New Bots, Flatter Routes: Zwift Rolls Out RoboPacer Changes

In a few hours, Zwift will flip the switch on a swath of RoboPacer changes. Here’s the new schedule, which is planned to go live at 9am PT/12pm ET/4pm UTC:

What’s Changing?

Zwift is rolling out several changes at once:

• New RoboPacers: 4 bots are being added, bringing us to 14 active bots. The first 10 bots are evenly spaced from 0.8 to 2.6 W/kg in 0.2 W/kg increments, while the final 4 bots are spaced a bit further apart. New RoboPacers:
  • Cruz (1.2 W/kg)
  • Mochi (1.4 W/kg)
  • Dani (2.0 W/kg)
  • Betty (2.4 W/kg)
• Modified RoboPacers: Taylor is being adjusted from 1.1 to 1.0 W/kg, while Bernie is being adjusted from 1.5 to 1.6 W/kg.
• Watopia Only: RoboPacers will no longer be available on the scheduled “guest world”. They will only be in Watopia.
• Flatter Routes: Since flatter routes make it easier for groups to stay together, RoboPacers will be on these routes:
  • Triple Flat Loops
  • Volcano Circuit CCW
  • Beach Island Loop
  • Flat Route
  • Tempus Fugit
  • Waisted 8
  • Ocean Lava Cliffside Loop
  • Volcano Flat
  • Volcano Circuit
  • Two Bridges Loop
  • Sand and Sequoias
  • Watopia’s Waistband
  • Big Flat 8
  • Tick Tock
• Changing Twice a Week: Instead of changing every day or two, routes will stay the same Monday-Thursday, then rotate to a new schedule for Friday-Sunday.

Monday-Thursday, September 21-24

Here’s the schedule for the next four days:
