More cattle than cars and open roads as far as you can see…there’s a lot to love about gravel riding outside. Unless you’re this guy. 

And there’s just as much to 🧡 about racing on Zwift. So fun and exciting, you barely realize that competing against fellow Zwifters is one of the best workouts you can get. 

Giant Gravel Crushers is ideal for new racers, thanks to its duration: short! It’s great for experienced competitors as well. Each race is between 10 and 15 minutes. 

And to double the fun, this series includes two races each week. Do both! They include a short break between the two. You’ll ride a lot of the dirt and gravel courses on Zwift. 

One of the quickest ways to progress are these short, intense races. So get ready to go hard, charging into 2022 with all you have!

YOUR OFFICIAL RIDE

Need a new set of wheels for your avatar? Women will test ride the latest gravel speed machine from Liv: the Devote. Riders will pilot Giant’s newest gravel missile: the Revolt. If you want to ride these bikes, this is the only way to do it. They won’t be in the Drop Shop until June 8th. 

ABOUT GIANT GRAVEL CRUSHERS

Back for its third year, Giant is helping out with this series of back-to-back competitions. Perfect for riders of all levels, this race series is as simple as it is satisfying. 

Four weeks long. 

Eight races total.

And the finish line is fun.

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR GROUP

All races are grouped by how many watts/kilogram (w/kg) Zwifters can average for the duration. These events will auto-categorize riders into their correct categories. For more information about racing, there’s more info here. 

One caveat: you need to be on ZwiftPower to earn points. Sign up well in advance. It’s free but can take some time, so give yourself a few minutes.

ZwiftPower will level the playing field. If someone competes in the wrong category, they will not earn points. So choose your category wisely.
 It’s all in the name of fairness, fitness, and fun. Get out there and crush your friends and your previous personal best. 

I’M NEW, TELL ME MORE

Most races will last for 13 minutes, give or take. If you haven’t raced before, be ready to go hard from the start. The fastest part of most races are the start and the finish. Get dropped early on and it’s all but impossible to catch up. Even if you're dropped, hang on. Due to the short duration, the end is in sight!

IS THIS A RACE?

You bet. This series is serving up four weeks of high-speed races across every ability level.

UNLOCKS

Riders in the Giant open events will score the backward Giant cap and women will snag the backward Liv cap.
