The companion app should act like a bike computer, with customizable fields and most importantly, some kind of climbpro-type functionality. If you have the HUD off, you have no insight into elevation profile (not to say that it's all that obvious what's going on even if you have the HUD on). All of the social stuff can still be there as a separate page, but it's ridiculous how bad Companion is... Especially when there is clear evidence of what works in the real world.

I still would like to see the TOTAL segment profile for the route you choose, with distance, elevation, etc - they can run it full width across the bottom like they do the wattage profile - heck even the Alpe route only shows a small portion of the profile route

On ZC events, add a filter for time. I’m only interested in events between 8am and 1pm in my time zone so allow me to hide events outside of this period

How have I never noticed the no pedals thing? Damn you Llama, this can’t be unseen now.

2024 wishlist: 1) faster login (pet peeve) 2) more long non-climb timed segments like Fuego Flats Reverse, coast road would be great for these. (being able to toggle them to TT bike only would be even better) 3) more new roads that open up 40-50km routes, coast road has been a great addition imo

I’d like to be able to see average watts without having to go into the menu while still riding

Garage Management. Absolutely agree! I don’t wear dozens of jerseys in my garage and would like the ability to delete them to declutter the selection. Merry Christmas mate 🎄🎅🏼

I’d like to see a longer memory of “previous bests” for segments and an on screen listing of those efforts.

- A climb up mt fuji. - A route anoud the alp mountain. - Alt. Clibs up col du zwift from the soutside, making it a little like stelvio with 3 climbs. - Alt climb up alp du zwift from the oposit site, resembling another epic climb.

One thing I would like to see is (much) better estimates of the time it will take to complete route badges, perhaps based on x% of FTP or previous rides on the same route. And at the same time, perhaps a bronze/silver/gold blob or something for completing each route more than once.

I am really missing the custom group workout function. Now the only option is to create a meetup where every paricipant has to select the workout which they had to create in advance. And if anybody is late they will be out of sync. Would be nice to have a solution for that.

I would like to see a 'classics world' featuring the poggio, cipressa, paterberg, muur, taaienberg, roche au faucons, etc

I think you nailed the list, I would add -2k res for Apple TV -Progress of Badge completion (eg amount of times remaining to complete climb the Alpe 25 times) -Badge list in Companion app -Ability to leave notes next to completed workout including number of stars completed * Dream feature would be a Need for speed style paint shop and garage for bike setups! Could even be in the companion app or its own standalone app.

1) Companion app should basically act as a head unit, and/or (if possible) transmit the relevant data so actual head units can read and display it. 2) Just make all worlds and routes available all the time, we all know how to get around it anyway.

Merry Christmas to you and your family and a big thank you for the quality content you have provided this year

👏 YESSS to point #5. I want to pick “load-outs” like most popular games.

So my top 5 right now 1) Kickr Bike Gear display (this wasn’t on my list a week ago, thank you Santa 😊) 2) A readable upcoming gradient display on the screen 3) The weekly group workouts are the same at the same time each week, so if you’re only free at 6pm on a Thursday, you’ll have to do the same workout again and again - they should rotate 4) RUNNING - treadmill control - other apps can read data from my bluetooth enabled treadmill and also adjust the incline but Zwift can’t 5) Scrap the stupid bike grading system and just have broad categories where all bikes in the group have the same performance (e.g. Road, MTB, Gravel, TT, Tron, other)

For me the most important feature would be displaying average watts during structured workouts

Thanks as always Shane 🙋🏻‍♂️ ... we NEED Garage sorting for Frames, Wheels, Kits 🙏🏼 ... we NEED a Velodrome 🙏🏼 ... and we NEED 5 or 6 Categories instead of 4 to minimize the W/Kg-range between for e.g. low-C to high-C riders 🙏🏼

Personally they should bin the entire drop thing 😱 and the associated shop / garage. It just seems overly complicated and I doubt anyone uses it once you have been on the platform for a while. Also bin the stupid world rotation! Let us cycle where we want!

