Zwift Update Version 1.88 (144046) Released

Zwift version 1.88 begins its phased rollout today. It’s a minor release, containing mostly visual tweaks and bug fixes. Read on for details…

Hilltop Hustle Opens Up

Not mentioned in Zwift’s release notes, the new “Hilltop Hustle” route which was released as event-only a few updates ago is now available to free ride in Watopia. Ready for some hill repeats?

“Close the Gap” Changes

Zwift’s release notes say, “Visual improvements to the in-game ‘Close the Gap’ banner.” Here are more details of what has changed:

• Smoother transition between distance numbers if a closer bike comes into draft range
• Indicator now ignores players that aren’t moving
• Indicator will not appear if speed difference is outside limits (no more popup for bikes going too fast to draft)

New Climb Portals

Two new climbs have been added to the Climb Portal library:

• Cauberg (0.8km, 57m): featuring in the Amstel Gold Race on April 20
• Côte de la Redoute (1.5km, 153m): featuring in Liège–Bastogne–Liège April 27

These short climbs are scheduled in the coming days, and we’ll be building out their detail pages here on Zwift Insider ASAP.
