other carrots inside zwift provide a different kind of motivation. Taking your argument to it’s logical extreme you should just quite zwift and stare at a wall on the trainer while thinking about your goal of losing weight.
oooooh….spitting acorns! Now I need to reach level 300!
Scotty socks that drop acorns good for a 10 second 20 watt boost? I didn’t even know that I wanted this until you said it!
^^^saved me typing that 🏆💯Thx
No actually there is less incentive now that levels have no cap. When there was a max level there was an incentive to hit that max level. Now levels just repeat the same information as xp, and since it can go forever there is no goal to achieve.
Then the goal is to beat mother nature and beat forever!!
It’s a tough one. Having a ceiling gives a target, but means once people hit it, it removes any incentive, but I also agree that if it’s just a limitless level increase, it also becomes a bit pointless with nothing to chase but an ever increasing number with no point.
I still think they should make things more interesting for long term users, such as multiple route badges, e.g. a bronze, silver and gold route badge for every ten times ridden (just an example), and some major incentive at every 100 levels. Maybe it’s something they’ll look at now they’ve released the ceiling limit.
I think I’d prefer shorter challenges like the various tours, objectives need ends otherwise it just seems pointless, because as you can never “finish”
Agree – tracking multiple route badges would be easy and impactful. Conversely, I don’t care what level I am, ever.
tempus fuggit should be a carbon medal
whats the badge for riding tempus fugit like 4000 times XD
When you hit the level max there was still something to chase: you knew that zwift would add more levels someday so you’d be banking xp for those future levels. So they’ve removed another carrot: waiting for the day that levels get expanded.
kind of agree, my most mileage months were immediately after more levels announce and i chased to max them out again. cannot chase no end now, so will just keep doing what i am doing, i suppose i could chase where my banked points end, that would put me at level 240, still a lot of riding to get there
looks like you do a lot of riding already if you’ve banked up to level 240 acceleration… I doubt this will affect you too much 😎
For me I guess the challenge is to catch some friends up, but the membership of being in the elite 100 club would have been nice (kind of like the ultimate ‘backwards hat’!!!)
Yes, level unlocks are cool and an incentive. However, when was the last time you wore the Level 100 jersey? or a bike other than the S-Works or Tron? I have a garage and wardrobe full of items i don’t use. I’d gladly exchange for XP or Drops to purchase items that I use or future bike upgrades.
My personal incentive is to improve fitness and health. Zwift provides the perfect platform for me.
Thanks for the clear explanation and the spreadsheet @eschlange1 . I know now already when my accelerated leveling will end and will double check it tomorrow on Zwift.
Accelerated lleveling to 156 as calculated! ✅️
Hey Eric… Aren’t you curious to know what those 16 new items in your garage are?
Ha ha! Just more virtual jerseys and silly hats I’ll never wear!
Silly stuff has a use. April Fools Day, Halloween and group rides such as the HERD’s Wacky Wednesdays.
I still don’t see that level 100 badge, orange band across the top left corner of your name, as it appears on your video. Running version 112 on IOS Devices and ATV? Has that been released to the public?
Far as I know it’s released to all now.
For some reason, many of us don’t get updates much later than you do from Zwift. My ride this morning at 9am MST had no bonus XP I just logged in after reading your article at 2:30pm MST and no prompt to update and no new leveling. Would it have something to do with me running Zwift on a slightly older PC?
Also missing for me on PC.Running latest update
same here… I’m beyond 980k XP and was supposed to level up yesterday. But just received 20XP and drops… While today, someone leveled up to 101 in front of my.
No stripe for me either. Does it need a game update or is it a backend change?
Where are the level 100 markers that are supposed to be by our names? i don’t see mine.
Not sure… I’m seeing mine! Restart Zwift? Reach out to support?
I’ve tried on multiple machines.
was yours there at level 100 or did it appear after getting to level 101?
It was there at level 100.
Im on 101 and have no stripe
I don’t see mine either. MacMini M4, just started Zwift, version 1.112.0.
I don’t have a stripe either. Bloody zwift. I might switch to rouvy…….oh wait a minute🤣
Don’t see it either. But yesterday I was level 100; today, 109.
I’m using Apple TV.
My marker appeared yesterday evening,30th, wasn’t there in the morning,accelerated xp appeared at the same time
《Looks like I’ll be at level 204》
Same number as in the lv204 displayed after the triple chevron 😄
Good to know the math works.
Beneath Rider Score and Until Next Level, there’s an image of someone on a bike doing a wheelie, what is this supposed to represent?
