The complete list of Zwift badges and how to get them

If you are new to Zwift, you might have heard about Zwift badges. But where to find them, how to get them, how many are they? … Let’s see all of this in this guide about Zwift badges and achievements.

What are Zwift badges?

Zwift badges are achievements inside the game for completing specific routes or achieving a specific goal like reaching 100kph. Badges exist for both cycling and running. Each time you earn a badge you will get bonus points (XP) associated with it. This will help you level up in the game.

Zwift badges are a good incentive to keep riding and exceed ourselves. In my case, it has motivated me to ride difficult routes just in order to get the badge and associated bonus points.

How many Zwift badges are there?

In total, there are 197 badges on Zwift to obtain: 168 related to cycling, and 29 for running. They are divided into different categories: badges about route achievements and badges about meeting specific conditions in the game to get it. I will detail them all below.

Missions & Training plans

Zwift also gives you badges when you enroll and complete a mission, or when you complete a training plan. I didn’t count them as it’s difficult to know how many you can get. Let me show you what I completed on my profile (so far):

Zwift missions appear at the top of the start screen of the game. Each mission lasts for a couple of days or weeks and will ask you to achieve something during that period of time. For instance, at the time of writing this article, the current mission consists in climbing 3000 meters over the course of one month to get the badge.

As for the training plans, if you want all the badges, just do them all :p good luck 🙂

Where can you see your Zwift badges?

To see your Zwift badges, you simply need to go to the related menu. Below are the steps to find your Zwift badges:

• Launch Zwift app
• Click Let’s go
• Skip the pairing screen
• Select the badge icon on the top right of the screen
• Scroll to view the list of badges

The badges you own are the ones with a picture. If you see only the title, it means you don’t have it yet.

For the route achievements, you can easily check which routes you have completed before riding it.

Indeed, Zwift added in 2021 a feature that allows seeing if you own a route badge. Note: currently it is only possible to view the route achievements from today’s active worlds. As you can see in the picture below, there is a green icon next to the route I have completed and for which I own the badge like “Classique” for instance. You can even sort the list of routes by ‘route completion’.

Note: Zwift released end of February 2023 a new update of Zwift Companion app which includes a new menu called “Leaderboards“. In this menu you can see all the routes and badges available in Zwift, and if you have completed them or not.

To understand how to use it, you can see in the picture above that in New York there are 21 routes and only 12 badges to obtain. I have obtained so far 11 of these 12 badges. Once you select New York, you can view the list of routes. There is a tick icon next to the route that gives a badge. It is green if you have completed it, and grey if you haven’t.

So, I have completed “Everything Bagel” for instance, but not “Gotham Grind”. And “Gotham Grind Reverse” is a route you can ride but you won’t get a badge for it.

How to prepare for a Zwift badge hunt?

It can be a bit annoying to launch Zwift each time you want to prepare your next ride or check the badges you own. One solution for this is to go to zwifthub.com. On this website, you can create an account and save all the achievements you have made in-game and prepare your next rides. You can view the routes, profiles, distance, elevation and estimate how long it will take you to complete it. Perfect to plan your Zwift badges hunt!

This website is not connected to Zwift so you will have to select manually the badge you have and save it to your profile. Then it’s just a matter of selecting your new badges after completing a new route! It’s actually very rewarding to click on the badge on the website to memorize it.

How do you get the 100kph badge on Zwift?

Method 1: with a Power-up

• Go to the Reverse Watopia Sprint
• Get the Aero Boost Power-up
• Then climb Epic KOM reverse up to the Radio Tower
• Ramp up the speed from the monument
• Release the Power-up at the corner at the start of the descent
• Pedal as hard as you can (biggest gear!) until you reach 100kph

Method 2: without a Power-up

In this case, you can either climb up to the Radio Tower or join a group ride on the Bologna TT circuit.

You will have to draft behind a group of cyclists from the top of the descent to reach the 100kph in the super tuck position. You need to be drafting correctly from the group of cyclists and not pedaling at all. You will reach 100kph near the end of the descent. Don’t be impatient.
