My time on the jungle circuit while riding the Zwift Tour was significantly off by past times. Your explanation makes it clear what has happened.

Changing bikes in game won’t change your power numbers directly. Maybe you were inspired to push harder now that you had a faster bike? (Works outdoors that way… 🙂

i rode the jungle today for tour de zwift stage 7 – did most of the 3 laps on road bike and only switched to MTB for the last half a lap. The difference was huge. In particular it was noticeable that the power data was higher on the MTB than the road bike for the same cadence and HR data, or at least i am pretty sureit was. Does that make sense?

ie in strava, having ridden most of it on road bike, my HR data and power data are otu of sync, riding HR at threshold and power at endurance level, obviously it didnt feel like that, felt much harder!

Nah, they’re the same. See https://zwiftinsider.com/crr for details

What about cobbles? Would a Tron bike be superior on a given patch of rough cobbles than say an Aeroad with DT Swiss? I don’t know how Zwift handles that.

I bet most Zwift subscribers had/have no idea this has changed and they’re getting unknowingly screwed in events.

Stop moving, then go to your garage and you can switch bikes.
