About this app

Specialized Ride is your go-to app for recording bike rides, analyzing your cycling metrics, planning rides with friends, and cycling safely when riding by yourself.

BE SAFE ON YOUR RIDE
Have peace of mind on all your bike rides when you connect your Specialized ANGi sensor with the Ride app and enable Live Tracking.

If your ANGi detects a crash event where you’ve likely been knocked unconscious, your emergency contacts will be sent an email or text alert from your phone and notified of your location.

Live Tracking allows your emergency contacts to follow you along during your ride. Simply turn on ride alerts for an emergency contact and the app will automatically notify them when you’ve started a ride.

RIDE RECORDING & POST-RIDE ANALYTICS
Whether you’re training for a race or event, using your bike for commuting or getting around town, or to explore the trails with your friends, you can use the free ride recorder to track all of your bike rides.

The Ride app automatically tracks stats like speed, distance, time riding, and elevation. When you’re done riding, you can view the ride history and analytics tabs to see how your activity is trending.

We offer full integration with Garmin, Wahoo*, and Strava, so it’s extra easy to record rides and share them with your friends.
If you have a heart rate monitor, cadence sensor, or power meter connected to your Garmin or Wahoo device, you can see that data as well.

SPECIALIZED BIKE REGISTRATION AND WARRANTY ACTIVATION
Although you can record a cycling activity on any bike using the Ride app, riders with Specialized bikes can use the app to register their bike and activate its warranty.

COMMUNITY EVENTS & GROUP RIDES
Be on the lookout for community events, bike demos, and more on the community tab in the Ride app’s feed.

If you enjoy riding with others, you can join and create group rides in the Ride app. The group message board lets you communicate with riders who’ve joined the ride and keeps everyone informed.

When you’re looking for a ride to join, you can search for rides based on day, time, type, and distance.
If you want to create a group ride, you can import a route, choose an existing route, or create a route using the route planner.

ROUTE LIBRARY & ROUTE BUILDER
If you need inspiration for your next ride, the Ride app hosts an ever-growing global library of bike routes.

Additionally, we have an easy-to-use route builder tool that is housed on ride.specialized.com.

Once you’re done creating a route, you’ll be able to add it to any group ride that you plan. Riders interested in joining will be able to see a map view of the route, as well as distance, elevation, and whether the route is on road, gravel, or the trails.




NOTE: Continued use of GPS running in the background may decrease phone battery life
*Incoming Wahoo connections will need to be established on ride.specialized.com

Edit:. Ok, you are right. I like the updates and the issue with the ride not saving is fixed. I like the ride analysis and tracking miles on the gear. I would love to be able to add components (like brakes or tires) to the bicycle to track miles for individual components, but that is small. I can now see using Ride as an alternative to Strava rather than having both. ANGi has always worked great for me, and I appreciate not needing a subscription for the feature.

Hi Jason, keep an eye out for our next release. We're implementing a new version of our ride recording engine; this should make your experience even better! Thanks for the feedback.

I have had horrific usability issues with there being an issue almost every single ride 1) huge delays in the notifications 2) I've had a crash (over bars) that helmet didn't pick up 3) even just as a ride tracking tool, the app is super inconsistent. I try to turn it off after leaving the trailhead and it often picks up 10-20 minutes of the car ride on the way home This app/experience feels like they either 1) outsource to a 3rd party dev team 2) don't really check usability x-platform

Very unreliable sending in saving my ride (looks like it tries - the spinning thing goes, then says ride saved, but when I go to look at the ride, it is not there). Also, not sending 'ride finished' notifications to my contact. I have the latest version (and have uninstalled and reinstalled) and latest Android update. Have contacted tech support via email twice in last month, no answer (maybe no tech support department?)

What's new

This release includes the following critical bug fixes:
* Users who were unable to login to the app without it crashing will now be able to login
* Users who were being logged out unexpectedly should no longer be logged out

Thank you for your patience with us as we worked on these fixes!