1. More bikes/wheels to match IRL releases and ability to truly customise/change the colour. 2. Overhaul of the CE categorisation to perhaps bring in results based factors as well. 3. Being able to change avatar details/bike change from companion app before actually jumping into Zwift. 4. Ability to view actual XP number (and distance to next level) in the companion app rather than having to go into Zwift or trying to guess based on how far the orange bar is. 5. Like the idea of garage management as I haven’t bought many bikes or equipment but you do unlock a lot so even my garage is getting full. 6. A colour slider for Zwift unlocked kits/shoes/helmets etc. so even more customisation of avatar appearance. 7. Paris to be relocated to where it belongs, i.e. in France. 8. Maybe going to far now and a bit of a stretch but create Great Britain as a world and have London, Yorkshire and Scotland in there allowing you to move between those worlds in a ride (somehow).

I am devastated to know there were never pedals, my immersion is broken :( * Built in draft meter/display * Populated events in American Western prime time time zones would be great, still a ghost town :( * Single track circuits for MTB and gravel bike rides with relevant elevation profiles for those sports * A more intuitive elevation and segment lookahead while riding, or beefed up companion app view * Magic roads from RGT now that it's gone, even if it's the rainbow climb portal land * Rework categories into experience and ranking to improve competition and remove sand bagging * A crit circuit in the new watopia area, it's great terrain but needs a loop.

Along with the new annual memberships, I'd love to see a Family/Household membership level good for a few people (ex: 2-4 adults at the same address).

Love your channel. I would relish the ability to rid my collection of unused bkes, wheels and kit. I would also like access to a Velodrome for timed and mass start events.

There are so many seas, rivers and the ocean. I would love to see a rowing simulator 🚣🏻‍♀️

Yes to garage management and also yes to preferred bike setup, I mostly use the tron bike, I do not want to bother finding bike an wheels, its a hassle. And very welcome would be virtual shifting for all or most trainers

Thanks, happy Christmas and New year ✨️ 😊

I’d love to see higher graphic profiles selectable on M1/M2 iPads.

Would love to see a "magic tunnel" system put in so we could ride from one world to another. They could link some together to make things more interesting. London/Yorkshire, Paris/France, New York/Richmond would be a good start.

A tandem bike would be fun an average of both people's weight and power . Just like the waistband rides but on a tandem. Make fun for races too with people teaming up

Would love to have the workout editor in the mobile app as well

Thanks for another great year of content Shane. Have a great Christmas and New Year!

Ditto to all you said plus more flat roads. The busiest roads are the flat ones and I'd like to ride with a few people and not thousands that are always around the Tempus.

Proper integration of Zwift, Zwiftpower, & WTRL so there is one go-to place for ZRL race results, league tables, etc

1:50!!! FINALLY!!!!! I was waiting for it for 2 years already! I organize cycling competitions indoor wit zwift and it was the hottest topic everytime. Riders see their time on a dash, counting down seconds to the end, and when results popup - time there can differ up to a 45-60 seconds sometimes. And it is difficult to explain why is it so to person on 180bpm. Yeeeeeah! Good news!

Family plan! especially with the introduction of the Zwift Hub one, which allows a wider range of bike compatibility.

Improving and expanding the Clubs features. Introduce all the workout plans into the Club Workout options rather than the very limited selection Zwift have supplied. Equally allowing us to use Custom Workouts in Club Workouts. Let us make our own routes like we do on Strava, Kommoot so that when we ride the route, we turn automatically like we do on a genuine Zwift designed route

Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year, Shane!!!

I’d like to see a display next to the map that in group rides shows the Yellow beacon’s position relative to your own, both in distance and time. Often if the group is large it takes some time to see if you are in front or behind the beacon. This could be enhanced further by being able to “mark” a certain rider when in a race, perhaps with them either knowing or not knowing they were being marked.

Racing Score, loadout slots and kit/bike management. I'd be happy with that. Merry Christmas.

Oh! One more: ability to upload own GPS routes (with elevation). It may be minimally graphical but it would be cool to simulate effort of races you're training for. And merry Christmas to you, GP Lama, and your family.

