Rouvy - worth the bother for virtual rides?

[DR ◣◢]

Choose pricing in CZK - the discount code might not work, but it's only R100 a month. :-S 

 

No go. Thanks though. 

 

Going to hit the 14 day trial and see. Not expensive at all.

What's the monthly fee for rouvy (converted, with vat etc)?

 

zwift is getting stupid expensive with the current exchange rate

I used the yearly fee, paid last year and worked out to just over R100 per month but choose their currency it works out cheaper

R210.06 on Rouvy Premium month to month.  (In effect for three family members, R70 pppm )

Has anyone found a solution with Rouvy and using an Apple Watch. 

 

With Zwift the watch pairs to the companion app and it works perfectly. 

[Dexter-morgan]

Just got an e-mail about new pricing, also 15-USD if you go month to month, but they will keep your current pricing if you don't let your membership expire.

And Ant + is finally coming next week on Beta for Rouvy AR. About time!!

[Dexter-morgan]

Good morning All, who would be keen for another race sometime next week? something flat like Canyonville in Rouvy AR.

[LongDonkey]

Wednesday? 19:00?

Now they have ANT+ it is much better.

Keen to see what the draughting effect is like. If i can keep up.

Switched to Rouvy from Zwift. Got a little over the "Sims 6: Cycling Ediition" feel and gamification of it. We are also two people in the house that use Kickr so it made more sense from a financial point fo view too. 

 

Bought a Tickr strap to get past the issue of HRM not working with the Apple Watch. 

 

Super happy.

Am I right: Rouvy asks $10/month (cuurent special) for up to 3 family members? We are in my family currently 3 riders, each with their own trainer/PC combo. And for each of us I am paying a separate subscription to Tacx for their Tacx desktop app. It sounds like Rouvy is a LOT cheaper? Or am I mssing some fine print somewhere? That is often the case. I have never ridden/used Rouvy so not sure how it compares/competes with Tacx. Please let's just ignore boring Zwift.

Yes, that is correct and if you do it now, you will stay on that plan.

It is currently $10pm (if you do an annual subscription), or $12pm otherwise, for the subscription which allows sharing.

The pricing changes 1st Oct, to $15 I think, but if you subscribe now and don't let it lapse, you'll stay on the lower amount.

 

Currently I have two people sharing added on my account. They each have their own account registered, then under the main account you just add them under Family Sharing.

Wow...Not sure if someone can answer (apologies but these are features Tacx offers):

1. Are their videos 1080P?

2. What does a certified video mean?

3. Their webpage link for viewing the catalogue for AR routes does not work. Is thsi feature only available on selected routes?

4. If for example my son and I ride the same route at the same time each on their own trainer/PC will we see each other in real time and have a go at each other (sort of a race)?

5. Can you download the videos or is it streaming only?

6. Does it automatically upload to Strava?

7. Has anyone have experience on Tacx Desktop App and Rouvy and give a comparison view?

8. Are there enough routes to cover all facets of training (not just pure climbing routes all the time)?

9. Are the routes decent distances (i.e. at least 30km and more)?
