Do I need to use the Stages Cycling app while riding the SB200?

Modified on Mon, 5 Oct at 8:50 AM

The SB200 is fully functional on its own, no app required. You can hop on and ride without connecting to anything. However, pairing the bike with the Stages Cycling app can enhance your experience by providing clear, real-time visual feedback and additional ride insights.

Why use the Stages Cycling app?

While optional, the app offers a convenient way to monitor your performance with easy-to-read visual displays. It’s especially helpful if you like tracking your progress or staying within specific training zones.

Key features

When connected, the app allows you to view:

  • Gear position – See which gear you're currently using
  • Gear changes – Displays shifting 
  • Power data – Monitor your output in watts
  • Cadence – Keep an eye on your pedaling speed (RPM)
  • Speed – View your current riding speed
  • Distance – Track how far you've ridden
  • Time – Monitor the duration of your ride

These metrics are displayed in a simple, visual format to help you stay focused during your workout.


Compatibility with other apps

The Stages Cycling app can also be used alongside popular third-party training platforms. You can connect your SB200 to apps such as:

  • Apple Health
  • Strava
  • TrainingPeaks
  • Komoot
  • Ride With GPS
  • TrainerRoad
  • Relive
