    All About Zwift Robopacers (Formerly Known as Pace Partners)

    Eric Schlange
    By Eric Schlange

    Since their release in August 2020, Pace Partners have become a popular part of the Zwift landscape, providing always-on group rides/runs at a consistent pace. In November 2022 they were renamed “RoboPacers”, to differentiate them from HoloReplay ghosts.

    Here’s a quick snippet of one RoboPacer in action:

    As the name says, RoboPacers are bots, not real people. They ride at a consistent pace on a particular route, and you can easily join them if you’re looking to ride with others.

    This page contains everything we know about RoboPacers. Let’s dive in!

    Meet Your RoboPacers

    Here’s a complete list of running and riding RoboPacers, along with each of their paces:

    Cycling RoboPacers

    • Taylor – 1.1 W/kg
    • Bernie – 1.5 W/kg
    • Miguel – 1.8 W/kg
    • Maria – 2.2 W/kg
    • Coco – 2.6 W/kg
    • Yumi – 2.9 W/kg
    • Jacques – 3.2 W/kg
    • Genie – 3.7 W/kg
    • Constance – 4.2 W/kg

    Note: all cycling RoboPacers weigh 75kg and are 175cm tall.

    Running RoboPacers

    • Billy – 6.0 kph
    • Louis – 6.7 kph
    • Maggie – 7.5 kph
    • Dean – 8.0 kph
    • Lizzy – 8.6 kph
    • Roger – 9.2 kph
    • Audrey – 10.0 kph
    • Jesse – 10.9 kph
    • Kat – 12.0 kph
    • Carl – 13.3 kph
    • Joan – 15 kph

    Uses for RoboPacers

    Zwifters use RoboPacers in a variety of ways:

    • Warmups and Cooldowns: getting ready for a race or tough group ride? Get your legs spinning with a pack of friends. It’s more fun than dropping into a map alone, and it helps get you into that group ride mode.
    • Group practice: still learning how to stay in the draft and ride efficiently on Zwift? RoboPacer packs are the perfect place to practice. Move around in the group, noting how it gets harder or easier depending on if you’re off the front, tailgunning on the back, or sitting somewhere mid-pack.
    • Steady training or long distance: looking for a steady effort? You always know what the RoboPacers will be doing.
    • Intervals: interval training with a RoboPaced group is more fun than doing it alone. Try riding off the front for X minutes, or dropping off the back then sprinting on.
    • Fitness Testing: want to push yourself? Choose a RoboPacer that rides above your race pace, and see how long you can hang on. Then come back and do it again!
    • Meeting a Friend: want to ride with a friend? Just tell them which RoboPacer group you’ll be in, and they can join whenever they’d like!

    Joining a RoboPacer

    Find all the currently-active RoboPacers under “Find a Pacer Group” on your homescreen. Each Pacer’s card has details about what that particular Pacer is doing:

    Select the RoboPacer you want and click to start riding/running with them. The game will give you a little burst of speed to make sure you don’t get dropped right away, but it’s best to be pedaling/running before you’re dropped in the world so you’re already up to speed!

    Where Is the RoboPacer?

    Here’s a little tip many Zwifters don’t know: when you click on a RoboPacer’s card from your home screen, a route map will pop up which includes the RoboPacer’s current location. It can be a little hard to see, but it’s the grey circle with a RoboPacer symbol inside.

    Riding RoboPacers
    Running RoboPacers

    A Note About Dynamic Pacing

    Cycling RoboPacers use dynamic pacing, increasing power by up to 10% uphill and decreasing up to 20% when descending. This provides for a more natural overall pace, as riders on smart trainers instinctively boost their power on climbs and decrease it on descents. Just like outdoors!

    Drops Multiplier Game

    The Drops Multiplier game was created to encourage riders to stay close to the RoboPacers. It provides a bit of a challenge to help us engage and learn how to manage our position in the virtual peloton – a useful skill for races and group rides. And of course, we all like more Drops, so we can fill our virtual garages with more bikes and wheels!

