Regular bike rides are supported too. Very short or invalid recordings cannot publish or count toward competitions. Roth Activity Tracker is not an emergency, medical, or turn-by-turn navigation service. GPS accuracy depends on your device and surroundings.

Seamlessly In Sync: Pair your gear and tune out the noise. Effortlessly sync the Monarc Radar, Smart Helmet, or TPMS Sensor to your ride. Monarc Smart Tech makes your bike feels less like a machine and more like an extension of you. Your Bike. Your Rules: Every rider reads the trail differently. This is your tool to shape how your bike answers to your pedal. You can back the power off for a casual ride, or crank up the torque so the motor kicks in as soon as you take off. It takes two seconds to adjust when the terrain changes, giving you a ride that feels totally, uniquely yours. Record Your Routes: Every route you discover belongs in your field notes. Map your paths, log the distance, and pin the exact trailheads or coffee stops that made the ride memorable. Drop in your favorite snapshots and personal field notes so you can always find your way back to the rides you loved. Life by bike has never been easier. On Your Marks, Get Set, Go: True freedom means getting lost in the surroundings, not the directions. Turn-by-turn navigation gives you hands-free guidance right from your handlebars. No stopping to double-check maps or wrong turns. Explore unfamiliar crossroads and new terrain with complete confidence, while the app quietly logs every mile, turn, and summit elevation in the background. Every Monarc Bike pairs easily to the Monarc App. You will simply scan the QR code on your bike to sync to the app. You'll set your bike model, color, even give your bike a name and then create your rider profile. That's it. Put your phone away, pedal (or throttle), and go find some fresh air.
