It happened this morning while I was doing the Herd ride, the Monday Morning Coffee Crew. I leveled up to 50!
Level 50 is halfway there. There are 100 cycling levels in Zwift. At 50 you unlock the Level 50 kit + Fire Socks.
Level 50 kit
The fire socks are more exciting than the level 50 kit.
What do they do? What’s the big deal with the socks?
“If you’re wearing the fire socks, your rider will lay down a flame trail for up to 12 seconds, as long as you are putting out at least 150% of your FTP watts.
After 12 seconds the flames will stop, but you can drop your power for a few seconds then power up again to lay another flame trail.”

One thought on “Sam levels up in Zwift: 50 with flame socks!”
This is so funny — I hit 50 last spring and have been poking toward 60 since — but I never put on the flame socks. Now I know where those paths come from — I’d better get on my bike lol.