    The big idea here is: stay close enough to the RoboPacer and your Drops Multiplier will increase, which means you’ll be earning Drops faster. It takes 5 minutes to fill each stage, so after 5 minutes of riding close enough to a RoboPacer your multiplier will go from x1.0 to x1.2 (this means you’re earning Drops 20% faster than before.) 5 more minutes and it will go to x1.4, then x1.6, then x1.8, then x2.0, then x2.5.

    It will stay at x2.5 as long as you stay close enough to your RoboPacer.

    Starting out: Drops Multiplier at 1.0
    Next step: Drops Multiplier at 1.2

    Chance of Thumbderstorms

    If you’re looking to get a lot of Ride Ons, there’s no better place in Zwift than a big RoboPacer group. Not only do the RoboPacers hand out Rides Ons regularly, but riders in the groups do it as well! Many Zwifters have received their “Bigger Than Jensie” badge (100 Ride Ons) simply by hanging with Coco long enough…

    RoboPacer FAQ

    Do RoboPacers draft?
    Yes.

    Can I draft behind a RoboPacer?
    Yes.

    What’s the story behind Coco Cadence’s name change?
    That’s a story Simon tells best.

    Development Timeline

    For the true Zwift nerds, here’s a timeline of Pace Partner/RoboPacer evolution:

    • August 2020: Cycling Pace Partners go live as a “minimum viable product” (MVP) version
    • September 2020: Drops Multiplier game launched for Cycling Pace Partners. UI tweaks to help you join and stay with the Pace Partners (read more).
    • October 2020:  Beacon added over Pace Partners for easier visibility, and warnings shown to help you make the right turn to stay with the Pace Partner (read more).
    • December 2020: Run Pace Partners go live
    • January 2021: Pace Partner UI tweaks made to help you stay close
    • February 2021: Drops Multiplier game tweaks make it easier to get those Drops. Lower-level Zwifters can now follow Pace Partners into level-locked areas of Watopia. Read more >
    • March 2021: route rotation announced for cycling Pace Partners
    • April 2021: Zwift tests non-drafting Pace Partners… but not for long!
    • September 2021: Zwift moves Pace Partners server-side, making things more stable and paving the way for much more powerful features.
    • November 2021: Pace Partners launch in Makuri Islands, marking the first time the bots have appeared anywhere other than Watopia. A sign of things to come?
    • March 2022: dynamic pace testing begins, making Pace Partners decrease efforts on descents and increase on inclines for a more natural riding experience.
    • May 2022: a raft of new Pace Partners are released for testing various paces. Test events are held with Pace Partners as beacons/leaders, including Alpe du Zwift climbs and chase races.
    • August 2022: homescreen UI revamped to display all Pace Partners as well as their route, group size, current w/kg, speed, and location on the map.
    • September 2022: Pace Partners graduate out of FutureWorks. A whole new set of Pace Partners is spun up, and the list of Watopia and Makuri Islands routes for the Pace Partners is finalized.
    • November 2022: Pace Partners are renamed RoboPacers.

      I was surpised to see Robopacers in Urukazi today. Shouldn’t be there. Maybe they got lost.

      As a 110 kg Clydesdale, it is very easy to outpace the Robo and accidentally leave the group after cresting a hill and accelerating away as you speed downhill. Even not pedaling fails to stop this. Can a means of indicating your desire to stay in the group be built in or have the software recognize the zero cadence?

      Maybe just fall off the back a little bit during the climb, so the group is a 2-3 seconds ahead as you go down the hill?

      This would be a very extreme option, but if you really are barreling downhill fast enough you would like to brake a bit, opening the pairing screen will do that. Make sure you close it pretty quickly though, or the group will ride right past you.

      I have the same issue. I find myself pulling the break levers on my bike to slow down 🙂 If i don’t drop off at the front due to passing >40m ahead of Maria, I often get overtaken when I hit another ascent with reduced momentum.

      That makes it more fun though. If you want to stick close with the robot then its easier on flat routes.

      The Robopacer leaves, but everyone else in the group is stuck, forever riding the same loop, over and over, unable to ever get off their trainer or stop pedalling.

      To join a RoboPacer mid-ride, I was able to use “Fan View” to locate the RP and manually navigate to meet; not able to anymore.

