|
Starting from ROUVY App 2.28.0 you can spend your earned Coins on tuning your bike frame! More info is in this section. |
How Do I Turn On the Feature?
The feature will be available for all users who have downloaded the newest version of the app.
No need to do anything else.
Everybody will get some options to start customizing their Avatars immediately.
|
Please note: This new feature will not affect any apparel you already have for your avatar. |
Where Do I Find Avatar Customization in the App?
Starting with the ROUVY App version 3.2.1, AVATAR Customization is available for everyone by clicking on your ICON in the top-left corner of the App, and then by clicking on the Customization button in the menu:
Or click on your current bike in the top bar to access Avatar Customization directly.
What Exactly Can I Customize?
You can now customize
- your Avatar's appearance (including your Avatar's gender),
- your cycling apparel, including the accessories, such as helmet, shoes, gloves, socks, and glasses,
- your Avatar's bike,
- you can also choose not to wear glasses or watch.
How Do I Customize My Avatar?
To customize your Avatar, you need to choose your PRESET first.
Preset is an already-made set of clothes and accessories to help you start customizing your Avatar.
You can choose:
- a Fully custom preset where you will be able to customize every part of the outfit;
- all the other presets where you can partially customize your look.
Each preset is described directly in the app to help you out.
Do not forget that you can change the color of some presets directly in the presets list.
You will see a color picker to the left of your 3D Avatar - slide it to choose the color you like.
Fully Custom Preset
In the Fully Custom preset, you can change each part of the apparel, including your jersey, bibs, helmet, glasses, gloves, socks, shoes, and watch separately.
Click directly on the part of clothes you want to change, and you will see the list of available items.
You can see which one is selected now, and all the changes are reflected immediately on your 3D Avatar.
You can also change the color of some apparel features using the color picker to the left as well.
You can also choose not to wear glasses and watch - click NONE in the item list.
Other Presets
When you choose any other preset apart from the Fully Custom one, some parts of the outfit can be locked - see the padlock symbol.
You cannot change those. To be able to change those, you need to choose some other/ fully customizable preset.
Customize your Frame and Wheels
|
Starting from ROUVY App 3.8.3 you can spend your earned Coins to upgrade your bike frame and wheels! |
To change your bike, scroll down a bit, and you'll find options to modify both your frame and wheels.
Both your frame and wheelset have WEIGHT and AERO parameters that affect your bike's behavior on route. Use your earned Coins to buy yourself a new bike frame or a wheelset.
|
WEIGHT impacts climbing - with lighter bikes allowing you to climb more easily, AERO frames and wheels are less wind-resistant, which gives you an advantage of going faster downhill, or on flat routes. The more stars, the better the frame or wheelset is in this particular aspect. |
Frames and wheels you already own are labeled as "Owned," and the ones your Avatar is currently using will be marked as "Selected." You’ll also see the Coin price for any upgrades you can buy.
Start customizing your Avatar now, and keep your eyes peeled for new Avatar customization features that are coming very soon.
