Read full description

Twisties is the app built for riders who chase the twisty roads. Plan rides with routes shared by other motorcyclists. See the weather forecast for every checkpoint along your planned route, find the best window between showers, and pin a gas stop without leaving the map. The integrated rain radar shows live precipitation across Norway, so you know exactly what you're heading into. Track your ride with GPS in a single tap. Speed, distance, altitude, route polyline, and elapsed time are all recorded. After the ride, replay it from start to finish on a color-coded speed map, scrubbable elevation and speed profiles, time-in-speed bands, and a "compared to your average" summary so you can see how each ride stacks up against your own history. Connect with other riders. Follow friends, post photos and stories from the road, comment on rides, join Share a planned ride or a published route with anyone in one tap. Build your garage. Add your motorcycles, log photos, and pin the bike you're riding today so every recorded ride is tagged automatically. The Twisties community is for riders who love the corners as much as the destination — whether you're new on your A2 or you've been carving roads for decades. Twisties is independent, ad-free, and built by a rider for riders.
