Zwift has launched the Tour of Makuri Islands. The new tour is held in Zwift’s newest virtual world, Makuri Islands, which was originally unveiled in 2021.
The tour offers Zwifters the… ‘opportunity to explore these roads while making it easier than ever to complete stages.’
Taking place between November 4-30, 2022, Zwift adds that… ‘the Tour of Makuri Islands lets you complete the series how you want, when you want.
‘Every type of Zwifter can find the best way to tick off these stages. For the traditionalist, take part in the organised Tour of Makuri Islands group events on the event calendar. For the socialite, check off a stage with your friends in a club event or meet-up.
‘For the most competitive, complete a race on the scheduled course; and for those training, complete a stage while doing a workout. It really is the most convenient way to progress through a tour while staying on track for your fitness goals.’
Tour of Makuri Islands is a six-stage tour, covering all corners of Makuri Islands – from Yumezi, a virtual countryside destination, to Neokyo, filled with virtual buildings, neon billboards and fast roads.
The first four stages will be on Neokyo and Yumezi. Stages five and six will be held on the, as yet, unreleased Urukazi map.
Riders can choose between long or short rides on each stage, to fit into their schedule. In the flexible tour, riders can schedule rides on their own time or sign up for a group event at a designated time.
There will be a week to catch up on any stages missed for group rides starting on November 25. Upon completing all six stages, Zwifters will unlock the event kit.
