    Today, Zwift released details for their upcoming Zwift Unlocked tour which kicks off October 6.

    Featuring double XP, XP bonuses, extra-long powerups, and a sweet urban kit, the 5-stage series comprises long and short group rides, races, and runs all held on brand-new routes. Read on for details…

    Double Up

    This season, Zwift Unlocked is effectively replacing the popular Tour of Watopia with its double XP. But never fear: we’re getting double XP for all Zwift Unlocked events!

    Additionally, powerups are doubled in length.

    New Routes

    All Zwift Unlocked rides and runs are held on brand-new routes in Watopia, Makuri Islands, Scotland, and New York. (That’s 10 new routes to ride, and 5 new run-only routes. See details below.)

    Sneak peek of the New York expansion

    The most exciting new routes will be used for stages 4 and 5, when Zwift reveals their New York expansion, including the new power segments feature. Read more about the expansion >

    Race Categories and GC Results

    Category groups for Zwift Unlocked races are structured like ZRacing events in recent months. That is, Zwift has set up three different Zwift Racing Score-based categorization schemes that rotate, so you can join events where you’re near the top of your category, or closer to the bottom:

    • Advanced: 650+
    • Category Range 1: 0-159 | 160-269 | 270-389 | 390-509 | 510-649
    • Category Range 2: 0-209 | 210-329 | 330-449 | 450-569 | 570-724

    Learn more on the ZRacing homepage >

    There’s also an overall GC (general categorization) competition where riders are ranked by their best time on each stage. See results at zwift.com/zwift-unlocked/races.

    Unlocked, Unlocked

    Completing Zwift Unlocked stages earns you various in-game rewards. Riders will unlock the following:

    • 1 Stage: Zwift Unlocked Beanie
    • 3 Stages: 1,000 XP (in addition to all the double XP you’ll get!)
    • All 5 Stages: Zwift Unlocked Kit

    Runners will unlock the Zwift Unlocked running kit after completing just 1 stage.
