App Dashboard
Once the ROUVY app is downloaded and successfully installed, log in to the app and have a look at what you can find on the dashboard:
- to your left, there is the navigation bar where you will find the most important sections of the app;
| MENU | Here is your personal hub. You can customize your avatar, view ride statistics, check achievements, and see your goals. You can also manage your subscription and connect with friends through the Riders Portal links here. More on the app's own settings in In-app Settings. |
| SEARCH | Use various filters to search through ROUVY's routes and pick your next best ride. Events have their own search inside the Events section. |
| HOME | This will always bring you back to the main dashboard. |
| CHALLENGES | Find all current Challenges here, including your weekly goals and recommendations for your next challenge. |
| ROUTES | Explore all of ROUVY's route Collections, from the IRONMAN series and trending routes to your downloaded ones, your Favourites and your Ride later queue. |
| EVENTS | Here you can join group rides or races, and accept event invitations from your friends. To narrow the list down, use event search and filters. |
| WORKOUTS | Here you will find all your workouts and training plans. Browse through difficulty levels or get inspired by cycling professionals. |

- on the top of the dashboard you have the status bar, showing your earned Experience and Coins, as well as the status of your connected devices, including connected sensors and the Companion App;
- here you can also view your current bike, and click it to go straight to avatar customization.
- if you click your icon in the top-left corner, you go to your user profile, where you can see your Career level, adjust your personal data, and customize your avatar. For a closer look at everything in the menu, see In-app Settings.
- scroll down on your main dashboard to see challenges, current events, recommended routes, and workouts.
- once you have picked a route, click the route tile to see its length, elevation, expected duration, the country it was filmed in, and more. Scroll down for similar routes.
Ride setup
Next to the yellow Start Ride button there is Ride setup. It holds the settings worth choosing before you clip in:
- add Pace Partners: up to 10 of them, pacing, drafting, or a real rider's previous ride on the same route;
- add or remove ghost riders;
- set your reality level: how closely your trainer follows the real gradients;
- switch drafting on or off;
- add a warm-up or a cool-down;
- turn on Compare with my PR to ride against your own personal record.
|
Most of these settings have no effect on your results. Two of them do: lowering the reality level below 100%, and teleporting. Either one makes the ride ineligible for challenges and leaderboards. All of it is explained in Unified Riding Mode: One Way to Ride. |
Then just click the yellow Start Ride button and enjoy the ROUVY cycling world.

Make sure that your trainer or sensors are up to date. We recommend calibrating your trainer and updating your firmware regularly.
If you have a Smart Trainer, always make sure it is connected as CONTROLLABLE so that you can feel the gradient changes.
Make sure that your trainer or sensors are connected only to the ROUVY App. You can troubleshoot any issues in this section.
If you want to enjoy the scenery alone, you can hide other users in app settings. A closer look at this feature and more tips is in this article.
If you would rather have company, join a group ride or add your own Pace Partners.
We strongly recommend downloading the route video before your ride, especially before a race organized by ROUVY.
