The Tron bike (named the “Zwift Concept Z1” in game) is definitely the coolest ride in Zwift (and one of the fastest). How do you get it? Three simple (but not easy) steps:
- Select the “Climb Mt. Everest” challenge in Zwift, and start climbing.
- At the top of Mt Everest (8,850m) keep going!
- Climb 41,150 additional meters and you will unlock the coveted “Concept Z1” (aka “the Tron bike”)
Once you’ve unlocked your Tron, see if you can dial in a nice multicolored light scheme >
I’m afraid I still don’t understand. Climbing Everest is a prerequisite? 50,000 m of climb isn’t sufficient by itself? Is it necessary to do the additional 50,000 meters on the Everest climb, or is just your climbing meters once you’ve completed Everest? Thanks for the details.
Choosing the Everest climb as your challenge is a prerequisite. Climbing Everest is the first 8,850 meters of your required 50,000 meters. So, yes, climbing Everest is a prerequisite, and then “climb 41,150 additional meters”.
Can it be done a dumb trainer? I’m doing it on a dumb trainer and it’s accepting my rides and elevation. I’m halfway..but I wonder, if it will actually unlock the bike for me as I’m not on a smart trainer. I’ll be so disappointed if i don’t get it. Any idea?
Absolutely it can be done with a dumb trainer!
Seems that what I climb in races or events does not always get added to my total climb towards the 50000 m Tron bike. Any reason why?
If you’ve got the challenge selected, and you’re saving your rides when you’re done… it should be added. If it isn’t, I’d contact Zwift support.
Does the challenge take already climbed meters into account retroactively?
Nope.
So I have to Everest all in one ride, then climb the additionally required meters in the same ride? Seems impossible yet I see Tron bikes everywhere
It’s cumulative—doesn’t have to be all in one ride. Although I known of ONE Zwifter who did it all in one ride!
Sorry to be so dense. I understand that the Everest ride and the additional 41,000+ do NOT have to take place at the same time. BUT… do you have to the Everest portion all at once, or can you pedal part of Everest and come back to it later. Thanks.
None of the parts have to be at once. It’s all cumulative.
Purchased a bike never got it.
After you finish Mt Everest and are continuing to climb towards 50k meters, do you need to leave it on Mt Everest or can you change to a different challenge and still be climbing towards tron bike?
Gotta keep it on the Everest challenge if you want your climbing to count toward the Tron bike.
Hi. I would like to know when will my Zwift Tron bike be available as I’ve done the total climbing and distance to unlock the Tron bike
YouTube link at the bottom doesn’t work any more.
Removed, thanks!
