ROUVY, the indoor cycling app which lets you ride real routes around the world, has announced a partnership with high-end bike manufacturer Festka to bring their world-renowned bikes onto the platform. From today until 17th September (the end of the 2023 La Vuelta a España), riders can hop aboard their very own Festka Spectre and use it to ride not only a selection of stages of the race, but also head to some of the most iconic climbs and routes around the world.
For the duration of La Vuelta, ROUVY users can head to their virtual garage and select the superbike for free, after which the bike will be available for purchase by using riders’ virtual currency.
“Riding on an indoor trainer has never been more enjoyable. Rouvy's acclaimed innovative approach and attention to detail virtually reduce the difference between indoor training and riding outside, moving the former onto another level. The chance to test ride a unique bike in Rouvy's augmented reality environment is an opportunity that would be a pity to miss.” - Michael Moureček (CEO of Festka)
“I am thrilled about this partnership with Festka, a true pioneer in premium custom bicycles. This collaboration brings together ROUVY’s advanced virtual cycling experience and Festka’s exceptional craftsmanship. It’s a unique moment where technology and artistry meet.” - Petr Samek (CEO of ROUVY)
The inclusion of the bike in the platform is the latest in a series of collaborative activities between ROUVY and Festka. In addition, the bike has been used in ROUVY’s latest TV advertisement as the brand seeks to grow its user base and bring the reality of outdoor riding into riders’ homes.
ROUVY. Keep Going.
