Mastering the Velosphere

How to Play

In the Velosphere, you race against the clock to complete a course as quickly as possible. The game is played in 3D space, and you can control your character using your smart trainer, connected via Bluetooth. You can control your altitude and speed by varying your power and cadence.

  • Add power to climb
  • Pedal faster to go forwards faster
  • Maintain a balance between power and cadence to control your flight (using your gears really helps here)
  • If you crash, you will lose time.

🚀 Boost Mode

If your cadence exceeds the boost threshold, you enter Boost mode.

In this mode, your altitude remains locked, and all your extra power (i.e. power above what is required to maintain your current altitude) is used to propel you forward at high speeds instead of being used for climbing. You can use this as a tactical advantage to gain speed on your opponents.

To exit Boost mode and resume normal flight, simply reduce your cadence below the threshold.

The boost threshold is set to 110 RPM by default, and you can change this to suit your riding style in your profile settings.
