Bots

Last updated

Bots are AI riders you can add to any free ride — someone to sit behind, chase down, or just roll along with. They're a free-ride feature, so they won't show up in races or group rides.

Find them in the menu under Ride → Bots.

Modes

  • None — No bots.
  • Companions — A small group that rides at your side and waits for you. No racing, just company.
  • Gran Fondo — A varied field scattered along the road ahead, already out riding when you arrive.
  • Race — A full-field mass start alongside you, holding at the line until your ride clock starts. Choose from 5 difficulty levels, which can be changed mid-ride.

Reading the field

Every bot is its own rider with a unique blend of strengths, so no two ride quite the same. Their jersey hints at their tendencies:

  • Green — Sprinter: fast on the flats, weaker on long climbs
  • Orange — Climber: strong on sustained grades, weaker in a sprint
  • Blue — Rouleur: a well-rounded all-rounder
  • Purple — Puncher: aggressive on short, sharp hills
  • Light blue — Domestique: a steady group rider

These are tendencies, not rigid types.

Performance

Larger fields (Gran Fondo, Race) put more riders on screen and can affect performance on older devices. If a ride feels choppy, try a smaller preset or lower your graphics settings.