As of a few years ago, the guy doing a wheelie indicated that you were on an accelerated leveling program. I assume that’s still the case.
Levels are meaningless. Distance covered and time spent riding the only true numbers.
Tell that to everyone who says levels aren’t meaningless.
If they like to get more jerseys, hats, glasses, socks etc. let them have it. I would like to get rid of around 80% of stuff in my garage. Hiding it would also be a nice option.
Including distance and time while excluding elevation gained is exactly what I’d expect from someone with Florida in their name. 😂
Good catch. Actually I completed 3 vE including the 10 km. In Florida it would take me all day and night to complete a IRL Everesting.😂
Ride On.
You and I might just be the only two people on Zwift that think that. I quit caring at Level 40 when I could buy whatever I wanted to play in a game while I burn fat. Show up don’t show off? I have no idea. I think Zwifters should have more fun improving themselves and quit with the obsessing over *a game*. Life is too short to hate a game.
Time spent riding is a true number, calories or watt-hours expended is a true number. Distance covered and elevation gained are not really true numbers because they are based on a fictional map with idealized conditions, plenty of people to draft, top of the line bikes with upgrades, boosters, etc.
I’m surprised that they kept a flat XP curve. Instead of making it some scaling function so that level 305 is 0.5% more XP than level 304 or whatever
Well, it kinda makes sense. In other games, let’s say typical rpgs you have more xp to gather, to gain the next level than the previous one. But in rpgs you gather xp more easily at higher levels because the quests and monsters are growing, too.
Zwift is basically static, no matter what level you are: 20xp per km. So with that in mind, it would make more sense to have an entirely flat xp curve. Although it does make sense to have faster levelling at lower levels, just to hook people up. 🤷♂️
Are there any drops bonuses with the new levels? At least we got drops every time we got level 100…
Ooh yes good point!
Yup, still 50k Drops when you level up. Just tested it!
FYI- Last week I leveled up on an outdoor ride and didn’t get the 50k Drops bonus.
Yes! Just got to Level 101 & got the 50k drops 🎉 Working towards Level 5 on Tron so need all I can get 🤣🤣
What’s the chances of getting an XP counter on the HUD, instead of just the bar?
We were blessed with a DROPS counter which is next to useless unless you’re a newbie.
After all these years, I wish there could be a better way to see your XP (rider score) than having to start a ride and open the ride menu. Maybe there’s another way, but I have not found it… 🤷♂️ (looks like my banked XP will get me to level 381 someday)
👆🏻 this! Ought to be available through Profile in game and Companion. Not sure whether forcing one to be in game to see this number is legacy interface and laziness to update it, or a behavioural approach to keeping users active in the game. 🤔
There is. Always remember to take a screenshot of the ride menu at the end of the ride. 😊
Then you can just go to your feed on zwift.com, to the Companion App or to Strava and go see it.
I’m guessing that the XP multiplier does not apply to route/climb/power-up xp bonuses?
From above:
“We earn XP in various ways on Zwift: by accumulating distance, by extending our Week Streak, by finishing a workout block, by riding through an arch and getting a small or large XP bonus powerup, by earning achievement badges (including route badges), by burning calories (runners only), and by completing certain quests/challenges.
Most of the XP we earn will be paired with banked XP to accelerate our leveling up. The simple way to think about it is, if you are in the game when you earn the XP, and you see it pop up on your screen, it will be paired with banked XP to accelerate you to the next level.”
I have ~ 1.900.000 XP, so i will benefit from accelerated leveling until LVL 174. Now i am riding the Alpe and get 1.000 XP at the spinning wheel.
Question: I understood that the 1.000 XP are not valid for the XP multipier. But what happens with them: Are the somewhat “lost”(or lose 3/4 of their value) or do they count against my basis of 1.900.000 XP – meaning that my accelerated leveling will go to 175 or furter above?
The 1,000 XP you get from the Alpe spinner IS accelerated, meaning it is combined with 3,000 XP from your bank.
If you earn “offline” XP, like for extending a Week Streak, that XP is not accelerated. That is, it isn’t combined with 3x the amount from your banked XP. It will help you level up still, and yes, if you’re earning offline XP, it means your accelerated leveling will actually go higher than 175.
Eric – I don’t think the 500 XP for weekly streak is matched with 1500 banked XP.
carole
Correct. I said above “That means all the XP methods listed above will be accelerated except for Week Streak bonuses”…
Well, it doesn’t on an upgraded bike which yields 21xp per km, only 60xp hijacked XP back. The 2xp bonus from confetti socks does give you 6xp back though. Must be Zwift….
