VeloIQ Venue turns the velodrome into a live, measured experience for track cyclists. MOTION LAB Film a start, a flying effort, your aero position or a set in the gym with your phone. Motion Lab draws a live skeleton while you film, then shows your key angles and timings, times your start from the gate tones, and gives you Mo's read: what went well and what to work on first. Share a take with the coaches you choose and read their notes. BUILT FOR IPHONE DUO Closed, Today is a glance: your Velo IQ Score and level, tonight's focus, readiness, ride tokens, where you stand and your last effort, with the ride button under your thumb. Open the phone and every screen splits at the fold: the live board beside your declaration, your effort calendar beside the slip, Mo beside your day. Stand it on the rail between efforts and the clock reads from above while the controls stay flat below. • Mo, your training partner: ask about any lap, split or effort and get a plain answer. Mo opens as a sheet over whatever you're looking at, and continues in the Mo app. • Your Velo IQ Score: level up, track your rank at your home track and globally, and beat your personal bests. A new personal best reaches your phone and opens its slip. • Progress: a calendar of your ride days is the way into your record. Pick a day, open the effort, and the slip shows the time, the splits, the speed, the gear and the power. Share it as a card. • Live boards and results: see the standings for your heats and group rides as the timing posts them, on the venue's own clock. • Ride, measured: start a session with a live timer, laps, speed, power and heart rate, plus a Dynamic Island Live Activity so your ride stays on the Lock Screen. • Declare your efforts: tell the track what you are about to ride, so every result is labeled right. • Connect your gear: pair Bluetooth heart-rate straps, power meters and cadence sensors, or bring recovery data in from Apple Health for a daily readiness score. • Digital rider ID: a signed credential for fast, secure check-in at the gate, with Apple Wallet support. Your ID, numbers and efforts stay on screen when the track has no signal. • Ride together: start a synced session with friends on the track or the spin bikes. • Ride safety: an on-device crash check that can reach your emergency contact if something goes wrong. • Home and Lock Screen widgets: your score, rank, tokens, and readiness at a glance. • Links from your velodrome's site open straight in the app. Made with velodromes, for riders.
