Route Description
The jungle loop itself is almost 8km in length. In the reverse direction (clockwise), you roll through the lap banner at the loop’s lowest elevation, then ride a gradual climb (~3%) to the top of the loop before crossing the rope bridge and descending to the bottom of the valley for another lap.
The circuit is almost entirely dirt, and while this was only a visual change when the Jungle was first released, Zwift modified the rolling resistance of dirt in October 2019 and again in 2023. Now, different bike wheels perform differently in the Jungle, making your wheel choice especially strategic when racing!
