If you’ve been waiting for a reason to jump back on your Zwift setup, maybe now’s the time. With the Tour in full swing, and Zwift being the official Training Partner of the Tour, it makes sense that they’ve launched a major expansion to its Paris map. And it’s roughly doubling its size. The centerpiece of the update is the cobbled climb to the Basilique du Sacré-Coeur de Montmartre.

It comes complete with a new KOM segment and three new sprint points: the Église Sprint, Tchou Tchou Sprint, and Monceau Sprint. If you remember, the original Paris map was launched back in 2020 for the Virtual Tour de France. And it focused on the Champs-Élysées circuit. So, this expansion brings a whole new dimension of riding in the French capital.

There are 10 new routes that you can explore right away, 8 for cyclists and 2 for runners. The options range from a quick lil’ 7.2km loop around the Arc de Triomphe to some longer endurance rides like the 74.5km Heart of Montmartre.

For the runner out there, you get a 5km city route and an 11km course that includes the Montmartre climb. So, whether you have 20 minutes or a few hours, there’s a route that fits.

Alongside the map expansion, Zwift’s Drop Shop is adding several new bikes. They include the Cervelo S5, Cannondale SuperSix Evo, Giant Propel ADSL 0, and Wilier Filante SLR ID2. Plus, there are new wheel options as well. More details are available at the link below.
