How do I pair my ANT+ equipment?

To pair your ANT+ device(s):

  • Ensure your ANT+ USB stick is in your computer before you launch the game. Ideally, put it on a USB extension cable and locate it near your trainer and off the floor to prevent dropouts.
  • Make sure that your trainer or other equipment is powered on and awake. Some devices may not turn on and connect until you start pedaling the bike.
  • In the Pairing Wizard screen the first time, select your Move Method, Control Methods, and Bio Monitors, clicking on Remember & Skip after each step to bypass the wizard the next time.  You can always reset these choices if you go to the Home Screen, hover over the Move, Monitor, Control section in the bottom left, and click on the Forget button.  You can even pair your devices on the Home Screen by clicking on the selected device under the Move, Monitor, and Control sections. Remembered devices from your last ride will be auto-selected the next time.

To play an activity after you pair your device(s):

  • On the Home Screen, click on Play Now and choose an activity type from Smash Cups, Events (scheduled), Rides, Time Trials, or Workouts.
  • Click Join on an Activity Tile.
  • From the loading page (Info/Lobby screen), click Join Ride to enter the activity.
  • If devices are paired, you'll enter the activity directly.
  • If not paired, the Pairing screen opens.
  • Select the devices you want to Pair and click Join Ride.
  • The game is in continuous scanning mode and will automatically pair up to four types of devices, including Bluetooth (BLE) or ANT+.
