My Zwift Wishlist of Not Really Important Changes

Everyone likes to talk about the biggest, most “important” Zwift feature requests. But what about those less important changes? They matter too, right?

Here’s my five not-really-important Zwift ideas for 2025.

#1: Rearview Window

If you’re wearing the Rearview Mirror Glasses (level 55 unlock), a little window should pop up on the screen showing the, ahem, rear view.

#2: Quicker Leaderboard Timeouts for Questionable Efforts

When a certain threshold is beaten or a dumb trainer is used, change the time-out criteria on leaderboard jerseys from 60 to 15 minutes. The Zwifter still gets credit, but those far‑too-often superhuman times will be less likely to prevent realistic efforts from earning jerseys.

Two examples where someone averaged over 40 mph/65 kph to get the Jersey

#3: Auto-Warmers

Put us in arm and knee warmers every time we are above the snowline.  Brrrr…

#4: Extra Drops for Leaderboard Jerseys

In addition to the current accelerated drops when getting a Ride On, also accelerate accumulation if you’re wearing a Leaderboard Jersey. That might incentivize even more competition.

#5: RoboPacer Recoloring

Change the color of Robo Pacers so they make some sense.  Like along the color spectrum – Red for the hardest to Violet for the easiest.

How about Red-Orange-Yellow-Green-Blue-Indigo-Violet?

Those are my five unimportant wishes for Zwift in 2025. What about you? Post your not really important ideas below!
