A release from indoor training platform, BKOOL, has taken a swipe at its competitor, Zwift, and unveiled a number of new developments.
In the release, BKOOL noted… ‘Just a few days after Zwift announced its price increase, the cycling simulator BKOOL is hitting back with a series of important new features aimed at improving its users’ experience.
‘[These include] the ability to pause and resume activities, a new look for its events and routes in the world’s best races.’
BKOOL notes that its platform features… ‘A huge variety of real-world routes in video and 3D, allowing users to ride any type of route across the world. The ability to pause and resume an activity opens the door to ultra-distance challenges in virtual cycling.’
BKOOL continued… ‘From now on you will be able to define your own itineraries within each BKOOL virtual route, complete the section you want and pause your training to continue collecting kilometres the next day.’
Another of the new features is BKOOL’s new Events section, with a redesigned view in the form of a landing page that allows users to access the stages of each virtual experience more quickly and easily.
Once users enter the BKOOL main menu, all the stages of the three editions of the Virtual Giro d’Italia and the Deutschland Tour are just a click away.
In addition, BKOOL is launching new routes. These include sections of races such as Milano-Sanremo, Milano-Torino, Strade Bianche and Tirreno-Adriatico.
BKOOL meanwhile wants to become a more social platform with an improved community feel, while keeping its differentiating features. One of these is its subscription video spinning class app, which is now called BKOOL Spin Studio.
BKOOL Marketing Director, Ángel Luis Fernández, explained “We changed the name of our spinning app to better define its content.
“BKOOL is the only virtual cycling platform that allows you to enjoy indoor cycling classes, ride any route in the world in the most realistic way, create your own workouts or compete in the velodrome. We offer the most complete indoor cycling experience at the most affordable price on the market.”
In addition, to showcase the variety of its content and benefits, BKOOL has launched a new website, which will continue to operate under the www.bkool.com domain, but with an improved look & feel.
