## What is MTB Viz?

MTB Viz turns your mountain bike rides into clear, trail-ready insight — record right from your iPhone or the standalone Apple Watch app, or import automatically from Apple Health. No extra tracker, no subscription, no account.

Start a ride from your phone or your wrist and MTB Viz tracks route, elevation, heart rate, and speed as you go — or pick up rides you've already recorded through Apple Health. Every ride breaks down the way a rider actually thinks about it: where you climbed, where you descended, how hard you worked, and how you rode the terrain in between.

RIDE RECORDING
• Record rides directly on iPhone or from a standalone Apple Watch app — no phone required
• Connect Bluetooth heart rate, power, and speed/cadence sensors, with wheel size and tire width for accurate speed
• Auto-pause when you stop, and a Live Activity on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island
• Build your own live-metrics screen on the watch — pages of up to 4 metrics, your choice
• Rides save straight to Apple Health and are ready in MTB Viz the moment you finish
• Browse recent recordings right from your watch
• Calorie estimates from your power meter, heart rate, or speed
• Export any ride as a GPX file to share or open elsewhere

TERRAIN BREAKDOWN
• Automatic segmentation of every ride into climbs, descents, and traverses
• Grade, distance, and elevation for each segment
• A combined elevation, grade, speed, and heart-rate profile — drag or hover to scrub through any moment
• Tap any segment to see it highlighted on the map

ANALYZE & COMPARE
• A dedicated Analyze tab — chart any metric (distance, speed, heart rate, effort, and more) across all your rides
• Group by week, month, day of week, tag, discipline, or bike to spot trends over time
• Filter by date range, tags, bike, or ride length to zero in on the rides that matter
• Compare two to four rides side by side — stat deltas, an overlaid elevation/speed/heart-rate chart, time in zones, and terrain mix

RIDE DYNAMICS
• Airtime for every jump — hang time, landing impact, and distance — plus a trail-chatter score for how rough the descents were
• A braking heatmap that shows exactly where you're scrubbing speed
• Your "free speed" — how much momentum you carry through pumps and rollers without pedaling
• Cadence broken down by trail pitch
• Estimated climbing power in watts, no power meter required, with peak-power and surge tracking
• How fast your heart rate recovers on technical descents
• Aerobic decoupling — speed per heartbeat, first half vs. second, on long rides

EFFORT & ZONES
• Time-in-zone heart-rate breakdown for every ride
• Rate your effort and tag rides by session type and conditions — feeding Apple's Training Load
• Max-HR estimates from your age or a formula you choose

BIKE MAINTENANCE
• Track component wear per bike — chain, brake pads, fork, shock, and your own custom items
• Assign each ride to the bike you rode so wear adds up automatically
• Set a part's current condition without logging past rides
• "Mud factor" bumps drivetrain wear for sloppy days

MADE FOR THE WAY YOU RIDE
• A fast, focused summary of your week
• Beautiful ride detail charts built for the trail, not the road
• Share cards to post your best days
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets for your week's totals, latest ride, and component health
• Works on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch

Your health data stays on your device and in your private iCloud unless you choose to export or share a ride. MTB Viz has no ads and no tracking.

Ride. Record. Understand.

Information for users of other apps: Want to sync your rides to both this app and others? For the best experience, we recommend recording your rides using the Apple Watch Workout app. Alternatively, you can record using this app, export your workout file, and upload it to any app or service that accepts GPX or FIT formats. Other third-party apps may not save all the required data fields to Apple Health.

## Key features

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0.0 — 2026-08-31

2.0.0: ride comparison, an Analyze tab, custom tags, and bulk export.

• Added: a new Analyze tab — chart a metric (distance, speed, heart rate, effort, and more) across all your rides, grouped by week, month, day of week, tag, discipline, or bike, and filtered by date range, tags, bike, or ride length
• Added: compare two to four rides side by side from the Rides tab — head-to-head stats with deltas, an overlaid elevation/speed/heart-rate chart, time in zones, and terrain mix
• Added: create your own custom ride tags (with a category and emoji), right alongside the built-in ones — and see every tag and note on the ride detail screen, not just in the tagging sheet
• Added: export all your rides at once from the Rides tab — pick GPX or FIT and an optional date range, and get a single zip file to share or save to Files
• Added: on newer iPhones, the tab bar shrinks as you scroll down a list and expands again as you scroll back up
• Simplified the ride detail screen's toolbar — re-estimating a ride's calories, or reviewing every ride at once, now lives in Settings → Advanced → Calorie Estimates, and tagging now lives only in the ride's own Tags section
