Enjoy seamless over-the-air synchronization to Bryton Active. Workout data can be automatically synced via WLAN directly from the Rider 860 or via Bluetooth from the device to the Bryton Active App, where progress and graphical analysis can be viewed, and rides can be shared to social media. Additionally using the Bryton Active App, it’s possible to sync and plan workouts, downloads planned trips and much more. Also after simple setup, STRAVA, TrainingPeaks and Selfloops Auto Sync from your Bryton Active account make it easier to share activities and compare with millions.
