How can we improve TrainingPeaks Virtual?

(thinking…)

WORLD: Equipment - Weight, aerodynamics etc

I think it would be in keeping with the goals of TPVirtual to have equipment choices. In real life, equipment choice is very important and impacts my race results. The bike i would choose in order to be competitive in flat TT race would be very different from what I would choose for a climbing race. Equipment must be bought IRL so perhaps a way to 'earn' it within the game would make sense? Regardless of whether it's considered a 'gamification' I think we should be able to have a 'garage' and some way to accumulate various equipment that we can choose for our rides.

Many thanks for your suggestion and support for TrainingPeaks Virtual.

I'm delighted to say that the latest release (v0.4.23) out today includes the addition of 2 new Time Trial bikes, and no less than 5 new wheelsets, including deep-section rims, 4-spokes and disc wheels.

Whilst the task of "adding more" will never be "complete" (and we have plans to continue working with manufacturers, so stay tuned for more updates), we'll now close this request as complete.

    Yep, personally I swap between a TT bike or road bike and like to have the avatar match what I'm riding on.
    I'm less bothered about whether it has a performance difference.

    It would be great if you could provide a triathlon bike.

    I would love TT/tri options, especially with the wonderful time trial functionality already built in.

  • Jason Pretty commented  ·   ·  Report

    We are a triathlon club using the software and the option of having an actual tri bike would be great.

    TT bikes for people like us who practice Triathlon, I saw renders of Road bikes even Handbikes but I am sure many people expect for triathlon bikes

    As my suggestion has been merged with this one. I would like to make it clear that I only want a couple of other bikes for visual purposes. I don't want to have to earn them or gamify the app or make it pay to play.

    Just effectively some skins with no performance advantages but more personality to the avatars. I see someone else has ask for an MTB which seems valid too.

    Leave pay to win to zwift.

    as the tiles says. Update or add an up-to-date looking bike with disc brakes and aero frame. The rim brake can stay as a climbing looking bike and also maybe add a TT bike that isn't able to draft.

    Would help with the overall look of the game without wholesale new graphics

    Could you please add a mountain bike as a frame option. Millions of us do not have virtual mtb options available. Thanks

  • Priita commented  ·   ·  Report

    Feel free to check out Zwift. TPV is serious application.

    For free riding and aesthetics I love this. For races, dislike, as they should rest on your legs and tactics, not what equipment you can "afford".
