Hey Wattbikers,
Great news is here for all of you who love your Wattbikes. Hot on the heels of the earlier announcement of the integration with ROUVY rides and races via ROUVY AR, full integration has now been extended to ROUVY WORKOUTS as well. With the latest firmware update for the Wattbike Atom, both BLE and ANT+ protocols now work reliably with both the ROUVY apps.
A reminder that only ‘Wattbike Atom’, ‘Wattbike AtomX’ and ‘next generation Atom’ are “smart” which means the app will control the bike, in comparison to the Wattbike Nucleus and WattbikePro/Trainer which are not smart bikes.

To connect your Wattbike to ROUVY WORKOUTS and have access to over 10,000 workouts with FTP/Ramp tests and TrainingPeaks integration, fun ROUVY video guides, make sure you have the latest firmware for your Wattbike and disconnect any other apps that might be connected. Then follow the steps below:
-> Download ROUVY WORKOUTS here.
-> Install, launch, login (ROUVY account works across all ROUVY apps).
-> Go to “Settings”, choose “Trainers & sensors”, click “Select trainer”, scroll down to “Other”, click/tap on this menu
Then choose “General FTMS or ANT+ trainer” if you are an owner of the Wattbike Atom or AtomX (or “General power meter” for the non-smart one).
Now you should be connected and ready to workout (if you have other sensors like HR, connect them in the same way as in the first “Trainers & sensors” tab). To locate all the available workouts, use the ‘Search’ tab in the “All workouts” menu.
