It’s been teased for almost a month, but Zwift’s latest map expansion is finally open for business riding. Modeled after the big cities of Japan, Neokyo offers a fun, vibrant feel plus eight new routes.

Zwift Neokyo update

Hidden within the world of the Makuri Islands and doubling it in size, Neokyo offers a completely different experience with huge buildings, wild neon lighting, and a dazzling arcade that’s comically filled with “arcade games”—bikes on stationary trainers in front of a screen.

In total, there are eight new routes, with the longest offering 20.2 miles and 2,261ft of climbing. Neokyo is fairly compact, so the longer routes will loop around a few times, sometimes climbing into the rooftops.

RAILWAYS AND ROOFTOPS 

Take to the upper city where you will race along city railways and rooftops.
Distance: 3.8 mi // 6.1 km, Elevation Gain: 226 ft // 68.9 m

ROOFTOP RENDEZVOUS 

Feel the burn as you climb to the top of Neokyo, scaling rooftops and monorails on the way.
Distance: 2.3 mi // 3.7 km, Elevation Gain: 16.7 ft // 5.1 m

NEON FLATS 

Paint the town as you dominate three sprints along this flat route through the city.

SLEEPLESS CITY 

Make your way through the heart of the city as you wind along this fast route.
Distance: 5.7 mi // 9.2 km, Elevation Gain: 268 ft // 81.7 m

WANDERING FLATS 

This long flatter route will take you from the scenic countryside to the bustling city.
Distance: 16 mi // 25.7 km, Elevation Gain: 866 ft // 264 m

There had better be vending machines with beer, hot and cold coffee and pokaris sweat on every street corner or I’ll be sorely disappointed!

The vending machines should launch your power ups as you ride by! A Can of Boss thrown at you for an aero helmet
