    Zwift releases update 1.0.19710

    ZwiftHQ pushed out a new update to the desktop version of the game last night, with the corresponding iOS updates coming in the next day or two. Based on the last several months, it appears that updates are being released on a fairly regular schedule typically within the first 10 days of each month.

    The biggest new feature in this update is avatar customization. The team at Zwift has made a major upgrade to our ability to upgrade our avatar (runners included!), and it is clear from the new interface that additional customization options will be coming down the road.

    Here’s what the new interface looks like, along with some details for each option:

    Kit: interface is drastically improved with previews of all the kits in your closet.
    Frame: interface improved with previews plus star ratings for weight and aero level.
    Wheels: interface improved with previews plus star ratings for weight and aero level.
    Helmet: choose between the old white helmet or a new black one. Or a cap (see unlock note below). Additional unlocks to come.
    Sunglasses: choose between two styles, and unlock a couple more once you start riding (see below).
    Gloves: just one glove option for now.
    Socks: yes! Multiple colors and patterns available (see unlocks below), PLUS you can set your sock height.
    Shoes: choose between black and white.
    Hair: additional haircut options for anyone who isn’t blessed with baldness.
    Facial hair: sorry ladies, you don’t have this option. But my beard has finally made it into the game. Excellent!
    Skin color: not much different than before the update.

     

    Within the first couple minutes of riding in game, you’ll unlock additional wearables:

    Level 25 only!

    Additional Changes

    This update also includes lots of other changes:

    • ANT+ FE-C trainer calibration button added for some trainers: this is a good first step towards helping newbies make sure their power numbers are accurate without needing to use a third-party phone app or cycling computer.
    • Bluetooth support for calibration on Wahoo and Cycleops smart trainers
    • Italian language support added
    • Runners can now earn items and level up to level 10
    • August mission added
    • Graphics slightly improved, ‘floating grass’ fixed
    • More options added to your Zwift.com connections page: now pair youra ccount with your Withings scale and MapMyRun / MapMyRide

    Game Master Jon Mayfield included this note in the update:

    We are continuing to work on our next batch of new roads, improvements to events, and some very exciting Zwift Companion app updates.

    Exciting stuff! Keep up the good work, ZwiftHQ!
