How do I export my ride data?

Ride data can be exported automatically via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth sync to platforms like Strava and TrainingPeaks, or manually via USB connection to a computer.

Troubleshooting

Device does not power on

Ensure the device is fully charged. Connect to the charger and check if any indicator lights appear. Try a different USB-C cable and power adapter.

Inaccurate GPS tracking

Make sure you are outdoors with a clear view of the sky. Ensure the GNSS system is enabled in settings and try restarting the device. Check for firmware updates.

Sensors not connecting

Verify that sensors are powered on and within range. Unpair and re-pair the sensors through the device's connectivity menu. Check sensor batteries.
