Some races allow steering… most don’t.

Here’s a list of upcoming races with steering allowed: https://zwifthacks.com/app/events/?key=61f9a9b49561b

In reply to Andrew. I don’t think you can use steering while racing, it is disabled. You can definitely pull back in during a free ride.

I'm curious whether the introduction of the new in-ride "steering" functionality has any bearing on what you talk about as Zwift's automatic lining up of riders and shuffling you out of the draft periodically - will riders with Steering turned on be able to keep themselves in the draft more of the time with some well timed tweeks of the front-end?

In reply to Lar. Yep, this has happened to me so many times and I just figured out it was the supertuck today! (tacx flow also)

In reply to Carl J. Try it on a free ride first. I did yesterday and was far quicker, the level of boost is similar to drafting ie about 25%

On my tacx flow I often lose connection in the supertuck. Super frustrating

In reply to anderfo. Thanks. Maybe my issue was that my rider wasn't fully stopped. Will give it a try

1. That was probably due to the (lack of) sight, not resistance.

2. Yes, you can switch during a race, but you need to make sure that you stop completely first. So do it at a place with low speed, and push A then Esc to stop quickly. Then find your quickest way to switch bike. You will probably loose 30-40 seconds, but it can be worth it if you go on dirt for a while…

You mentioned that Simon got dropped on the dirt section a couple of years ago. Didn’t realize that the dirt had resistance back then. Thought that was just recently added, or did they just recently increase the resistance when they brought out the Gravel and MTBs?

Speaking of MTBs, is it possible to switch bikes during an event? I do recall you mentioning something about people using macros before to quickly do the switch, however when I’ve tried in the past to switch bikes while riding, it wouldn’t let me. This past Sat I did the Zwift Fondo, and someone easily past by me on a MTB in the Jungle. I can’t see them using that same bike for the entire event (although they may have)