Im only on level 32, so I still got a while to even reach 100…
#rideon ^^
Well, somebody will ask it, so may as well be me…
You note, above, that in the (somewhat rare?) case that someone 1) achieved level 100 with less than 807,000 XP and 2) remains below 807,000 XP as this new system goes live, Zwift will essentially “gift” them XP such that they are now at (at least) 807,000 XP (could be more, as “gifted” XP will seemingly be added to earned and accrued XP earned since hitting 100).
However, what happens in the (slightly less rare?) case where someone 1) achieved level 100 with less than 807,000 XP but 2) currently has more than 807,000 XP (possibly far more)? Will these folks also be “gifted” the XP that went “missing” when the level 100 target XP value was refactored from 600K to 807K?
Actually, I don’t really care, despite being in that latter camp! But it seems a logical and inevitable follow-up question.
Edit: I don’t actually remember which way the XP refactoring happened or when… just that it happened at some point in the distant past and, when it did, that I already had enough XP “banked” to get accelerated to the new level 100. If my question makes no sense given how and when the refactoring actually happened – sorry about that. Oh, and great write-up!
What I wrote still applies in the case you’re asking about. Whether you hit level 100 with less than 807k XP before the new levels launched… or you do that months from now… you’ll still get gifted enough XP to get you to 807k from whatever number you initially hit 100 with.
The only difference is, if you did it before the new levels came, you’ll end up with some banked XP too. But if you do it now, after the levels have launched, you’ll be heading into level 100+ without any banked XP.
Not really connected to this topic but I found it on my scrolling through my profile on infos to my levels:
There was a blue box stating “Racing Achievements are on the way — we’re working on them and they’ll be here soon.”
@Eric Schlange : Do you know anything about this? I dont remember there was anything on TSOZ right?
It’s the new Racing Profile page. They’re working on that achievements tab, but the rest of the page launched today… working on a ZI post about it, in fact.
I’m in a different situation, on Zwift since 2016 and level 94 with more than 900k XP. What will happen in such case?
Dunno what’s going on here, can’t see any chevrons & it’s taken forever to get 75% of a lvl, been lvl 100 for a long while
How do people hit level 100 with less than 807k xp anyway?
For your reading pleasure: https://zwiftinsider.com/level-changes-july-2024/ (scroll down to the chart under “Out With the Old, In With the New”…)
weird i have been at 100 for over a year but have yet to get to 101 even after a 3h ride today. zero lvl ups.
I am about 600 XP from level 100. However, I have about 9000 XP total. When I hit level 100 will I get banked my XP over 807 even though I haven’t hit level 100 yet?
See “Hitting Level 100 With More Than 807,000 XP” under “More Examples” above.
I got bumped to level 100 today, automatically. I was level 99 yesterday with about 860,000 xp, when I logged in today I was at level 100, same xp. I don’t think I got a 50,000 drop bonus, but did get confetti socks. And accelerated leveling was in effect. That was my experience, anyway.
I have the latest version on Android and Windows. No stripe at level 101 on either OS. I know several people at 100 and no one has it.
I noticed that the Zwift API now updates mid-ride (every 10m to be precise). Previously, it only updated after finishing a ride, so a game crash could cause you to lose the XP and Drops accumulated during that session. This appears to be fixed now. Zwift has been rock solid for me though, and I’ve never experienced a crash myself.
The ZwiftPower ZRS browser extension already supports the new leveling system and also calculates the level until acceleration stops.
Nice work, int!
Can anyone (other than Eric) actually see the level 100+ “stripe” appearing next to rider names?
If so, would you mind stating what hardware/OS you’re using? I, like many others reporting here, don’t see the stripes, although accelerated leveling appears to be working as intended.
I think it’s got to be a feature flag issue on Zwift’s side. I’ve alerted some contacts internally who can get it done if that’s the case. Stay tuned…
Zwift says it’s fixed now.
From Zwift support: “no stripe or similar visual element is documented as part of the level 100 or beyond experience.” 😵

Confirmed. Thanks, Eric!
What happens with outdoor rides. Do they now accrue 65xp per km? I’d go outside and check if I didn’t have a ruptured achilles….
65xp per km? What’s that formula?
Base is 5xp so if you guessed 20xp i’d kinda understand but 65?
Either way, as written in the article, no – for outdoor rides you aren’t using your banked XP
Guess I should learn to read with all this spare time
That’s really weird — the increment on points with level is insignificant. I would expect something more dramatic, like +5% per level.
