Rouvy says its latest updates will improve social interaction, make riding more realistic and offer greater customisation.\u00a0<\/p>

The bumper autumn updates will enable you to connect with riders by adding them as friends, while new \u2018corner braking\u2019 is intended to provide a more realistic ride on the indoor cycling app<\/a>. <\/p>

Rouvy\u2019s product director, Marek-Martin Matyska, says: \u201cOur goal with these updates is to bring the Rouvy community closer together and to provide tools that enhance the overall experience for every type of rider, whether they enjoy the social aspect or prefer a more solitary journey.\u201d<\/p>

Rouvy says its latest updates bring \u201cenhanced social interaction to the forefront\u201d.<\/p>
You can now add fellow riders as friends to make it easier to plan and ride together, according to Rouvy.<\/p>
You\u2019ll be able to interact with other users through comments and reactions, including ‘kudos’, ‘take a pull’ and ‘follow me’.\u00a0<\/p>
You can turn these features off if you\u2019re more of an indoor cycling<\/a> introvert or like indoor riding to be boring<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>
Easier event organisation<\/h2>
$\"Create$
Creating events will be easier, according to Rouvy. – Rouvy<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>
Once you\u2019ve made friends on Rouvy, its improved event creation enables you to invite them on rides.\u00a0<\/p>
Rouvy says it has enhanced its leaderboards as well, enabling you to filter by category and age group, offering \u201ca more competitive edge tailored to individual performance\u201d.<\/p>
Tailor workouts<\/h2>
$\"Rouvy$
There will be a comprehensive guide to help you tailor workouts. – Rouvy<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>
Rouvy\u2019s new workout creator means you can design indoor training sessions<\/a> to match your training goals.\u00a0<\/p>
To aid you with this process, Rouvy has created a comprehensive guide on its blog and YouTube.\u00a0<\/p>
Corner braking\u00a0<\/h2>
$\"In-game$
The updates see the addition of a new braking feature and more routes. – Rouvy<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>
To improve the realism of Rouvy, the app is introducing ‘corner braking’ this autumn.<\/p>
The feature will automatically adjust your speed as you enter and exit corners. As you pedal out of a bend, your speed will increase, which is said to create a more authentic riding experience.\u00a0<\/p>
As well as slowing you down, the feature may speed you up, with Rouvy removing the previous speed limit of 72kph.\u00a0<\/p>
New routes<\/h2>
It may already have over 40,000km of real-road routes, but Rouvy is expanding its route library.\u00a0<\/p>
You will be able to explore Mallorca, Madagascar, Colombia and Iceland \u2013 and see how you fare climbing the Col du Galibier.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>
