How to Unlock the Zwift TRON Bike – Week 12

Welcome to my week 12 Zwift Tron Bike Update

About This Series

Dads Riding Bikes had our second daughter the last week of August 2023. In order to manage riding with a newborn, I am going to be doing a lot more Zwift riding, as I do not have a lot of availability for long outdoor rides. To have a goal to keep me motivated, I decided to try to unlock the Zwift Tron Bike.  My current FTP is 224 watts (Last Tested in July 2023 using the Zwift Ramp Test) and a weight of 175 pounds (79.4 kg), which comes out to 2.8 w/kg

Past Weeks: Start | Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 4 | Week 6 | Week 8


It has been a month since my last update. I have been riding outside as much as possible with the weather here in Denver staying mild for most of November. Additionally, our two-month-old daughter, who now just turned three months old had been struggling to sleep at night, which was a setback from earlier in the month. Therefore, energy levels have been low.

I only increased my progress towards the Tron bike by 4,006 ft (1,221 m) during this time. With the Thanksgiving holiday and the lack of energy, I just have not ridden as much as I would have liked.

December will also be a slow month. I just got a vasectomy, which will keep me off of the bike for at least the next two weeks and then we have the Christmas holiday coming up.

Our daughter has been showing great progress the last few nights. Last night, she went from 7 pm to 6:30 am without waking (dream feed at 10 pm). Which was great from Mom and Dad. Hopefully, after the new year, I will be back on a consistent schedule.

Current Progress on Tron Challenge

As of the time I am writing this post, December 01, 2023, I am 21,673 ft (6,385 m) into the “Mt. Everest Challenge”, and 13% on my way to unlocking the Tron Bike 164,042 ft (50,000m).  

Note: You must keep the “Mt. Everest Challenge” selected at all times, even after completing it, to unlock the Tron Bike.
