Three worlds. Pick one.

Built like the app. The Road to ride somewhere, Watt Defense to hold the line, the Arena to measure yourself on the boards. All on the same honest physics.

The Road in play: a country road running to the horizon, your own bike in the foreground. — The Road
Ride somewhere. Alone, against a field, or right inside a story. The road stays the same; the ride never does.

Ride

Head out, however you feel today.

Race

The field pulls, you sit on a wheel, and then the radio crackles: “Last five hundred. Pick your wheel.”

Norwegian fjord at night: green aurora curtains above red cabins. — Story Rides
The road tells the story with you. A made-up tale over a very real watt zone.

Coast road in morning light between palm trees, pink sky to the horizon. — Free Ride
Just you and the world. No target, no pressure, only the next bend.

Alpine pass at dawn, spectators lining both verges. — Time Trial
You against the clock, and the clock never gives. Bronze, silver, gold on every track.

Train

The trainer holds the number. You hold on.

Red desert hills, the sun low in the haze. The bike computer shows heart rate 145 in the green of the scale, with 136 watts and HOLD below it. — Zone-2 Autopilot
Easy aerobic base. The trainer keeps you in the zone.

Cherry trees in evening light. Up top the Sweet Spot 3×10 card reads 184 of 198 watts and ON TARGET, with the workout blocks in yellow and blue on the left. — ERG Mode
Fixed watts or a structured workout. You pedal, the trainer holds.

A village road under red tiled roofs. Up top the heart-rate zone 132 to 150 at 149 bpm and IN ZONE, with the list of sections from Z2 to Z4 on the left. — Zone Intervals
Z2 base, 4×4 threshold, VO₂ intervals, scored by zone.

An evening road between fir trees towards Brookhaven, lit by the handlebar lamp. Up top 145 bpm at 196 watts, IN ZONE. — Pulse Lock
You set the heart-rate zone, the trainer steers the watts.

The block library on the left with flat, rolling, climb and wall blocks, a track of seven blocks ending in a 300 m sprint on the right, and above it 10.7 km, 200 m of climbing and just under 21 minutes. — Workout Builder
Drag effort blocks, FTP-scaled, with live time and W/kg.

An oval window above the clouds at 4,098 m, with round gauges beside it reading 235 watts against a target of 220, cadence 85 and heart rate 140. — Ramp Test
20 watts more every minute until you crack. That is your FTP.

Play

Training like an arcade cabinet you keep feeding coins.

Just before the fork: red Mars under a pale sky on the left, grey Moon under a black sky on the right, each side with its own sun. Above, stage 3 of 7 and the cards for left and right. — OutRide Arcade
Every fork is your call: short and brutal, or long and tactical. Your ghost just ahead.

Candy-coloured hills with red trees. Up top question 2 of 10 asks how many symphonies Beethoven wrote, with four answers from A to D. — Interval Quiz
Answer with your cadence, sprint for the prize money.

A desert road between cacti towards a red sprint gate. Up top the call for sprint 3 of 10 in 27 m, full power. — Sprint Mode
Every kilometre a 100 m sprint through the speed trap.

Desert at dusk, a rider ahead in the beam of the lamp. Up top 2 of 7 overtaken, the next one 16 m ahead. — Overtake Mission
Pass everyone before the line, or no clear.

Build

Your stage, your rules.

Track Builder (Directeur)

Biomes, branches, time of day, weather. Every world is open.

Ride a story

A narrative gives your training a reason from the inside. The coach writes fiction over real, validated watt zones. Free & Breakaway get a story every week. Directeur Sportif opens the full archive, the AI-generated rides and the story editor, where you write your own.

Ride a story →

Real training in fiction

Every story holds a real %FTP target corridor. The narrative is fiction, the watts aren't.

Honest AI coaching

The AI writes the world, the code owns every watt and shows you the safety checks it passed.

Story of the Week, free

Even on Free: a new curated story from the library every week.

Write your own (Directeur)

The story editor: beat by beat, the road, the world, who is chasing you and what happens on the way. You see what you are building while you build it. Plus the full archive and AI-generated rides.

OutRide Arcade

A branching road network. Pick your line. Every fork reconverges. Time-attack on every stage, gold in your sights, your ghost ahead and the world on the leaderboard behind you.

Ride a line →

Pick your line

A reconverging lattice: shorter and brutal, or longer and tactical. Three sets: 20, 25 and 30 km.

Difficulty by colour

Every line colour-coded, from easy spin to killer climb. You see exactly what you're in for.

Time-attack & medals

Bronze/Silver/Gold per stage, FTP-scaled. Fast enough, and new tracks open up.

Global leaderboard

Every line has its own ranking, fair by W/kg. Anti-cheat keeps the top times real.

Watt Defense in play: a night-time wasteland in teal and black, shafts of light in the sky, your own vehicle centre frame between rocks and ruins. — Watt Defense
Its own mode. Tower defense, played with watts instead of clicks.
Your legs are the power grid. Pedal and the towers fire. Ease off and the wave gets through.

Watts are firepower

No clicking, no fake resources. Your real output charges and fires. Hard intervals hit different.

Campaign & world map

Move across the map, build your base, clear the Ignition Test (your FTP), take on the weekly boss.

Overheating is real

Too hot for too long and the towers overheat. Energetically honest, no cheat buttons.

Recovery counts tactically

A short breather recharges the defense. Pacing is game strategy here.

Defend the grid →

The wooden track in the velodrome, a rider ahead on the left, packed stands all round. Up top Hold the Wheel with a 1 m gap and 120 watts. — The Arena
The velodrome. 250 metres, banked turns.
No scenery, no detour. Only the track, the lap, and what you put into the pedals.

