MyWhoosh has launched the latest version of the premier virtual riding experience for riders of all levels, with several key updates for both existing MyWhoosh users and new riders – or runners – entering the world of MyWhoosh for the first time.
Key features
Zurich Road World Championships course – total distance 26.9km
Zurich World is an iconic course that offers a thrilling experience as riders navigate through the heart of Zurich’s historic streets, alongside the picturesque shores of Lake Zurich. Once out of the city, the route offers challenging climbs and descents, deep blue lakes and dense forests – a replication of the 2024 Zurich Road World Championships circuit which the professional pelotons will tackle this September.
Users can now ride and experience sprinting on cobbled streets and ascending the steep gradients of the World Championships route of this famously mountainous region from the comfort of their homes.
The route is also exclusive to MyWhoosh for the next three years.
MyWhoosh World – total distance 333.59km (unique distance 58.56km)
An all-new fantasy world featuring dramatic landscapes and visually stimulating backdrops to make every MyWhoosh ride a memorable experience. Choose from snow-covered mountains, active volcanoes, futuristic cityscapes with magical forests and more. With 11 fantasy routes to explore, including underwater biomes and floating islands, riders can immerse themselves in amazing surroundings for an adventurous workout with numerous options and possibilities.
MyWhoosh World will initially be open to Season Pass holders only (see below), with either free or paid options available.
Season Pass
Whether a casual cyclist or professional racer, the new Season Pass sets challenges to unlock exclusive rewards for all levels of MyWhoosh riders. Set targets, push harder, and achieve your goals to unlock coins and gems, bike accessories and garage items.
With a 90-day duration, riders can either explore the free or paid season pass, with the differing versions having their unique set of rewards for each milestone. Riders can enjoy Season Pass for free. However, if they want to get better awards and move faster through a variety of challenges, they may purchase the Season Pass for 150 gems (available to purchase for USD 10.00) which will give the opportunity to be the first to explore MyWhoosh World. The upcoming Season Pass will be available for 60 days to complete the challenges with a 30 days bonus period to collect the rewards. MyWhoosh plans to release Season Passes on a quarterly basis,
Garage items
The update also comes with a revamped garage, including 5 bikes, 7 wheels sets, 4 helmets, and 25 redesigned jerseys.
