Ride & progress
During your ride
Make the best use of your limited time with precise, effective training. Track your ride with a Suunto GPS sports watch to see your current speed and distance, and connect it with your power meters* to get information about your effort when on the saddle.
On long rides you can get useful data about your training with 10 km/mi autolaps or by following your power data. Enrich your training with cycling-specific Suunto apps to get additional feedback such as hill gradient.

*Suunto Spartan and Ambit3 watches are compatible with BLE enabled power meters and Ambit2 with ANT+ enabled power meters.
Analyze your rides
Whatever your goal is, by analyzing your rides afterwards you can see if you’re going in the right direction with your training. Suunto Movescount keeps you updated about your hours on bike, ride lengths and average cadence as well as your power and intensity.
Compare your speed and heart rate from different rides or follow up your power curve to track your hardest effort. If you have been riding those long hours in the mountains, you can check the altitude variations graph when cooling off at home.

Improve and compare
Your Suunto GPS watch will inform you when you get stronger and faster on bike. Every time you ride your personal best 10 or 40 km/mi or hit your highest power, it’s recorded on your Movescount account. If you have a competition coming up, you can go back to see if your pace or power has increased as planned.
Go to Suunto Movescount to see how other people are training and compare yourself to others to see how you are doing.
