Five tabs, one ride.
Planning a ride today means a maps app that doesn’t know what gravel is, a forum thread for the road notes, a fitness tracker convinced you jogged 240 kilometres, a weather tab, and a service reminder you wrote in your phone and never opened again. RideForge is one place, shaped around how adventure and touring riders actually plan, ride, and look back on a trip.
Everything the ride needs, in one place.
Planning, navigation, tracking, safety, and the garage log — designed together, so nothing has to be stitched back together when you get home.
Plan the line, not the shortcut
Draw a route by hand, import a GPX, or start from one another rider logged. Tell it you want gravel, elevation, or the long way round — it stops routing you onto the motorway.
Navigation you can read at 80 km/h
Big type, high contrast, one instruction at a time. Designed to be glanced at from a bar mount with gloves on, not read like a map.
Works where signal doesn't
Download the map region before you leave. Routing, tracking, and your roadbook keep working with the phone in airplane mode.
Tracking that starts itself
Distance, elevation, moving time, and stops, logged from the moment you pull away. Nothing to remember, nothing to tap.
Weather along the route, not overhead
Conditions at each leg and each altitude, so you know the pass is icing over before you commit to the climb.
Group rides on one map
Everyone's position, live, on the same route. Regroup points, a shared ETA, and no one left guessing at the last junction.
A garage that remembers
Per-bike service intervals for chain, oil, tyres, and brakes, counted against real logged mileage instead of a note in your phone.
Range you can trust
Set your tank range and RideForge flags the stretch where the next fuel is further than you can reach. Plan the reserve, not the panic.
The ride writes its own story
Photos drop onto the route where you took them. At the end you have a ride report worth keeping — post it, or don't.
Roads you'd never have found
Passes, fire roads, and detours other riders have already ridden and rated nearby. The best route usually isn't the one you know.
Somebody should know where you are.
The best roads are the ones nobody else is on. RideForge is being built so that riding them alone doesn’t mean riding them unaccounted for.
Incident detection
If the phone reads a hard impact and you don't cancel the prompt, RideForge alerts your emergency contact with your last known position.
Live share with one person
Send a single link to someone at home. They see where you are and where you're headed — no account, no app, no group chat.
Check-in timer
Riding alone? Set an expected arrival. Miss it without checking in and your contact is notified with your route and last ping.
Off by default, on when you choose
Location sharing is per-ride and expires on its own. Nothing broadcasts until you switch it on for that ride.
These alerts travel over the mobile network to a contact you choose. RideForge is not a satellite beacon and is not an emergency service. If you ride genuinely remote terrain, carry a dedicated beacon as well — this is meant to sit alongside one, never to replace it.
Four steps, whether it's a Sunday loop or a two-week crossing.
The shape of a ride doesn't change with its length. RideForge is built around that shape rather than around a dashboard.
Set up the bike
Add your machine, its tank range, and the surfaces you're willing to ride. Every route it plans after that respects those answers.
Build the route
Draw it, import a GPX, or take one from the community library. Download the region before you go.
Ride it
Navigation on the bars, tracking in the background, contact notified if you asked for that. The phone stays in your pocket.
Keep the ride
The log, the elevation, the photos, and the notes assemble themselves into a ride report. Share it or keep it.

Plan the line
Drop waypoints, import a GPX, or start from a route someone else logged. Tell it you want gravel and it stops steering you onto the motorway.
You already do all of this. Just across five apps.
Nothing here is impossible today — it's just spread across a maps app, a forum tab, a fitness tracker, a weather widget, and a note to yourself. That's the problem RideForge is built to close.

Built for motorcycles, not repurposed from running
Tank range, surface type, gear, service intervals, and pass elevations are first-class ideas here — not fields bolted onto a fitness tracker.
One app instead of five browser tabs
Planning, navigation, tracking, safety, community, and the garage log live together, so the ride doesn't get stitched back together afterwards.
Your location is yours
Ride data is the product's substance, not its business model. Sharing is opt-in per ride, and we don't sell location data to anyone.
What's built, what's queued, what's still a plan.
Pre-launch pages usually list everything as if it already exists. This one doesn't. Here is the honest state of the three stages — the order is the plan, and it can move.
