MyWhoosh 5.3: when e-cycling meets gaming

The free virtual cycling platform MyWhoosh unveils its 5.3 update, a version packed with new features to make your indoor sessions more immersive and exciting. Arcade mode, junior accounts, new UCI world, aero tuck functionality, and special “Chasing Rainbows” missions: discover what awaits you!

Arcade Mode: Zombie Escape, a thrilling race

MyWhoosh ventures into gamification with arcade mode. The first challenge, Zombie Escape, plunges you into a breathless race against virtual zombies. Maintain a minimum speed to avoid being caught, with three attempts before elimination. Accumulate points based on the distance covered to unlock tougher levels. A fun experience that gives a boost to your training!

MyWhoosh Juniors: virtual cycling for young people

The platform opens up to cyclists aged 6 to 18 with secure junior accounts. Equipped with parental controls, these accounts limit access to chat, in-app purchases, VoD, live coaching, and certain app integrations. MyWhoosh thus encourages the new generation to cycle in a safe and adapted environment.

New UCI World: an African immersion

Inspired by African landscapes, the new UCI world offers fictional courses for a breathtaking visual experience. Available during special events, it will be the setting for the 2025 UCI Cycling Esports World Championships. Get ready to ride in a unique setting!

Aero Tuck button and optimized connection

The aero tuck feature adds realism: on descents, activate it to adopt an aerodynamic position, reduce drag, and recover while gaining speed. Another improvement: direct connection with compatible indoor trainers for a fluid experience, and selective world downloads to save space and speed up loading times.

Chasing Rainbows Missions: heading for the 2025 UCI World Championships

As an official partner of the 2025 UCI Road World Championships in Kigali (Rwanda), MyWhoosh is launching the Chasing Rainbows missions. These three stages simulate the official courses and introduce the dynamic course creation feature. Here’s the program:
