ROUVY is an indoor cycling app that uses 2D outdoor video footage of cycling routes, including load and height profiles, with artificially created augmentations. This creates a 3D virtual environment, which is then viewed on a screen while the rider is sitting on their indoor training bike. Riders can use a "smart trainer" to replicate a real life ride as resistance in the bike is increased or decreased to simulate the actual gradient encountered on the augmented route.
The app allows riders to participate in various a variety of cycling activities for riders such as hill climbing, time trials, races, group rides, structured training plans and interval training. The app also provides detailed performance data and analytics, allowing riders to track their progress over time.
History
The idea for the app was developed by brothers Petr and Jiří Samek.
In 2020, ROUVY became the virtual partner of La Vuelta and launched La Vuelta Virtual, an annual online event.
In August 2021, the company VirtualTraining behind the Rouvy brand was bought by the investment group Pale Fire Capital.
ROUVY is also a virtual partner of triathlon organizations P.T.O. and Challenge Roth.
In 2024, the company launched its Route Creator, which allows users to upload user-generated GPS-enabled footage of routes. The app then processes the footage to create a 3D rideable course, using real-life video footage where available, allowing riders to explore new routes and places virtually.
