Leading indoor cycling brand Wattbike announces the launch of its new Leaderboards feature.
This innovative addition offers Wattbikers of all levels an engaging and competitive platform to track their performance, set new personal records, and compete with a global community.
The Leaderboards feature includes a variety of challenges, such as endurance tests, hill climbs, speed sprints, and distance goals.
Wattbikers can easily participate by completing any workout in the ‘Challenges’ category or by taking part in selected tests and climbs via the free-to-use Wattbike Training Hub app.
By default, the Leaderboards display “all-time” results, with a monthly breakdown coming soon to help users track their progress more closely.
Alongside this launch Wattbike is running its latest edition of its signature 1k Challenge, calling on all Wattbikers to complete the 1k workout in the Wattbike Training Hub as quickly as possible. There will be a £250 voucher to spend in the Wattbike eComm store for the winner.
This summer, Wattbike is also introducing special challenges themed around the Tour de France and the Olympics.
During July there will be a series of tour-themed climbs across Cime de la Bonette, Col Bayard, Col du Galibier, Puy Mary & Sauveur as part of the Summer Sessions series.
Distance challenges will return during the Olympics and throughout August, mirroring some of the iconic races set to be run at the Velodrome National during Paris 2024.
These challenges provide a unique opportunity for Wattbikers of all levels to participate, whether they have a bike at home, use one at the gym, or are part of a school or athletic program.
Designed to be fun and inclusive, these events offer potential for competition across various groups and sports, and even serve as a platform for talent identification.
“Our goal with the Leaderboards is to enhance motivation and foster a sense of community among Wattbike users,” said Stephen Loftus, CEO of Wattbike.
“Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or simply riding to keep fit, this feature offers a fun and dynamic way to challenge yourself and achieve your fitness goals.”
Alex Dowsett, former World Tour cyclist and Wattbike ambassador, expressed his enthusiasm for the new initiative, as he said, “The Leaderboards are a really exciting new feature, and are a great way for cyclists to better their best and enjoy a bit of gentle competition at the same time.
It’s a fantastic way to stay motivated and engaged with your training, and I’m looking forward to giving it a go myself!”
Participants can track their progress with detailed analytics and enjoy a seamless experience with any Wattbike model linked to the Hub app. Users can also choose to manage their privacy settings to control the visibility of their rides.
Exciting updates on the horizon include Team Events, sub-leaderboards for teams or groups of friends, country-specific rankings, and personal best (PB) functionality.
These enhancements are designed to make cycling even more fun and engaging, offering new ways to compete, collaborate, and celebrate achievements within the global Wattbike community.