      After joining a RoboPacer mid-ride, one would have to manually turn to follow RB.

      Anyone have tips and tricks for this? Assumingly, a solution will require development.

      What if you choose the route that the Robo is already on and start riding it first, then mid-ride use Fan View to locate it? That way you should be on the same route and the turns will be the same?

      Yes, choosing the RP’s route at ride start will work, but many usually opt to join a RP after finishing a race or ride event, which may be on a different route. Unfortunately, the “fan view” on an RP is not enabled. Eric, any Z wisdom on this to share? Thanks

      Pace Partner are on +/- 0.3 W/Kg
      But when trying to choose one I see many with the same W/Kg value! (Your picture shows it as well)
      I’m specially seeking for 2.0 where I see only 1.8 and then 2.2!
      Do I miss something?

      There is no 2.0 (you can see our list of pacers above in this post, it goes from 1.8 to 2.2 as you’ve observed). There are two pacers at each pace value – one in Watopia, one in Makuri Islands.

      Pace Partner sounded so much friendlier and encouraging. I’m sure the name change was discussed at several meetings and such. I don’t know how they came up with this new name but it makes no sense because it didn’t improve anything. Putting all of those consonants together for such a simple concept is a waste of human energy. Pace Partner was simple quick and conveyed the concept much more efficiently.

      Agreed! Everyone will just call them Pace Partners forever, anyway.

      The home screen doesn’t use the new name and says “Find a Pacer Group”, so I don’t think I’ll ever need to use the new name, and nor will it become normalised in my mind.

      A 2.0w/kg option would be good as currently, there is a 22% difference between 1.8 – 2.2w/kg.

      Robopacers seem like a good idea, but due to a number of factors don’t work that great on rolling courses compared to flat. Firstly at 75kg they are over 10kg heavier than the equivalent w/kg thresholds used for racing. The dynamic pacing to me seems to miss the point, if you want to do a constant effort then you should stay at the effort on a climb and keep on the effort on a descent. There’s lots of surging in robopacer packs as riders actually doing a constant effort go off the front on a descent and then have to… Read more »

      I guess that anyone wanting to ride a rigid steady power could choose the flat route options (there is always one flat and one hilly/rolling option at each power level) to reduce the effect of dynamic pacing. Or set up a workout with a fixed power level. I would suggest that the majority of users like the fact that a Pace Partner group behaves like a group IRL and ride it naturally rather than on a fixed power. In that sense dynamic pacing is a massive improvement as the early pacers would always fall back on the climbs and run… Read more »

      Is there any way to join a pace partner/robopacer mid-ride? i.e like you can do with training sessions. I never ride with the faster pace partners as I don’t want to do a threshold effort with no warm-up. Maybe something to add if not already in the game.

      I do think that it would be great to be able to select another pace partner and jump across to them – so warm up with one partner, then select a faster pacer and be transported to them, and then switch back for a cool down.

      However, at the moment you need to end the ride and choose a new pace partner from the home screen. At least we no longer have to exit Zwift completely!

      When you exit a session and join another that’s in the same world, the load time is minimal. Seems this is a reasonable trade-off for “good enough” to me.

      Whether Zwift uses “Pace Partner” or RoboPacer” really doesn’t concern me, but I wish Zwift could coordinate their communications to at least be consistent. They announced the change to RoboPacer over a week ago IIRC, and yet their own Companion app still names any Activity with a pacer as “Pace Partner Ride: ….”.

      The jumps between some of the W/Kg of the RoboPacers are quite big…

      Eric – do you have any stats on what wattage is required to sit in the draft behind each RoboPacer on different bikes?

      i.e. If I wanted to rider behind a RoboPacer at 3.4W/Kg, is there a heavier, less aero bike & wheelset I could choose to ride behind Genie (3.2W/Kg) that would mean I’d have to put out more watts to keep up – so giving the same effect as being behind a 3.4W/Kg RoboPacer on,say, a Tron bike?

