One year Later: I had almost given up hope on Biking after suffering several injuries after a road bike crash with a concussion and some broken ribs. I slowly returned to all activities over the summer concentrating on events. I had pretty much forgotten about the Tron Bike until one day about 2 week’s ago, out of curiosity, I checked where I was on the Everest Challenge and found out I was only about 8500 meters from completion. I got pretty excited about that and started doing the dumb stuff again like Alp du Zwift because I couldn’t remember where I had seen this video before. Tonight, I sat down and just hunted for you my friend because I knew your way would get me to my goal within the next week or so. I found the video tonight just before starting the 2024 Tour De Zwift tonight. I’ll be doing both running and cycling but I will also be making sure that I grind out this last remaining 6000 meters using your method as I really want that concept bike speed and efficiency. So thanks once again for taking the time to put this together. I truly appreciate it and this time I’m subscribing to really show my appreciation! 👊🏽💯🙏🏽😎
Thanks for posting. The more I learn, the more I enjoy Zwift. I will probably continue my riding emphasis on getting route badges, but I appreciate you offering this insight.
Thank you for posting🙏🏽 saw the post on Facebook. I’ll probably make it more like six months from now as I’m in no rush. I like this much better than those grueling 3 hours climbs. Thank you again 🙏🏽
If only I knew this trick early on. It took me like a year or more to get the Tron bike through my regular riding style. I wasn't going to grind the Alpe or anything, but this would've made it a lot easier to rack up the elevation. Thanks for posting!
Your welcome =), I did the Alpe once and straight away said nope not happening lol, I tried all the hills in watopia as I knew that its the course you can ride everyday. This worked out to be the best bang for buck in terms of effort =).. You could guess I was a math major so the first thing I was looking for was free momentum.
Ohhh thank you!!! Started Zwift 25 days ago, managed to get to the top once but unfortunately it's not on my stats, as I opened in the same time the app in mobile and pc:( since then I feel angry but now u gave me a target to accomplish!!!
Thanks for the tip ! I've done this a few times now. An easy'ish endurance/tempo ride up the Alpe for me takes about 1:30. I get an extra 1000' of elevation gain in the same time using your method. So still getting a great workout and if I get bored I just continue on and climb all the way to the Radio tower. I think I got just over 5K gained in an 1:45 on the last one. Can't wait to unlock the Tron so I can stop thinking about it. I'm a video game min/max'er so the grind is part of the fun ! I'll go for all the badges later once I know I have the best race bike for my level :)
Started doing this mid July 2022 and just managed to get the Tron bike today mid Jan 2023! If this is the easiest way I’d hate to do it the hard way lol. Must have spent 90% of my rides during that time just going up and down, up and down. Good exercise for my Gammy knee thought!
Thanks for the tip, much appreciated. I did this today and managed 519 meters in about 40 mins and there was also someone else there doing it at the same time lol ! Apart from the elevation gains I also found it a great exercise! I have an unrepairable knee injury so whilst I like grinding up hill I can only do so much continuously. This for me was perfect, a nice bit of grind followed by a bit of zooming downhill and repeat. Really enjoyed it and will definitely will be doing it again so thanks again. A great tip!
Honestly, it's still doing hill repeats any way you look at it. You're still on a trainer for an hour, two or more. If you can do that sort of repeating routine and it's enjoyable then go for it. It's the Zwift version of videogame power-leveling.
I use my long training sessions on ADZ and gain the elevation plus I get the bonus points from the spinner to level up quicker. I have at least 2 sessions a week that can complete ADZ at a fairly easy tempo. I would get very bored doing this method just to get a tron bike, but it is good info for people who want to get it quickly.
Thanks, I haven't done a u-turn in over 2 years lol, back then I used my companion app to do the u-turns, but as you can see it wasn't working when I was trying to make the video =).. but thanks for the tip. Good luck with the Tron bike.. put some good music on lol.. its a grind but at least you won't be tired. =)
Hi, thanks for the post. But dont you have to be at some special challenge, to unlock the bike in the first time ? and then do all the rides after that.
You'll gain elevation faster if you go to the section a few turns later, "the Snowy Dip". A little bit more lead-in though. Its great for doing warmups.
@@smarty8772 It’s half way up the Epic KOM Reverse. There’s a part of the road where it’s going downhill for a little while and then back up, and you can ride back and forth in this section to gain elevation quickly. This part of the road has snow on each side, that’s why people call it the «Snowy Dip». Ride into the dip, gain speed, push it a little bit to keep the speed uphill, then ease up and do a U turn. Repeat. For every «lap» you’ll gain about 45-50m of elevation.
@@smarty8772More precisely, ride towards the Tower until you get to 256m elevation. Then you’ll roll down into the snowy dip (235m). Same technique as this video describes, except the snowy dip is larger and will gain your elevation more rapidly.
@Master Tofu i've tried your tactic, if you go abit lower on the climb i get around 16.4mA/minute. start from the tree, go downhill and climb 11m then u-turn do 10m and then repeat. This is with low effort. do a u-turn where u are at around 02:40 and then again at 3:43
yes I agree, I normally turn at 2:45 and 3:43 when I rode this myself, keep in mind I was still yapping away when doing the recording but my point is keep the effort low and keep u-turn using the momentum to give you free elevation gains =).
so if you do a full climb you cant take advantage of the downhill speed to gain free altitude from it. with this method you gain say 50 m and translate that to speed which gives you, say, 10m up the other side yo uthen have to pedal 40m. so you save maybe 10% per 100m vertical plus get the benefit of recovery between reps but the downside must be extra time
Master Tufu, I noticed that you made a stop at tree on the right. Wouldn’t it be better to keep the pace while making a u-turn? Then you will start the descent with a higher speed with a higher end speed as result.
