Yet Another Indoor Cycling Game

Register interest What is it?
One more lap.
The circuit from the air: a figure of eight through pine woods, beside a lake, under red mountains
Somewhere down there, someone’s about to attack.
The idea

Log in, and there’s already someone to beat.

Chase the fastest laps any time. Race when the field fills up. Train when you want a plan.

Riders rolling off the start grid under the gantry
01Any time

Their best lap is right up the road.

Log in at any hour and the fastest laps of every rider are out there with you, see-through and flying. Pick one and hunt it down, this lap or the next. Or tuck in right behind it: they give you a draft, so use it.

Dropped isn’t done.

Party races give everyone a shot: get dropped and you can fight your way back in. But the front can still get away for good, so sitting in the bunch waiting to be dragged home won’t win it. Lead, and you’ll work harder than you’d like to stay clear. It’s a race you have to think about. Pick your moment.

Want it straight? Raw-power races are your watts and nothing else.

Riders side by side, wheel to wheel along the barrier
03Racing

Settle it shoulder to shoulder.

Want that place? Fight for it. Ride up alongside, lean in, and battle wheel to wheel for position. The stronger legs win, not the faster thumbs. Take it and the line is yours.

04Training · coming

Every interval has someone to chase.

Training that doesn’t feel like training. Your workout plays out as a race, against riders who know the plan: a group to hang on to, a breakaway to catch, a rival to beat to the line. Don’t deliver and they’ll beat you. And you don’t have to ride like a machine: nobody’s holding you to a number to the watt. Keep up and it counts.

A game that happens to be exercise.

Indoor cycling has a reputation: an hour of staring at numbers, waiting for it to end. This isn’t that. It’s a game first, with rivals beside you, races that go down to the line, and a reason to sprint. The workout sneaks in while you’re busy having fun.

Still in the workshop: karts, and a few other things we’ll show when they’re ready.

What you need

A bike that measures watts, and a PC.

  • A smart trainer or a power meter Over Bluetooth, or ANT+ with a USB stick.
  • A Windows PC Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit.
  • Something to steer with A gamepad or a keyboard.
