Record the complete ride
GPS route, speed, elevation, moving time, and detailed ride summaries stay together.
BikeNet 2.1 is here — the bike finally joins the ride
BikeNet 2.1 is more than a GPS recorder. It connects your rides, bike, components, service history, sensors, and drivetrain in one complete cycling platform.
Build the bike in your Stable. Connect its sensors. Record the route. Remember its service history. And when you ride NXS, see the shifts and gears behind the effort. BikeNet 2.1 brings all of it together in one new app, shaped by real rides and rider feedback.
Free to download and use. No subscription.
BikeNet 2.1 is available now on iOS and Android.
Discover the new BikeNet 2.1
From the bike in your garage to the route you take home, BikeNet 2.1 connects bike inventory, navigation, ride recording, history, sensors, and device tools.
GPS route, speed, elevation, moving time, and detailed ride summaries stay together.
Pair standard BLE speed, cadence, heart-rate, and power sensors directly to the phone. With NXS, the motor provides the hardware layer that brings ANT+ sensor data into BikeNet.
Keep every bike, photo, component, specification, setup detail, and service record organized.
Create routes, save favorite destinations, and use on-bike navigation.
Cloud sync makes bikes and rides available on another phone and through the BikeNet customer portal.
Upload the activity to Strava while BikeNet keeps the shifting and gear analysis Strava does not support. Export GPX, FIT, and CSV files anytime.
BikeNet 2.1 vs. other bike computers
Dedicated bike computers and cycling apps can be excellent at recording, navigation, sensors, and training. BikeNet 2.1 does those core ride jobs while making the bicycle itself part of the system.
Bike profiles, wheelsets, cassettes, service history, and ride data stay connected. Add NXS and BikeNet also understands the drivetrain, with native setup, diagnostics, shift events, gear use, and per-gear analysis.

BikeNet 2.1 is open-ended
BikeNet 2.1 is designed for riders using mechanical drivetrains, AXS, Di2, or NXS. Standard BLE sensors will provide speed, cadence, heart rate, and power directly to the phone where available.
When NXS is present, it can add native shift events, gear usage, per-gear ride metrics, gear-colored routes, and ANT+ sensor connectivity.
The honest distinction
BikeNet 2.1 works without NXS. NXS makes it extraordinary.Ride, route, Stable, BLE sensor, cloud, and export tools are available without NXS. Add NXS for connected drivetrain setup and shifting insights.
