HEART RATE. NOT HORSEPOWER.

Train the zone,
not the number

Zone Pedal adjusts your smart trainer's resistance in real-time to keep your heart rate locked in the target zone. No other app does this.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps. Zero complexity.

01

Connect

Pair your BLE smart trainer and heart rate monitor. One-time setup, automatic reconnection.

02

Set Zone

Choose your target heart rate zone for the session. Or let the training plan decide.

03

Ride

The control loop takes over. Trainer resistance adjusts automatically to keep you locked in zone.

PROTOCOL FIDELITY

The Norwegian 4×4 is prescribed in heart rate.
So why is every app running it in watts?

Power-Based App

HR escapes the zone. Power stays obliviously constant.

Zone Pedal

HR stays in zone. Power adapts to fatigue.

Same protocol. Different execution. Only one is actually a 4×4.

CAPABILITIES

Engineered for the zone

Closed-Loop HR Control

250 watts at minute 5 is a different workout than 250 watts at minute 45. Your heart rate knows the difference—your power meter doesn't. Zone Pedal adjusts resistance continuously as your physiology shifts.

Coyle & Gonzalez-Alonso, 2001

Automated 80/20 Training

Athletes prescribed 80/20 intensity splits actually execute closer to 65/21/14 without real-time feedback. Zone Pedal enforces the distribution that the research says works—polarized training that delivers results.

Esteve-Lanao et al., 2007

Works Offline

Full on-device training engine. No internet required during your ride. Your session never depends on cloud availability or Wi-Fi signal.

Any BLE Trainer

Compatible with any Bluetooth FTMS smart trainer. Tacx, Wahoo, Elite, Saris—if it speaks the protocol, Zone Pedal controls it.
