Compatible FTMS trainers
Bought a smart trainer and looking for an app that is just the workout? zCycle Pad pairs over Bluetooth using FTMS on iPhone and iPad, with Apple Watch for live watts and controls. No laptop. No virtual world.
How compatibility works
We do not certify every SKU. We speak the same Bluetooth protocol most modern indoor trainers use. If your trainer advertises FTMS, zCycle can read power, cadence, and speed, and drive resistance for ERG mode and grade simulation.
Lab tested: Elite Suito T — FTMS power, cadence, speed, ERG, grade sim.
Download zCycle Pad on the App Store · zCycle Plus is $4.99/month or $39.99/year, with a 7-day trial on monthly.

zCycle vs ZYCLE hardware
zCycle Pad is an iOS app by Adam Codes Ltd. ZYCLE (zycle.eu) is a different company that makes indoor cycling hardware. If a ZYCLE trainer speaks Bluetooth FTMS, zCycle Pad can pair to it like any other FTMS trainer. We are not affiliated with ZYCLE.
Will my trainer work?
Put the trainer in Bluetooth / FTMS / third-party app mode. Open zCycle Pad, scan, and tap the trainer. If it does not appear, email [email protected] with the exact model.
