Turn your Bluetooth smart trainer into a full structured-training studio. Connect any FTMS-compatible smart trainer over Bluetooth and ride — live power, cadence, speed, and heart rate displayed in real time. Pick a structured workout and ERG mode holds your exact target wattage automatically. Or free ride and watch your effort on a live rolling power chart. SMART TRAINER CONNECTION Pairs with any FTMS-compatible Bluetooth trainer. Live Indoor Bike Data: instant power, cadence, speed, distance, and heart rate. Automatic reconnect between sessions. STRUCTURED WORKOUTS — ERG MODE Seven built-in training profiles: Easy Spin, Endurance, Sweet Spot, Tempo, Threshold, VO₂ Max Intervals, and Cooldown. Each segment targets a percentage of your FTP; the app pushes the exact wattage to the trainer automatically. FREE RIDE MODE Real-time panels for power, cadence, speed, distance, heart rate, and trainer resistance. Live 60-point rolling power chart. Inline resistance controls. Screen stays on during rides. HEART RATE MONITOR SUPPORT Connects to any standard Bluetooth heart rate strap independently from the trainer. App prefers strap HR over trainer HR when both are present. WORKOUT HISTORY & ANALYTICS Every ride saved locally. Post-ride analytics include power and heart rate zone distributions, normalised power, intensity factor, and TSS. Full per-second history charts on every workout. CUSTOMISATION Set your FTP for accurate zone targets. Toggle between metric and imperial units. App remembers your paired trainer and HR strap between sessions. SUBSCRIPTIONS New users receive a 14-day free trial of all premium features. After the trial, basic riding remains free forever. ERG structured workouts, analytics charts, and power/HR zone distributions require a Cyclone subscription (£2.99/month or £29.99/year, cancel anytime).
