Ride Like King is back, and we’ve got plenty to celebrate! This year marks not only the eighth year of the series on Zwift, but also the seventeenth year that Giant Group - parent company of Giant, Liv, Momentum, and CADEX - has run this celebration of cycling!
Ride Like King is a chance to ride for a better world. The campaign seeks to celebrate Giant Group founder King Liu who, in 2007, at the age of 73, completed a 15 day / 927km ride around Taiwan to demonstrate his passion for cycling. Following this feat, Liu set out to share his experience-and the positive impact that cycling can have on the individual, the community, and the economy-to governments in an effort to propagate the sport.
In true Zwift style, we’ve got a whole host of activities planned to help you rack up the km’s all for a good cause. This year also marks the 20th anniversary of World Bicycle Relief and for every 500km ridden, Giant Group will donate 1 Buffalo Bike to the charity, up to 700 bikes!
What's on?
The Ride-to-Raise warm up rides will take place 12-15 May where you will ride in the brand new Ride Like King 17 kit. The Celebration Rides run from 16-19 May and we've marked the occasion with the release of two new bikes - TCR Advanced SL - 2025, Langma Advanced SL – 2025.
Expect to hold the wheel of Giant and Liv’s most notable teams and riders, including Team Jayco AlUla , Liv AlUla Jayco, Giant and Liv triathlon, mountain bike and gravel pros as well as ambassadors including Ayesha McGowan, Louis Hatchwell, Zwift community ride leaders and more.
Participate in the Celebration Rides and you’ll have a chance to win Giant and Liv’s main giveaway - limited edition RLK17 jerseys along with a card signed by King Liu. Three jerseys and cards will be given away via random drawings for each of the main event rides. Check out the official rules at the link below.
The more you ride, the more you raise!
Both the Ride-to-Raise and Celebration Rides count towards your collective km's, as well as tracked outdoor miles.
