How are the heart rate zones calculated?
The effort zones are defined as follows:
Zone 1: < 60% * max heart rate
Zone 2: 60%-70% * max heart rate
Zone 3: 70%-80% * max heart rate
Zone 4: 80-90% * max heart rate
Zone 5: >90% * max heart rate
Your max heart rate is estimated based on your age and gender.

Missing heart rate data
It is normal to experience a slight delay before your heart rate appears on your ride dashboard. We also do not control how frequently your heart rate data updates.
If you are certain that your heart rate was displayed during your ride, but it does not appear in your ride history, please contact our support team through our in-app chat.
