One of the fun things about riding on indoor training platforms such as ROUVY is the ability to build your dream bike fleet – without needing an enormous bank balance (and an enormous garage). In real life, having several different road bikes for different types of routes, plus a TT bike and a gravel bike just for fun is a pipe dream for most of us. But on ROUVY, you can N+1 as often as you like.
We take a look at the bikes available on ROUVY right now, talk you through how to unlock a new trusty steed. And share some tips on which bike to choose, when.
How to unlock a new bike on ROUVY
Before we get all misty-eyed admiring the bikes on ROUVY, first let’s recap how to unlock the ability to go virtual bike shopping in the first place for anyone new to the platform.
Every time you ride on ROUVY, you’ll earn experience points which will help you to progress through the career levels. But you’ll also earn coins each time you complete a route, finish a workout or participate in a group ride. The longer and/or more difficult the route, or the more people show up to the group ride – the more coins you’ll earn.
We’ll go through how many coins you need for each bike available on the platform in a second, but the more coins you rack up – the more choice you’re going to have.
Once you’ve got a solid number of coins, simply head to the ‘customization’ section (in the drop down list when you tap the ROUVY icon in the top left corner of the app) and get shopping.

The lighter a bike is, the easier it will be to ride up hills. However that can mean compromising on aerodynamics, meaning you’ll be slower on the flats and the downhills compared to those on more aero bikes.
TT bikes
For flatter courses, a TT bike will be a big advantage to boost your speed. They tend to be heavier, so you’d probably want to switch back to a road bike if you were planning to scale one of the big climbing routes. But for riding fast – a TT bike is best.

Gravel bikes
Chunkier tyres more your bag? ROUVY actually has a number of gravel routes available to explore on the platform. And while one of the benefits of indoor cycling is the fact you will never have to worry about getting a puncture should you venture onto rockier terrain on your virtual road bike. You can still ramp up the authentic gravel experience by switching to a gravel bike.
