Animated “Knickerbocker” Route Details (New York) Map
Animated map provided by ZwiftHacks

New York’s “Knickerbocker” covers the same roads as the Astoria Line 8, with the KOM thrown in for good measure. (A Knickerbocker is simply a New Yorker, although the word itself has a long and interesting history.) This is the second-longest route on the NYC course.

I stayed on the correct route and rode 17.6 with no route completion. It’s definitely not working. When I looked on Zwift Companion app it had me going over a same section in the beginning twice that was not on the regular course but I didn’t do that on the actual course itself. I earned that badge!

Probably Tron overall given the time spent on the KOM. If climbing is your strength and you’re gasping to hang on on flat stretches, I’d avoid using heavy discs for “aero” setup and instead go with the Enve 7.8’s or DT Swiss 62’s because there are no flats–constant rollers.