As someone who recently jumped on the racing bandwagon, I would love to be able to set "favorites" for bike config or atleast have favorite frames/wheels at the top of the list. It would be nice if workout plans were better to manage allowing you to tweak things as you go along when life gets in the way or unexpected opportunities arise. I also would like to be able to purchase zwift devices like Zwift Play.

Nice video. I would very much like to have 1) a complete route profile shown in game (maybe turn it on and off like with the watt output). Just a bigger one than the tiny one in the corner. 2) Distance to segment finish line.

More game aspects… think Mario cart meets bike race. I saw that they had events like this (but I couldn’t purchase the Zwift play as I’m living in Thailand) which looked fun. Would love to see extra fun bits added, weight misses, adding to another zwifters weight for a short period of time, rubber bands you can shoot at riders to get dragged along, rocket boosters to shoot you forward - maybe linked to your power, other things that create a ‘fun’ aspect to riding beyond trying to recreate reality, which if I want I can go outside. Zwift is a game, explore the things that we can’t do in reality. Riding on the moon with weird gravity, flying bikes with wings that flap, try and make it through floating rings in the sky by matching power output, link to workouts… “stay in the floating tunnel” etc… get creative. Love the platform, been a zwifter for years, just think that they are missing some fun options that would appeal to more people.

The workout overhaul is number one on my list. The lap button used to be my top request until I made a work around: I have a 5 second custom Z2 "workout". Anytime I want to hit lap I use that. Not ideal, but works pretty well!

An ability to ride between worlds - link New York and Richmond by a route across the Appalachian mountains. Scotland, Yorkshire, and London could be connected - then ride the Chunnel to Paris and a road down to Provence for France (you could link Bologna too...)

XP for beating previous PR, both full route and in game segments. Being a Bikepacker that uses Zwift to help train during the winter months, I would like to have gravel climbs of the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route or any well known Bikepacking route.

Forgot about mountain biking routes and a velodrome would be great. The racing on a velodrome could be very exciting and brutally hard.

I would love to see full routes from the TdF during the event. Sort of like a virtual Etape. I know it would be too much to have all stages, but 1-2 stages every year where you can try your luck virtually on the same stage as the pros would make it an annual highlight

I would like more in the drop shop. With the changes in level up rewards, there are more drops available than ever. But with an already overflowing garage, there's not really anything I want. Also the ability to resize and move hud elements. Particularly on a large screen, there is a lot of space that I could reclaim for watching the road.

Custom workouts for club rides, so one can share his or select it - so a trainer or a friend can plan the next workout shared with everyone riding.

I would like to see support for displaying the current gear on the screen for Kickr Bike. Only a few platforms do this today.

I would like ZWIFT add an icon showing the numbers of RIDE ON we recieve during the ride

Absolutely agree with your no 3 and 7. A nice workaround is to do hill repeats where there is a suitable segment for your intervals. I use the Hilly KOM forward segment I Hilly Route for interlvals. 8 repeats up and down is a nice and short HIIT session. And with regards to availability to the hardware we are in the same boat as you here in Norway. I would love to try the game controllers🤩

#3 - Lap button with avg power. Yes Yes yes! Now I add manually show_avg="1" in my zwo.files (as seen in one of your video's).

I always appreciate your updates, thank you! For me, a good, functional personal calendar system is a must! Being able to easily schedule and view workouts, events, etc. on a calendar and drag them around to reschedule seems like something that should have been there day 1. Additionally, as you mentioned, the ability to integrate with and sync to other popular training management platforms (Training Peaks, etc.) really should be a 'basic component' in this day. My second wish is some type of an organizational system for your personal workout library, the fact that nothing exists here is a big miss. I find the Workout Builder to be OK and while I am sure there are some tweaks that could make it better, the fact that Zwift has this easy option where other major platforms have either nothing or something terrible (SYSTM or Training Peaks) if one of the reasons why I have moved to Zwift after having previously used both of those platforms. 99.9% of the time I am using Zwift only for structured workouts so for me, none of the race or social aspects have any meaning at all.

