Pixel Watts in play: the view over the handlebars onto a coastal road at sunset, palm trees along the verge, and the bike computer in the middle reading 180 watts, 140 bpm, 77 rpm and 24.9 km/h on a 0.7 per cent grade.
A real screen with real numbers — the figures on that bike computer come from the same physics the proof bench lays open.

Ride whatever you're in the mood for

From an easy Zone-2 spin to tower defense powered by your own legs — every mode runs on the same honest physics.

Flagship mode

OutRide Arcade

A branching neon track network, OutRun-style — you 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 & brutal or longer & tactical. Three sets — 20 / 25 / 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 its own ranking, fair by W/kg — with anti-cheat, so the top times are real.
Story Rides · Directeur

Ride a story, not a race

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 — and you see what you are building while you build it. Plus the full archive and AI-generated rides.
Tower defense

Watt Defense

Your legs are the power grid. Defend the network from the wave — every watt you pedal fires the towers. Ease off, and the defense weakens with you.

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.Defend the grid →
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.

And plenty more to ride

All GA, all fairly scored.

26 worlds, one bike

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.

Mountain road at sunset: pines on green hills, the sun low in the road's vanishing point, pink sky.
Mountains
Alpine pass at dawn: spectators line both verges cheering, a chalet and conifers behind them.
Alpine pass
Cherry-blossom avenue at sunset: pink trees in bloom, petals falling through the air, the sun low over the road.
Sakura
Tuscan country road at sunset: cypresses and rolling hills in warm evening light.
Tuscany
Road along a fjord at sunset: steep cliffs above the water, evening light on the surface.
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: lit tower-block windows, a full moon between the towers, buses at the kerb, the headlamp cone on the road.
Big city
Road across the sea floor: turquoise water, coral and seagrass along the verge, fish above the road.
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 dunes, cacti and rocks in silhouette.
Desert
Canyon road at sunset: red buttes and telephone poles under a gold-to-violet sky.
Canyon
Snowscape at sunset: pastel pink sky over white slopes, dark conifers, a cabin by the road.
Snow
Rainbow road through space: the surface glows in every colour, a purple ringed planet and stars in a black sky.
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

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

And then the weather turns

Big city at night in the rain: wet tarmac mirrors the light, lit windows, lamp cones in the downpour.
Rain night
Forest road in fog: rows of trees fade into the mist in layers, the sun glowing milkily through.
Fog morning
Country road in a thunderstorm at sunset: dense sheets of rain against an orange sky.
Storm
Time Trial
Race the clock — Bronze/Silver/Gold per track, unlocks worlds.
Free Ride
Pick a track and just ride. No targets, no pressure.
Interval Quiz
Answer mid-ride, sprint for prize money — A/B/C/D by cadence.
Sprint
Every kilometre a 100 m sprint through the speed trap.
Overtake Mission
A time trial where you must pass every bot — or no clear.
Track Builder (Directeur)
Build your own stage: biomes, branches, time of day, weather — every world open.
Discover
Your daily mix — one ready-to-go ride from every mode.
Training & physics

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
The standout: you ride your target watts and the trainer also regulates live by heart rate — so you stay right in the optimal Zone-2 window. More effective base training, 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.
Model vs. independent calculators✓ passed

The same physics the game runs — checked out in the open against bikecalculator & Gribble, with a PASS/FAIL table.
Fair by design

Leaderboards a beginner can actually win

Rankings that don't just reward the strongest legs — but the best ride.

W/kg classes A–D
Scored by power-to-weight, not raw watts — each class its own podium.
FTP-normalized
A 'vs par' axis, length-independent, where newcomers can top the board.
Regional Home Arcade
Pick your hall (country/region/city), with roll-up and a 90-day switch cooldown.
Anti-cheat
FTP plausibility + repeat-ride check, a VERIFIED badge, a 'verified only' filter.
