Pinarello Dogma 2024 Colorway Unlock

Complete all 5 stages to unlock a Zwifty color scheme for the Pinarello Dogma F 2024 frame! This new frame is possibly the top all-arounder in game (read about it), and the custom colorway (shown above) is Zwifty indeed.

FYI: if you unlock the new colorway before owning the frame, that’s alright. Once you buy the frame you’ll be able to apply the new paintjob to it.

I’ll be riding all 5 races, because after almost 9 years on Zwift, this is my chance to finally have my in-game bike match my IRL one! (Photo taken on this morning’s outdoor ride…)

Series Structure

The ZRacing series consists of monthly sets of weekly races. Each race is scheduled for seven days (Monday through Sunday) and timeslots are consistent week to week.

Races are scheduled hourly times each day at 10 minutes past the hour, so there are plenty of available times to find a race.

Zwift Racing Score Test Events

Zwift Racing Score will continue to be tested this month on certain ZRacing events. Zwift is keeping the adjusted scoring bands that went into effect mid-August:

Scored events will occur at 0810, 1110, 1710, 1810, and 2210 UTC each day. These time slots will use 5 categories, except the 1710 and 1810 time slots which will use 10 categories.

See upcoming scored race events >

IMPORTANT: there is a monthly GC for the 5-category scored races, and it is separate from the monthly GC for the standard category-enforced races. (See links below for each.) The 10-category scored races are not included in any GC.

Monthly GC on ZwiftPower

Each monthly series includes a time-based GC (general classification) tracking riders’ best finishing times for each week’s race. The overall winners in each category for the month are the riders with the lowest overall time for that month’s set of races.

See September’s GC on ZwiftPower >
See September’s Zwift Labs (Racing Score) GC on ZwiftPower >

With over 150 weekly timeslots available, riders can race each week’s event multiple times and try to better their finishing time. Tip: the fastest times usually come from the largest race fields!

You must use a heart rate monitor to show up in ZwiftPower results for this series.

Get the Badge

Each month’s ZRacing series has a unique achievement badge, which you can unlock by finishing every stage for the month. There are no makeup events, so if you miss a stage, you miss out on the badge and competing in the GC.

One and Done

Zwift has planned these events to deliver a solid 1-hour workout, so each race should only take around 1 hour to complete, including your warmup and cooldown.
