The Rider Dials are your in-class screen on your phone or tablet during a CicloZone ride. They show your effort against the target in real time — power, heart rate and RPM. What else appears depends on which ride you chose in the app: a Studio Ride, a Free Ride, CicloTV or Home Ride.
Which ride are you in?
The CicloZone app menu gives you four rides, and the Rider Dials look a little different in each:
Studio Ride — an in-studio class.
Free Ride — your own personal session, with no pre-planned class.
CicloTV — scheduled at-home sessions on a timetable.
Home Ride — on-demand classes at home.
Rider Dials in a Studio Ride
In a Studio Ride, the Rider Dials on your phone show your effort against the class the studio screen is running. You get power, heart rate, RPM, the class profile, and the name of the class and its instructor.
Power zone (left)
On the left is your power zone. It shows the target zone and your current power output, taken from the bike.
Heart rate zone (right)
On the right is your heart rate zone if you have a heart rate monitor connected. Otherwise it will duplicate Power zone. The same HR zone will be duplicated to the left if no Power (bike) is connected.
RPM (centre)
In the centre is the RPM dial. The target RPM is shown in a box and around the outer border of the dial; your current RPM is in the middle. Power, RPM and heart rate all move as you ride, and the matching target zone glows when you hit it.
Class profile (bottom)
Along the bottom is the class profile — the shape of the class, where you are in it, and how you are performing against it. It starts empty and fills in as you ride.
Leaderboard
Swipe left to see the on-device leaderboard. Swipe left again to come back to the Rider Dials.
Menu options
Tap the menu icon in the top right to toggle options during the ride:
Show notifications — motivational and status pop-ups.
Leaderboard participation.
Headphone / device audio.
ERG Mode.
Adaptive FTP.
If a sensor drops mid-class
If your heart rate signal is lost, the dial duplicates your power metrics. If the bike signal is lost, the dial duplicates your heart-rate metrics.
To reconnect without leaving the class, open the menu and tap Bluetooth connections — it shows the bike and heart rate monitor you are connected to.
Ending the class
Tap End, then Stop Riding.
Your analytics page opens with your ride summary — your performance against the class and all your ride metrics.
Rider Dials in a Free Ride
A Free Ride is your own personal session with no pre-planned class, so there is no class profile to ride against. The dials still show power, heart rate and RPM, plus a range of other metrics you can configure to taste in the menu.
Rider Dials in CicloTV and Home Ride
At home, there is no studio screen, so the class visuals appear on your own device instead. The dials are the same as in the studio, but shrunk down to Power, RPM and HR and embedded into the class visuals.
If you are teaching the class, you get extra dials
An instructor is a rider too — in the studio they see the same Rider Dials as everyone else. But when they are assigned to teach, they get extra screens on top: the leaderboard, and the Trainer Dials in a Live class or the Free Style Dials in a Free Style class, which let them set the target power and RPM that riders see.
See “How do I use the Trainer Dials in class?” for how those work.
