Rouvy has successfully established itself as one of the leading providers in the indoor cycling sector and impresses with a variety of realistic and diverse routes. These clearly stand out from the crowd of purely 3D-animated graphics in the style of computer games. Unlike Zwift and similar platforms, Rouvy mainly relies on a combination of animated 3D riders with so-called Real Life Videos in 2D, which are recorded with high-resolution cameras and reflect the riding experience in the great outdoors particularly authentically (Augmented Reality).
We have successfully completed a partnership with the Czech company and look forward to introducing you to the diverse possibilities of this software in the coming months. As part of this collaboration, we were also able to secure one month of free training for three Bikeboarders, which we would like to offer here.

Rouvy in a nutshell
1. THE CLIMBING EXPERIENCE
By using elevation data from real routes, resistance changes are simulated on the smart trainer, which, in connection with the real-life recordings, convey a particularly realistic climbing feeling. Among the well-known climbs on Rouvy are the famous Alpe d'Huez with 21 hairpin turns in the French Alps, the challenging Mont Ventoux, which is often seen in the Tour de France, as well as the breathtaking Stelvio Pass in the Italian Alps.
While other indoor cycling apps may focus more on competitions, group rides, or virtual rewards, Rouvy emphasizes creating the most realistic climbing experience possible.
2. ROUTE DIVERSITY
Whether you're passionately battling uphill, prefer flat routes, or simply seek a leisurely ride through picturesque landscapes – Rouvy has something for everyone. From the gentle hills of Tuscany to majestic mountain passes of the French Alps to picturesque coastal roads in California, the platform ensures that new and exciting terrain is always ready to be explored.
3. AUGMENTED REALITY (AR) & OMNIMODE
With AR, virtual cyclists can be overlaid in 3D over the real footage, creating a seamless connection between the virtual and physical world. This feature not only adds an element of social interaction by riding alongside other virtual cyclists but also enhances the experience by embedding the virtual avatar into the actual video environment.
Newly added is the OmniMode with an improved 360° field of view, offering an even more immersive AR experience to every rider: The new features allow one to look around and over their shoulder, to stop the camera at a spot and see the peloton advance; moreover, they make the mapping of elevation changes finer, making riding over hills and undulating terrain more enjoyable.
4. GROUP RIDES, TRAINING MODES, AND WORKOUTS
In addition to the mentioned features, Rouvy offers group rides, special racing events or challenges, customizable avatars, and training plans for all levels of performance. Furthermore, structured workouts are available that can be applied to any virtual route. Whether you're focusing on endurance, interval training, or improving your climbing skills: Rouvy offers a variety of training options. Additionally, you have the opportunity to compete against your own time in a race, visualized by an avatar.
