Zwift Shopping Guide: What To Buy from the Drop Shop at Each Level

May 14, 2025

LAST UPDATED July 11, 2025

As you progress through Zwift’s levels, you’ll unlock access to items in the Drop Shop which can be purchased with your hard-earned Drops. This inevitably leads to questions: do I buy the frame that just became available? What if there’s a faster frame unlocked at the next level? Or maybe some zippy wheels?

Here’s a complete list of frames and wheels unlocked at each level, with the most useful unlocks marked in bold and the key purchases marked with a MUST BUY. We’ve even added notes so you know what makes those unlocks special!

If the item’s price is ~~crossed out~~ it can no longer be purchased in the Drop Shop, and if an item’s name is linked you can click to read a detailed post published when the item was first added to Zwift. (Just beware that the performance characteristics of older items may have changed since they first launched – see our current charts and public test data for current performance details.)

Of course, you may want to purchase a particular frame or wheelset just because it looks cool or matches what you ride outdoors. Nothing wrong with that! Our recommendations, though, are based entirely on speed test performance.
