Kit and Wheel Unlocks
Every Pride On event unlocks something – a kit, the new 2025 Pride On Wheels, or both. To be precise:
- Weekday Pride On Rides unlock the LGBTQ Zwifters club kit and Pride On Wheels
- Throwback Thursday rides unlock a different kit each week and Pride On Wheels
- Rainbow Races unlock only the Pride On Wheels
- Weekend LGBTQ Zwifters Club events unlock the LGBTQ Zwifters club kit
Wondering how the new Pride On Wheels perform? They’re not particularly fast, although they look fun. They turn in the same test performance as the 2025 Big Spin prize wheels (named the Zwift Groovy Time Trial wheels). See their performance details on our wheel charts page.
