4iiii Integrates Apple Find My Technology with Power Meters and Unveils New ‘Ride’ Watch App

4iiii, who you’ll likely know for their power meter innovations, has launched its Precision 3+ power meter, which includes integration with Apple technology to be the world’s first power meter with Find My capabilities. This is supported by a new companion app called ‘Ride.’

If you’re a hundred years old, like us, here’s what it means: they’ve launched a good, new power meter, and this power meter can be located from your phone if your bike gets stolen or you just forget where you left it in your palatial mansion.

The Integration of Apple Find My Technology

4iiii has made a significant leap forward by integrating Apple Find My technology directly into their new PRECISION+ power meter platform. This integration is now available on the PRECISION 3+, allowing cyclists to effortlessly track their bicycle’s location using their Apple devices. Leveraging Apple’s vast network of over 1.5 billion users, cyclists can have peace of mind whether they are at home or on the go. This integration represents a significant step towards a more connected and smarter cycling experience.

PRECISION+ Power Meter – Leading the Way

The PRECISION+ power meter comes with real-time Terrain Auto-Optimizing, an innovative feature developed to ensure optimal performance and unwavering accuracy across any riding surface. The power meter uses an accelerometer for smooth steady-state cruising and automatically switches to the gyroscope when riding on rough terrain, gravel, or during high RPM sprints. This allows the PRECISION power meters to offer industry-leading battery life and accuracy. Additionally, 4iiii’s core values ensure the platform is continuously updated and improved to provide riders with the latest innovative features.

Introducing the ‘Ride’ Companion Watch App

Accompanying the PRECISION+ power meter is the newly unveiled ‘Ride’ companion watch app. This app is designed to offer cyclists another convenient way to track and analyze their performance. With Bluetooth connectivity, it seamlessly integrates with fitness sensors such as non-drive side and dual power meters and heart rate monitors like 4iiii’s Viiiiva, as well as most other manufacturers’ devices. Cyclists can now view workout statistics, live heart rate, power, speed, cadence, and distance directly on their watch.

Seamless Data Syncing and Sharing

The ‘Ride’ app makes tracking rides a breeze by uploading comprehensive ride statistics, including GPS routes, in .FIT and Apple Fitness files. Furthermore, it is natively configured as part of the Apple Health Kit, allowing riders to track their activity, calories burned, and close their daily activity rings. The app also supports auto-sync to Strava, facilitating automatic workout sharing and enhancing the social aspect of cycling. With the ‘Ride’ app, cyclists no longer need a conventional head unit; their watch can now capture all key information, whether they’re on the road, gravel, or in the mountains.

Vision for the Future

Phil White, President, and CEO of 4iiii, expressed his enthusiasm about the integration, saying, “We wanted to do more than just release another power meter. With the addition of Find My integration and seamless use with Apple devices, the PRECISION+ platform really shows where we can go with this technology as bikes (and their users) get smarter and more connected.”

Eric Gerstenbuhler, Director of Global Operations, Sales, and Marketing for 4iiii, shared a similar sentiment, stating, “The best innovations are the ones that simplify, not complicate. By extending the functionality of our app, riders can integrate with the tech they’re already wearing to have a convenient way to view, track, and analyze their rides.”

Availability and How to Get Started

The PRECISION 3+ Powermeter, featuring Apple Find My, is now available for purchase as Ride Ready on Shimano cranks or can be integrated into existing cranks as part of 4iiii’s Factory Install program. Additionally, the PRECISION 3+ PRO Powermeter will be available soon on Ultegra and Dura Ace dual sets. As for the ‘Ride’ companion watch app, it is currently available for free download in the App Store and can be accessed through the 4iiii app.

The End

The integration of Apple Find My technology with power meters and the introduction of the ‘Ride’ companion watch app by 4iiii Innovations Inc. mark an exciting development in the world of cycling. With seamless tracking and analysis capabilities, as well as enhanced connectivity, cyclists can now enjoy a more enriched and informed riding experience.
