CicloZone is cloud-based, so a stable internet connection is always required — for both the studio box and riders' phones.
How the pieces connect
The studio box (Android TV device) connects to your TV by HDMI and to power by cable, and reaches CicloStudio over the internet (Ethernet recommended, Wi-Fi if reliable).
Riders' phones connect to CicloStudio over the internet too (studio Wi-Fi or cellular) — not by Bluetooth to the screen. Bluetooth on the phone is only used to pair the bike and heart-rate monitor.
For the studio box (CicloHub or Android TV)
Minimum: ~10 Mbps — roughly the standard requirement for 1080p streaming.
Ethernet is strongly recommended for stability.
Wi-Fi works too if it's reliable.
For riders' personal devices
Any good, stable internet connection.
We recommend connecting personal devices to the studio Wi-Fi rather than cellular for the most reliable in-class experience.
Cellular data is supported — the app works identically on cellular, with no functional limitations.
What if the connection drops?
CicloStudio has a short offline tolerance of about 5 minutes. If the connection comes back inside that window, the class continues without being exited.
If the studio Wi-Fi or screen fails entirely, the class can still run on riders' personal devices — see "Can I run a class without the studio screen?".
Can I download classes for offline use?
No. Content is always streamed.
