·
Always spotted at the forefront of trends, Betty Designs excitedly announces its partnership with Zwift—the leading indoor training tool that brings athletes from around the world together in a rich online environment. Kicking off the party on March 8, 2018—International Women’s Day—the collaboration marks the addition of two Betty custom kits and two group rides to the largest training game connecting athletes from around the world.
“Zwift is a great way to get to ride with our ambassadors, customers + friends from all over the globe. It makes indoor training more fun!,” says Kristin Mayer, founder of Betty Designs. “After falling in love with the program and using it often, I wondered what it would take to get one of my kits in the game, and couldn’t believe when the Zwift crew entertained my wild ideas. Designing two exclusive looks just for them, I can’t wait to see Betty’s all over the roads and disrupting the races in Watopia, London, and Richmond!”
Hitting the Zwift community in true BettyStyle™, riders can rock the pack in two different kit options—The Betty, head-to-toe pink with the iconic butterfly skull and a more subdued but equally stylish ensemble, the Signature replica kit. Aside from flying Betty’s colors, riders can also jump into two Betty rides—a 90 minute high intensity training ride and a 50 minute social ride—to share screen time with other women looking to up their workouts and build camaraderie within the group.