Yes for the garage cleanup and preferred bikes. Battery notification on HRM and steering devices would be awesome. The other thing I would LOVE to see is badges for different riding skills over time: like “mountain goat” for someone who has taken 100 KOM jerseys in game over her/his time on Zwift or something similar for taking a number of sprint jerseys or course jerseys.

I've asked the same thing for the last five years, and you said it here. A lap button, or a way to setup a "lap" in a workout.

Average speed and average power display while riding please..

Garage management within companion app. I would prefer to configure my avatar within companion instead of loading up the main Zwift app.

Customizable HUD. Although Sauce is now an option to achieve this.

Virtual shifting would be brilliant! You find that cog that the chain runs just perfectly quiet on - it would be great to use virtual gearing to stay on that one!

Agree on every single one of your wishes for 2024!! Especially 4. that I can get rid of some of those bikes I have, its a PITA to find the right bike when you have so many.

Oh, no I can't unsee this! Pedals is now at the top of my wish list 😂

Wow, how have I never noticed the lack of pedals in Zwift?!!! Happy Holidays and best wishes for 2024, keep up the great content!

In the combined vane of your 1 and 2, I'd love to see automatic laps come through in the FIT file for workout segments. If I did an interval session in workout mode, I should be able to review those intervals after the fact on strava/garmin/trainpeaks/etc in the FIT file

Shane - in addition to your wish list, I would like to be able to customize the watts, HR, cadence panel the same way I can customize my head unit on the road. I like to see percentage of max HR and other information, especially now that Zone2 training has become more important. I can’t imagine that would be a heavy lift for Zwift and would give the user a lot more customization. Merry Christmas.

Would love to see a better integration of Zwift power with Zwift, after each event you have two different sets of results meaning zwift power results are watered down because not everyone is signed up for zwift power.

Differently, virtually shifting for more trainers! Awesome vid as always!

Obviously, some of these covered by GPLama...1) I'd like personalized default view selection. I prefer 'first person' versus anything else. 2) Ability to hide Zwift bikes. I've a better and preferred bike for each type I ride. 3) And quick selection of frame/wheel pairings. Switch from road to TT should be a quick action. 4) Zwift Controller adaptable to TT bikes. Looks like it would be fun.

Di2 integration, especially if you have the zwift wheel, so you change gears exactly as you do in the road

God damned ! Now you did it ! I hadn’t noticed the missing pedals, but now I can not ‘unsee’ it ! Thanks mate ! 😄

Definitely agree with the garage and favourite setups comments. I’d love to be able to customise the left and right side play buttons as I don’t have virtual gears so using them to change camera view and take screen shots would be handy. Also I’d like a choice for late join to be able to pick joining the pack or the pens. If I’m doing a group ride with a leader I’d join the pack otherwise for fondos etc. I’d rather late start from the pens

It seems to me that "better workout section" is on your every new year's "I'd like to see on zwift" list since the beginning of zwift 😁

Thanks for your videos.. I would like to see going average power and average speed and average w/kg as well..

All I really want are mountains on Makuri. Virtual Gears on all smart trainers would be cool too (definitely possible).

The in-game lap widget with average watts is possible now using Sauce for Zwift. Obviously not ideal and you have to pay a small amount for it, but it also unlocks a ton of other data and customization for the HUD that makes Zwift a much better experience in my opinion.

- no rotation between climbs / worlds - customisable HUD or at least make them more contextual / aware of the situation - quick reactions / rider signals on the bike (tucked elbow movement for taking over for a pull, etc). Text is very high effort atm - bike garage, make the feeling of owning the bikes more an experience. I’m sure the brands will also love this - custom routes on existing worlds

Custom workouts for Clubs!

Great suggestions for 2024. I hope that Zwift is listening!

Thanks for showing the latest zwift update. I'd like to see zwift add a feature in the companion app that enables you to scroll through and view all the available workouts. Then to be able select a workout in the companion app and it appears on your home screen ready to use in game. Also I'd like to be able to create a custom workout in the companion app as well.