Running on Windows PC, Zwift game v1.112.0 (160922) and launcher v1.1.16
Still no stripe visible for my name or any other names in the rider list while in game.
I leveled up to 101 during a ride yesterday evening (29-Apr). Still no stripe visible during this morning’s ride (30-Apr).
XP 2,465,196 … yep, been stuck at 100 for quite a while.
What is earned at each level, besides the level up?
If you’re asking about unlocks like jerseys or socks or hats… nothing at this time.
Bragging rights. 😉
Something has changed though. At first I stood level 100 with fast track to 151. But then I’ve been moved directly to level 111 with fast track to 147…
Do repeats on very short portal climbs like the Koppenberg and make sure to hit each of the ten “gates” to get the prize (10XP, feather or 250XP). I did that yesterday (25 times up the Koppenberg) and got to level 102 in just one day. Got numerous 250XP which actually garner 1000XP (10XP garners 40XP). The Zwift Spring Classic is still available until tomorrow and I’m taking full advantage by riding the Koppenberg as many times as I can to XP farm.
My wife was level 93 before the update and is now level 100 after the update! Haha, she is hoping that glitch stays!
Reaching Level 200 allows the rider to hold a garage sale and kit clean out!
I finally got my stripe turned on and was only 4000 XP away from getting my XP odometer unfrozen at level 100. On a whim, I decided to do the Climb Portal Challenge for the XP bonuses. Hitting 101 was great, and now halfway to 102, I’ve got that little bit more motivation to push me over the hump and ride on the days that I waver. I pay Zwift for all of these little gamified, motivational tricks to keep me on my best behavior. If I could find a software platform that did the same for yardwork, my wife would be very happy.
For those with accelerated leveling, has anyone reached the top of the Alpe and hit 1000XP on the spinner? Does that then pull 3000XP from your banked balance for a 4k bump? I feel like the 10 and 250XP arch bonuses are behaving that way, and it made me wonder about the spinner.
Not yet – gonna try it next week.
Just did it this morning! I was on another round of level 100 and was a few thousand XP away from completing another 20,000. When I reached the top and the spinner landed on the wheel (yes!) it showed I got 1000XP but also showed I got 50,000 drops and I got the graphic showing I leveled up to 101 so I must have gotten a 4k bump.
That was my suspicion after seeing how the arches behaved. I haven’t been up the Alpe in a month and change because of the Big Spin events being on flat to rolling routes. I’m a bit of an Alpe junkie, though, and that’s all the excuse I need to go back to daily Alpe ascending as I look forward to summer outdoors with fresh climbing gears on my road bike.
saw my Lvl 100 sash yesterday, and a few other centurians!
Are outdoor miles on the bike that earn XP also accelerated?
Its answered in the article: That means all the XP methods listed above will be accelerated except for Week Streak bonuses, questions/challenges, and distance XP from outdoor activities.
I looked through the comments but didn’t see my situation. I’m currently at level 97 with over 927000 xp. I show accelerated leveling to 98 from the last change. Will I get any acceleration when I hit lvl 100? I should have over 975000 xp when that happens.
Yes. When you hit level 100, any XP you have over 807,000 will be “banked”, and that will be used to accelerate you until it runs out.
Thanks, I thought that’s what the “Hitting level 100 with more than 807000 xp” section meant, but the example suggested you had to hit 100 before level 101+ was launched.
Yeah, that example has you hitting it beforehand, just so I could work in earning even more XP after hitting level 100. But it works the same now, AFTER levels 101+ have been released.
Is the level bar graph on the riding screen reflecting the accelerated progress? In other words, if you have a 4x acceleration, will the bar graph move 4x faster?
Yes.
About 2-3 years ago, when I got to lv60, the max at the time, I had done every challenge badge, every route Inc the self guiding ones. I was very bored so moved to Rouvy. Did a couple of years there until they release, for me in my lifetime at least, unreachable levels.
Back to Zwift for 6 months now and gone from 60 to 80. Will get 100 this year maybe.
I think these new levels are a good idea. Always something to aim for if that’s your thing and Zwift don’t now need to keep moving the bar for the 1% and demotivate the other 99%
Hey all, I was on a ride yesterday and ran across a guy with an orange diagonal stripe signifying he’s a level 100 rider. The orange diagonal stripe was followed by a blue diagonal stripe. Basically, he’s got two diagonal stripes an orange one and a blue one. I wonder what that blue diagonal stripe means? what does it stand for? level 200?
Yup, that’s level 200!
