Indoor cycling game · beta waitlist open

Your trainer, your teleport to epic worlds.

Pair your smart trainer and drop into four worlds of our own making: climbs to conquer, creatures to collect, kits to earn.

Join the beta waitlist See the worlds

In development for Android, Windows and Google TV. Not on the stores yet.

How it works

The road tilts. Your legs feel it.

  1. 01

    Pair over Bluetooth

    Smart trainers, cadence sensors, power meters and heart-rate monitors. ANT+ and speed sensors for classic trainers are on the way.

  2. 02

    The gradient does the rest

    When the road goes up, the trainer gets heavier. When it eases, so does the trainer. You just ride.

  3. 03

    Train or wander

    Free-ride a world, or ride a planned session from your coaching app, your watch or bike computer, or Spinward itself. Every ride exports as .fit, and Strava upload is on the way.

Four worlds, and a loop

Low-poly, high altitude.

Every world is unique: its own nature, its own alien creatures, its own climbs. Feeling challenged? Try conquering the wall in each one.

Climb view

Know what's around the bend.

Like the climb page on a bike computer: the whole climb in coloured gradient sections, where you are on it, and what the next section does to your legs.

Course preview

Turn the map before you turn a pedal.

Every route comes with a 3D relief map of its world: forests, lakes, contour lines and the climbs picked out in gold. Spin it with a finger, slide it with two, then look at the profile and postcards from the road.

Collect

Something to chase besides watts.

Five low-poly Aurora Tundra creatures: Snowtuft, Tuskling, Rimewing, Glacierback and Aurorawyrm

The Field Book: 20 alien creatures

Five live in each world. They turn up on the road while you ride; collect one and it goes in the book.

  • Uncommon
  • Rare
  • Epic
  • Legendary
Six riders on different unlockable bikes, including a time-trial bike with a disc wheel

Kit worth earning

Bikes (TT bikes too), helmets, wheels and jerseys. Some jerseys carry aurora and nebula prints or leave a trail of sparks.

A pet on your wing

Earn one of 20 pets and it rides beside you: it spins with your cadence, glows when you push and lifts on the climbs.

Mythic. Black and gold. Not easy.

A set of Hardcore challenges built around the walls. The rewards are Mythic, and you'll know one when you see it.
