Zwift rolls out cheaper Click v2 controllers and a stack of autumn updates
Zwift has launched its new Click v2 controllers and a bunch of seasonal changes to its virtual training platform, including AI-powered recommendations and a big New York map expansion.
The new Click v2 set costs £50 / US$50 / €50 and bundles with the Zwift Cog v2 singlespeed trainer adapter, allowing for virtual shifting. The coin-cell powered controllers house menu navigation, steering, four action buttons, and virtual shifting, and Zwift says they now work on drop, flat, or aero bars. Click v2 will also ship with selected 'Zwift ready' smart trainers.
On the software side, Zwift is introducing AI ride recommendations (November), which feed you personalised routes and workout suggestions, RoboPacer sessions, and events based on your goals and recent training load. Zwift also says its post-ride "progress report" has been updated with clearer fitness, goals, and status summaries, and weekly goals can now auto-adjust.
World updates include the largest New York expansion for a while: 31 km of new roads and 16 rideable routes. Zwift also says its racing is now fairer with "score decay," which basically adjusts your form accordingly if you haven't raced in 30 days, optional categorisation by 30-day best score, and new anti-bot/anti-cheat detection.