Being able to manually adjust training zone limits to match those set, in say, Training Peaks.

Would definitely agree, a Lap Button so I could see my average watts during a series of intervals in a workout, a section of a climb etc.

Family Plan subscription!

Virtual Gear shifting is a big one and top of my list as then the chain on your bike can run on middle cogs of rear cassette which is better for wear etc

I would like to be able to nickname my bikes in my garage I wish they would have a Devil Take the Hindmost racing format. I'm a D rider and think that would be great fun, I'd even try to go up to C just to see if I could not be eliminated on the first lap, lol. More Climb Portal options! I love the portal. Maybe do races in the portal too. More goals. The 50,000 meter goal and California one are okay, but more of them (more options). The NY to LA, or the Siberian Railroad, or K2 in 2 months, or a group goal of "around the world" where 2-5 of you work on a collective goal. I loved the Hare and the Hounds races! Let the D (me) go and then at intervals let the C,B,A go. But, have a screen box dedicated to the pertinent info. How far behind are the leaders of a group, how fast are are the leaders moving, ect. There should be a "W" category. If you are going to have "women only" events (which I am all for, since I have two sisters, and three female friends on zwift) they should just have a dedicated category instead of using E or sometimes D. Love your channel Shane. Thanks for the info all the time. I watch every one.

garage management and some new bikes for me!

Preferred bike set-up quick button would be good. What I would really like to see is adding climb gradient to the Zwift Companion dashboard. I like to clear the main viewing screen of data and use the app dashboard as a head unit and gradient is needed for efforts.

Merry Chrstmas to you and the family @Shane. Great list which I would like to see all of, plus I would also replace the current racing groups A, B, C, D (which are too broad) with groups more like those used on the Zwift racing app. Progression through the groups should be based on race results and not on watts.

The Virtual gearing for my Wahoo Kickr Core is certainly my main want for Zwift.

Not really Zwift strictly speaking, but something we chatted about on the Twitters.... a gadget that would let me go to virtual gearing on Zwift, but still use the Di2 shifters? I imagine it would be a transmitter somewhere that you disconnect the Di2 plug from the derailer and plug into this gadget. Then just leave the chain mid cassette

I´d love to see HighRes graphics on Apple TV hardware

a big yes to No 8 ! been caught out a couple of times of late.

Text to speech (audio output), so blind riders can also enjoy the fun!

I never thought I’d enjoy indoor cycling as much as I have with Zwift!

Thanks, Shane, for your continued contributions to the Zwift community. Best wishes to you and yours for the new year. 2024. 1) More routes 2) New bike models / wheelsets. 3) Garage / Bike Organizer 4) Ability to flip to showing W/Kg in app like you can on the CA. 5) Would love to have world portals so you jump from one world to another mid free riding and change your scenery. something like have a portal between scotland / yorkshire , yorkshire / london or richmond.. london / france, france /paris, paris / Innsbruck, innsbruk / bologna, bologna/ makuria, markuri / waptopia (just imagine the rebel route posibilites!). 6) Fences on club rides for clubs not on zwift calendar events 7) clib kit creator. 8) Open up that road to Mount Fuji darn it and stop teasing us. 9) open up that road just past the garage on Fuego flats that goes behind the hill. Let us go see what that flashy thing on the cliff top actually is. 10) Bike class restrictions on club rides / assigned bike. Just like some calender group rides. Not much then :)

7:57 I would like to see a fan and external LED lights both connected instantly with training intensity

ETA on all routes and efforts (some have them, some don't) similar to what we get in the climb portal. Thank you!

Thank you very much for a year of excellent content, Merry Christmas to you Sir Lama Sir! Custom HUD would be great also on the Companion App. And I never understood why that small graphic "001" above the KM doesn't work. Should work or be removed.

I would like to have the extended performance statistics from my NEO BIKE SMART (L/R distribution ...) in the ZWIFT activity in Garmin Connect.
