## What is Specialized Ride?

Specialized Ride is your go-to app for recording bike rides, analyzing your cycling metrics, planning rides with friends, and cycling safely when riding by yourself. 

BE SAFE ON YOUR RIDE
Have peace of mind on all your bike rides when you connect your Specialized ANGi sensor with the Ride app and enable Live Tracking.

If your ANGi detects a crash event where you’ve likely been knocked unconscious, your emergency contacts will be sent an email or text alert from your phone and notified of your location. 

Live Tracking allows your emergency contacts to follow you along during your ride. Simply turn on ride alerts for an emergency contact and the app will automatically notify them when you’ve started a ride.

RIDE RECORDING & POST-RIDE ANALYTICS
Whether you’re training for a race or event, using your bike for commuting or getting around town, or to explore the trails with your friends, you can use the free ride recorder to track all of your bike rides. 

The Ride app automatically tracks stats like speed, distance, time riding, and elevation. When you’re done riding, you can view the ride history and analytics tabs to see how your activity is trending. 

We offer full integration with Garmin, Wahoo*, and Strava, so it’s extra easy to record rides and share them with your friends. 
If you have a heart rate monitor, cadence sensor, or power meter connected to your Garmin or Wahoo device, you can see that data as well. 

SPECIALIZED BIKE REGISTRATION AND WARRANTY ACTIVATION
Although you can record a cycling activity on any bike using the Ride app, riders with Specialized bikes can use the app to register their bike and activate its warranty.
 
COMMUNITY EVENTS & GROUP RIDES
Be on the lookout for community events, bike demos, and more on the community tab in the Ride app’s feed.
 
If you enjoy riding with others, you can join and create group rides in the Ride app. The group message board lets you communicate with riders who’ve joined the ride and keeps everyone informed. 

When you’re looking for a ride to join, you can search for rides based on day, time, type, and distance. 
If you want to create a group ride, you can import a route, choose an existing route, or create a route using the route planner.
 
ROUTE LIBRARY & ROUTE BUILDER
If you need inspiration for your next ride, the Ride app hosts an ever-growing global library of bike routes.

Additionally, we have an easy-to-use route builder tool that is housed on ride.specialized.com. 

Once you’re done creating a route, you’ll be able to add it to any group ride that you plan. Riders interested in joining will be able to see a map view of the route, as well as distance, elevation, and whether the route is on road, gravel, or the trails.




NOTE: Continued use of GPS running in the background may decrease phone battery life
*Incoming Wahoo connections will need to be established on ride.specialized.com

### 3/5 — PLEASE Transfer Angi Functionality to Main App! 🙏

*2026-06-02, version 3.6.22*

Invested heavily in Angi helmets and sensors for safety/tracking. PLEASE don’t yank that away from us. Thank you

### 1/5 — Disconnect

*2025-09-12, version 3.6.22*

It keeps disconnecting from the account and won't reconnect.

### 2/5 — Please update

*2025-08-31, version 3.6.22*

At one point this app worked fine but it is clear that they are no longer supporting it. 

I am not able to update emergency contact information. 

Come on Specialized you have the money to make this product work.

### 2/5 — No longer synchs with Strava

*2025-08-16, version 3.6.22*

Strava rides don’t show up anymore - Strava is linked but they just don’t synchronize to Ride. I used it to track the mileage on my Roubaix but now it’s kind of worthless

### 2/5 — Falla

*2025-06-14, version 3.6.22*

Tengo conectado mi Ciclocomputador garmin a la App de ride pero no me volvió a acumular ni el kilometraje ni el tiempo recorrido ni ningún dato de cada rodada.

### 1/5 — Ident Code eingeben????

*2025-05-02, version 3.6.22*

Ich soll beim verbinden mit dem Bike einen Code eingeben der im Display angezeigt wird !!!?? Wie bitte soll das gehen? Mein Bike hat kein Display !!!! Geht wohl kaum schlechter

### 3/5 — Integrazione

*2025-04-26, version 3.6.22*

Angi funziona su questa applicazione abbastanza bene, come mai non é anche integrata direttamente con la app di specialized della turbo levo   ???

### 2/5 — No sirve el registrar bicicletas

*2025-03-11, version 3.6.22*

Apenas al entrar a la app, me quiero meter a registrar bicicletas y le pongo a registrar una que no es eléctrica o de otra marca y apenas le pico y ya no sirve, se sale de la app

### 1/5 — Zwangs Login Erneuerung nervt

*2025-03-06, version 3.6.22*

Warum muss man sich regelmäßig (jährlich) neu einloggen, meinen die App-Programmierer Nerd‘s das ihre User schneller sterben, als die App sich weiter entwickelt? Was soll dieses Bewusste Ignoranzverhalten. Soll man Stunden vor einen Radtraining erstmal alles durch checken? Dafür habe ich keine Zeit !ich will Fahrrad fahren! Wenn ihr uns wenigstens durch eine Benachrichtigung informieren würdet, wenn man Zwangs ausgeloggt wurde. Dann könnte man noch vor der Ausfahrt reagieren. Diese App soll doch in Verbindung mit Angi Leben retten? 
Habe mich schon oft über dieses Gebaren geärgert. Denke schon über einen Wechsel zu einem anderen Anbieter nach. Das Ausloggen ist ein NoGo. Brrr

### 1/5 — Slow and unreliable

*2025-02-26, version 3.6.22*

The app takes a very long time to open when selecting the activity. Fix is to open the activity, close the app and wait at least 30 minutes to see your activity. On top of that, the equipment you select, i.e bicycle, does not save.  Doesnt matter how many time I select my bike, it goes back to non selected.  I have no way of checking the mileage I put on a particular bike.  Restarted iphone several times and has gone thru several iphone updates.  App still behaves the same.