      I’ve never done a post about that specifically, no, although you could do the math and figure it out pretty closely I think. Just a combination of known Zwift draft physics, plus the Crr of different bike types (https://zwiftinsider.com/crr). That Crr post has watt savings numbers in it…

      It’s a big gap between 3.2 watts/kg and 3.7 watts/kg 🤔

      I find that riding with a pacer, i either go off the front or the back on ascents/descents, losing the drop multipliers every time

      Easy solution: pedal less. Or more. Depending on where you’re at. 🙂

      Seriously, though: RoboPacers are a GREAT way to practice riding in a pack on Zwift. Good practice for efficient racing.

      You do need to pay attention to the position of the pacer or you can lose them one way or another.
      I have to ease off on the descents and then ramp up the power or they will fly past me.
      It’s good fun and keeps up the interest.

      Is it just me that is fi ding it hard to see the new robopacers? The pace partners were so bright coloured but the new robopacers are dark grey almost black so very hard to see. In a big group I often can’t tell if they are in front or behind me.

      They’re brightly colored on my screen. Weird that you’re seeing them as dark grey! Maybe contact Zwift support, and/or reinstall Zwift…?

      Dark gray robots are probably your HoloReplays, rather than the standard RoboPacers

      How do I change which group level I want to ride with? The only level that shows in my screen is D-level and there are 5 options for only D-level.

      The new UI screen is a scroller, but not shown outright. The others are probably to the right

      Hi, is the quoted w/kg for the pacer on the front or in the draft as they will give different results ? If they quote say 3 I can usually stay in the group on a lot less.

      Why do they not post the pace partner information for the day on the Companion app?

      Does the multiplier take effect during events? I tried it today and it didn’t seem to be working (no multiplier bar showing), but every now and then I saw the pace partner symbol appear in the drops counter. So, I wasn’t sure if maybe I was just out of range too often.

      Hi Eric,
      Has anything changed?
      On my homescreen only 4 Robopacers appear, I cannot select/join any of the others. Are there any restrictions? Something like you can only join a Robopacer of your category? And if that’s happening, now we can’t use them to do Intervals or Fitness Tests. Anyone can relate?

      Sounds like you’re on the new homescreen. Just scroll the Robopacer list to the right and you’ll see the rest of them!

      Hi again…
      I saw some people complaining about the gap between the Pace Partners… And we have the same Pace Partner riding at the same time at same pace on different routes.
      Adding a few more Pace Partners probably would be too crowded, but…
      Why do not make the same PacePartner ride at two similar paces on that routes? For example: Taylor 1.1w/kg on Volcano Circuit and Taylor 1.3w/kg on Makuri 40, and so on… Like this we would have more paces covered.

      Yes, but you have to ride the course from start to finish, not the route from where you started. So you probably did a full lap, but stopped before you did the route completely from start to finish

      I’ve recently started trying Robo Pacers for tempo workouts. My FTP is ca 4.0 w/kg. I’ve joined pacers doing 3.2 – 3.7 w/kg. I’m up to speed when the session startts, I try to stay as close to the pacer as possible.

      Still I find that I often end up riding at 4 – 4.3 w€kg just to keep up & stay in the group.

      What am I missing?

      How much impact does the bike / wheel choice have?

      Why not award a special jersey for the rider with the most miles in a pace partner group. when that rider drops out it go to the next in line. Incentive to go a little further

      Is riding behind robopacers comparable to trasmoto training in some how?
      (If you choose right pacer)

      Hey, it would be great if you could warm up with a robo pacer and then have marked turn to exit to the next level bot, also same to go down a level.. this would provide a great warm up to try a faster bot than you might otherwise choose

      Over the last several days (not tonight) there were no pacers between 1.6 and 2.5 … for us D people, this is just simply too big of a jump. 1.6 easy and 2.5 can’t hold for long. Really need a pacer every .3 to .4 all the time. I sometimes like to do long rides on the weekends with pacers … but couldn’t this past weekend.

      That shows actual average speed… and that speed can vary depending on course (hillier courses = lower average speed) and number of riders in the pack (more riders = faster speed).

      Miguel’s name and distance behind label is white text on yellow banner and really hard to read. Any chance it can be contrasting text like black on yellow?
