New to Zwift? Your rides can count towards more than you might realise. In this video, I explain Zwift’s challenges, which one I’d choose first, and what you can unlock along the way.
We’ll cover the Everest Challenge and the climb towards the Tron bike, the California and Italy distance challenges, and Factory Tour’s Lightning Socks. I’ll also explain how XP, Drops and route badges differ, plus how to earn double XP in the 2026 Tour of Watopia.
You can have one long-term challenge active at a time, but switching won’t erase your progress. So which goal will make you want to get on the bike this winter?
Let me know what you’re working towards in the comments!