Yes it would be, I stopped for the video so I can show the viewers the tree =), normally you keep the pace going push the down key to u-turn and keep going.
I do 2x 45 min structured workouts every week and always select a hilly route such as the uber pretzel, but there is still a lot of flats before i get to a hill. Dyou think this would gain more elevation than just picking a route?
I'm sure this will pick up heaps more elevation, it will be hard to do it with a workout as you will u-turn every min, but if you have an active recovery or endurance workout this will be perfect. Second half of the video I show my strava rides using this method, I average 500m per 30 mins.. and normally I still do races and workout during the week as this is not taxing at all on the legs =).. it is however very boring lol
@@tofuhiker I tried a comparison today with this method. Over the 45 minute workout i gained an extra 30m using your method, over just selecting the uber pretzel and riding normally. I could take it a step further by pausing the workout on the descents before the uturn at the bottom, thereby using all my energy doing the uphill section, but adding time to the workout obviously. I'm just wondering if there are any hillier routes out there to use.
@@utterlyexiged yes there are a few hilly routes, in workout mode I would suggest France world and riding the ven-top (best bang for buck), are you sure you are only gaining 30m more in a 45min workout? are you u-turning every min or so? riding the uber pretezel route for 45min-1hr only cover the epic kom the rest is relatively flat.
Road to sky around 1h12 over 1000m its a grind tho in fact it was faster as 13k was downhill you could just stop at the top but that would lose you a easy 13 to 15km downhill.use the trek emond unlocks early.
You got the Thumbs Up from me. But I feel everyone needs the Hard Work. Otherwise it is a game and not training. I use Zwift to train. I wish I had enough time to use it as a game. Ride On! 🚲🚲🤙🏼✌🏼❤
Thank you for the thumbs up, not everyone who uses zwift wants to become a better cyclist, some are recovering from surgery, others do it for exercise and improvement of health, each to their own and for those who treat this as a game and wish to claim this flashy tron bike as a novelty they would find it handy =).. especially those who have been at it for the past year or so with little progress as we all know not everyone is a climber =).. Ride on!!
@@tofuhiker I can definitely agree with you. And I promote all riders getting on the bike. Wherever they are in the journey. I still Don't have the Tron Bike. 😩🚲🚲✌🏼❤
@@tofuhiker from the same starting point it's 3.1 km. It puts you underneath the gondola. I was able to achieve 1280 meters in 1 hour. I was climbing 15 meters on each leg before U-turning.
Do you have to make a right turn to get to this location after turning around? I could not find it. I got to a fork in the road but it only let me go left and no option to go right.
@@jjay718 I doubt it's a level thing, zwift probably just updated their game to disallow it, the only other option is to ride there the long way. Look for route that passes through reverse KOM.
I rode Zwift for a year without selecting Everest challenge. I'd done almost enough climbing to get the Tron bike..but none of it counted. I'm now slogging up the Alpe a couple of times a week, with the challenge selected. I actually enjoy riding the Alpe.. thankfully. Ven top is awful
=) yes no one tells you that you must select the challenge first, if you enjoy ADZ keep it up it will make you a stronger rider very soon, hopefully you can get the TRON soon shouldn't be hard considering you are gaining 3000m+ every week.
I was just pointing out it seems the U-turn button didn't work for me yesterday on that second hill. Wondering if Zwift might have disabled the button in that spot to stop us?
I never saw that comment, but if u-turn button didn't work, try using the down arrow key, or the companion app to control the avatar. Most likely it's glitch on their updates.. heaps of people on FB is complaining about connection problems and issues with Zwift after their latest update to the new interface. I hope you get it working again =).
I've never tried that but I still would think it's a tad bit harder than this method as the constant grind up the Alpe isn't as easy for some riders as it is for others.
Somehow for me at 1:29 I don't get the reverse kom but only the left turn. Has somebody experienced the same kind of issue and maybe knows why it behaves like that? Is my level not High enough (lvl 18) or do I have to ride a specific route before?
@@tofuhikerquick update on that, rode the full course after leaving the comment. Tried exact the same procedure as on the weekend. Today it worked. So if someone experiences the same issue, they should ride the full Jungle circuit at first.
This is a great method however if you do the Alpe you kill two birds with one stone. You get the elevation for the Tron bike bike but you also get credit towards the badge for completing the 5 and 25 times.
It’s only the looks :). It not better than most bikes, but nice to have in the garage if you just want to have some colour rolling around in the virtual world :).
It's really ironic that the Tron bike isn't the best climbing bike in the game. You do all this climbing to get it, but it's pretty low tier for climbing. It's a great overall bike, but gets outclassed in later levels.
That's correct, I myself hardly ride it anymore =), which makes it really fun to try and get early on into the game when you haven't leveled up to lvl30 or 40 so you can get a better climbing bike.
Of course it is work, it's a nice glowing bike =), either way you look at it you must climb 50,000 m to achieve this bike, weather its 5 years (watched one bloke take that long) or 7 days (according to a post I read on FB).
How did you go Drew? it's boring but gets you the elevation without a big effort =).. It's Spring in Australia and I'm currently off zwift for the next few months. The username is Master Tofu.
@@drewa4445 any setting you want to, you should try and ride it at zone 2 with a comfortable cadence, if you run out of gears and feel like your are grinding reduce the trainer difficulty, that way you can push out a 1-2 hours each session, use the down key arrow for a quick u-turn.

@@drewa4445 any setting you want to, you should try and ride it at zone 2 with a comfortable cadence, if you run out of gears and feel like your are grinding reduce the trainer difficulty, that way you can push out a 1-2 hours each session, use the down key arrow for a quick u-turn.
