Zwift releases its Wild Isles expansion to Watopia just in time for indoor season
Zwift has officially launched its latest Watopia expansion, adding another 17km of flat roads spanning three new islands.The new landscape is inspired by the California coast, with ocean views and added wildlife.The expansion sits between the Mayan Jungle and Jarvis Island and, Zwift says, adds extra connectivity to Watopia, enabling you to bypass the jungle and add some extra flat kilometres to your rides. The 17km of flat roads enable you to bypass the climbing in the Mayan Jungle. There are nine new cycle routes added to the map and Zwift says two collections are aimed at crit racing. There are three new running routes too, if you want a change from cycling. Zwift offers you breaching whales and more in its Wild Isles expansion. Zwift suggests you slow down to see the wildlife too, with breaching whales, egrets and bison. Although bison are not native to California, apparently theres a captive herd on Catalina Island, off the coast of Los Angeles. Zwift aims some of its new roads at crit racing. Zwift first announced the Wild Isles expansion to Watopia when it previewed its plans for the app last month. These also included a full programme of races, where the islands feature too in Stage 4 of the current Tour of Watopia.It also launched version 2 of its Zwift Ride smart indoor bike, with more adjustability, including variable crank length.