Open now

Motor-paced behind the derny

The FTP test as a real race. The derny pulls you lap after lap, a little faster every step, until you let the wheel go. The hall murmurs, the motor roars ahead of you, and at the end there is applause.

Your team director rides with you

Arthur, Bruno or Leo. One of the three is on the radio, in Free Ride and in a race: when to push, when to stay on the wheel, when it is time. You never ride quite alone.

Ride with a coach →

Live, not afterwards

Over team radio and on screen. Reads your power, cadence and heart rate, and tells you right away if you got it.

Six goals

FTP, endurance, recovery, cadence, climbing, sprints. Recovery warns you when your heart rate climbs too high. Sprints get scored on the spot.

In Free Ride and in a race

In Free Ride he gives you a goal for today; in a race he reads the field. Currently at no extra charge. For the Free Ride goals you need a heart rate strap.

Three characters

Arthur has seen it all. Bruno: few words, big pressure. Leo is young and reads the data. You choose who talks in your ear.

Hear what you ride

Put your headphones on and you can tell where you are with your eyes shut. The sound follows your bike and the world, not a music loop.

Hear it for yourself →

Your bike

The chain runs with your cadence and your watts. Stop pedalling and the freewheel clicks in time with the wheel. The wind only picks up from about 25 km/h.

The ground

Asphalt, concrete, cobbles, gravel, grass, sand and mud all sound different, wet or dry.

The world

Coast, forest, mountains, city and desert sound different, and night differs from day. Rain drums on your helmet, in the leaves and on the road. Anyone passing you goes by audibly.

The Arena

In the FTP test: the murmur of the hall, announcements, the motor in front of you, and applause at the end.

From the coast road to orbit

Every world is its own road with its own light, its own weather and its own inhabitants. Everything below is a real screen from the game, not rendered for the brochure.

Coast road in morning light: palms line both sides, the sea flashing between the trunks on the left, a wind turbine turning above the bank on the right, pink sky to the horizon. — Coast

Mountain road climbing at sunset: scattered firs and bare trunks on green slopes, the road running over the crest, orange-pink sky above. — Mountains

Alpine pass at dawn on a 9% ramp: spectators line both verges, a chalet and a sheep on the slope, the sun low over the ridge. — Alpine pass

Forest road in morning light: tall spruces on both sides, a stack of felled logs on the verge, amber sky above the crest. — Forest

Cherry-blossom avenue at sunset: pink trees in bloom and a red torii by the verge, petals drifting through the frame, the sun low in the road's curve. — Sakura

Tuscan country road at sunset: rows of cypresses and ochre farmhouses on rolling hills, the sun exactly in the vanishing point. — Tuscany

Road along a fjord at sunset: red timber houses and a Norwegian flag by the verge, water to the right, the sun low behind the firs. — Fjord

Norwegian fjord at night: green aurora curtains dancing over red cabins and a Norwegian flag, the full moon above the road. — Northern lights

Big city at night: tower blocks with lit windows on both sides, the headlamp cone lying on the empty road, stars above the rooftops. — Big city

Racetrack by day: the bike leans into the corner, red-and-white kerbs and tyre stacks along the edge, filled grandstands behind. — Racetrack

Road through open water: a submarine passes overhead, a jellyfish drifts by the verge, shafts of light falling into the turquoise depth. — Open water

Sand track across the sea floor: a red shoal crossing above the road, sponges and seagrass along the verge, bright turquoise water overhead. — Coral reef

Sweet world at sunset: ice-cream cones, lollipops, candy canes and cupcakes along the roadside. — Candyland

Desert road at sunset: deep orange over the flat plain, saguaro cacti and reddish boulders on both sides. — Desert

Canyon road at sunset: a red butte standing right of the track, a telephone pole on the verge, cacti and scree under an orange sky. — Canyon

Winter landscape at sunset: the road sweeping across wide white plains, bare trees and dark conifers on the verge, the sun low over the mountains. — Snow

Rainbow road through space: the surface glows in every colour and banks into the corner, a purple ringed planet and coloured cubes drifting in the starfield. — Rainbow road

Road across Mars: rust-red dust and rocks under a cool blue-grey sunset. On Mars the sunset really is blue. — Mars

Road across the lunar surface: grey dust and boulders under a pitch-black sky full of stars. — Moon

Road in deep space: a blazing sun above the crest, a golden ringed planet to the right, asteroids drifting across the carriageway. — Deep space

Track in orbit: the bike leans into the bend, satellites and debris drifting past, Earth below. — Orbit

26 road worlds plus 13 in Watt Defense. Four times of day and six weathers change each of them again.

And then the weather turns

Big city at night in the rain: lit tower-block windows on both sides, rain falling through the headlamp cone, the wet tarmac mirroring the light. — Rain night

Forest road in fog at sunset: rows of trees fade into the mist in layers, the light standing as a milky column above the road. — Fog

Country road in a thunderstorm: rain falling against a violet sky, a big red barn to the right, hay bales on the verge, the tarmac slick and mirroring. — Storm

Honest training, verifiable down to the watt

Structured workouts, periodized plans in Story Rides and 13 levels of Watt Defense. Real training on physics that's out in the open.

Zone-2 Autopilot

Ride your target watts and the trainer also regulates live by heart rate. You stay right in the optimal Zone-2 window. Train your base more effectively, with no constant fiddling.

Pulse Lock

Train right inside a target heart-rate zone. The trainer steers the power so you hold your pulse steady, whatever your day's form.

Progress you can see

Aerobic decoupling after every steady ride and watts-per-heartbeat over weeks: proof your engine is growing.

FTP that grows with you

As your form improves we suggest a higher FTP (never lower), so the classes stay honest.
