What bike should I ride for ZRacing 2026 - September: Zwift Racing Powered by DURA-ACE Stage 3?
TT bikes are disabled for this scratch race. Over 1 lap of Electric Break (19.6 km), our physics model makes the Specialized Tarmac SL9 with DTSwiss ARC 1100 DICUT 85/Disc the fastest legal combo, finishing in 36:28 (~32.2 km/h).
How this race tends to play out
Back to Makuri for Electric Break, a point-to-point that packs 204 m into 19.6 km - the sharpest climbing of the month so far. Only a third of it is tarmac, but that reads worse than it rides: the 36% beach sand rolls at tarmac rolling resistance in Zwift and costs road wheels nothing, the 29% brick is barely slower, and only 3% is dirt, the one surface here that actually bites. So it stays an aero race with a climb in it. Feather and Aero powerups.
