Real-time power, grade, and elevation. Your road, inside.
Not a game. Not a world. A road.
The fiction of indoor cycling is that it needs to be a video game. Avatars. Jerseys. Power-ups. Fictional islands you ride in circles.
Strappo is none of that. A real road — whichever one you want — rendered live from geometry, matched to your trainer gradient-for-gradient. Every meter real. Every watt yours.
Your ride goes to Strava with real GPS — the actual road, mapped. Not a fictional island. Your watts, your elevation, your route.
No fake dopamine. Just real roads, real gradients, and a coach who knows what you actually did.
The difference
Not the same road.
Your commute. Your lunch loop. Your favorite climb. The route you're training for next month. If it's on a map, you can ride it tonight.
| Strappo | The alternatives | |
|---|---|---|
| Routes | Your roads. Tap any road, or import from Strava in one tap. | Curated libraries and shared catalogs. |
| Visuals | 3D satellite imagery, moving at your speed. | Recorded video or virtual worlds. |
| Workouts | ERG intervals on real terrain. Sweetspot on the actual climb. | Structured workouts often live separately from the roads you're riding. |
Platforms considered: Zwift, Rouvy, MyWhoosh, TrainerRoad.
How it rides
Three taps. Zero excuses.
Tap a road.
The route builder lets you pin anywhere on Earth. Or import your most-ridden routes straight from Strava.
Feel the climb.
Your trainer resistance updates in real time to match the terrain. Gravity, wind, drag — the same forces that act on you outside.
Land on Strava.
Every ride auto-uploads with real GPS, real elevation, real power. Tagged indoor so it doesn't pollute KOMs. Your route on the map, your data in your feed.
Your Coach
Your coach knows this climb.
Before every ride, your coach reviews the route, your current form, and how your body is doing today. You get a brief specific to this climb, this gradient, this morning, before you clip in.
Your coach reads your WHOOP, Oura, and Apple Health data. If recovery is low, the targets adjust. No point chasing watts on a red day.
After the ride.
Every session gets a debrief: where you held the line, where you faded, what it means for the week. Training load tracked automatically. No spreadsheets.
Objective
26 km, 382 m of climbing. You're 16 days off the bike: hold Zone 2 to 3, roughly 140 to 175 watts, and build volume without blowing up on the climbs.
Pacing
First climb at 5 km, 3.4 km at 5.3%. Hold 160–170 watts seated. Descents are recovery — let the watts drop.
- Cadence above 80 rpm on the climbs. Spin through the gradient, don't grind it.
- Steady watts beat short surges. Resist the urge to spike on the ramps.
Your actual brief. Generated before every ride.
Built for Wahoo KICKR. Tacx Neo. Elite Suito. Any Bluetooth smart trainer. Click/Cog and physical controllers supported via BikeControl.
A few questions
- How do routes work?
- Tap any road on the map and ride it. No import needed. Or choose from 100+ curated routes: iconic climbs, race stages, and local favorites. If you have a Strava route or a GPX file, those work too.
- Will it work with my trainer?
- Strappo controls Wahoo KICKR and many Bluetooth FTMS smart trainers from Tacx, Elite, Saris, Zycle, and more. Tacx NEO-family trainers can use their built-in downhill simulation on descents when plugged in. Shifter-style controllers pair through BikeControl. ANT+ FE-C isn't native to iPhone or iPad, and speed-sensor-only trainers don't support automatic grade control.
- How realistic does the resistance feel?
- Strappo turns rough GPS and elevation files into smooth, believable trainer resistance. It cleans the route, shapes the grade, and smooths every trainer command so famous climbs and race courses feel like roads. Not random resistance spikes.
- Do I need Strava?
- No. Strava is optional. Connect it once and every ride auto-uploads as a real activity: real GPS, real elevation, tagged indoor so it won't pollute your segments. Skip it and everything else still works; you just don't get the upload.
- What am I actually looking at during a ride?
- You're looking at the real road rendered from live 3D satellite imagery. The map moves at your speed, follows the actual route geometry, and reflects every turn and climb. It's not a prerecorded video and it's not a game world.
- What does the physics model simulate?
- Rider weight, terrain grade, momentum over crests, and real descents. On compatible trainers, Strappo sends negative grade so descents feel like descents. It feels like a road.
- Are structured workouts supported?
- Yes. ERG mode works on real roads. Your trainer can hold a target wattage while you ride actual terrain instead of staring at an interval graph.
- Can I ride with friends?
- Multiplayer is coming in an early update post-launch. For v1.0, every route is rideable solo with full trainer resistance, real GPS, and Strava upload.
- How is this different from Zwift?
- No avatars. No cartoon worlds. No fictional islands to ride in circles. Strappo renders real roads: a Tour stage, a backroad in the Dolomites, the climb you rode last weekend, with every gradient matched to your trainer in real time. The map moves because you moved, at your speed, always.
