New: Character Builder
Your rider, your colours.
Design the rider you see on every ride: your build and hair, your kit, your helmet, your bike, and your wheels, previewed on a 3D rider as you go. Other riders see your character on eRoutes, on the track, and in Group Rides.
Free to design for everyone. Cave Crew members save up to 10 characters.
In the builder
Every part of your rider, in six tabs.
Pick a colour and the 3D rider wears it straight away.
Rider
Three builds (climber, rouleur, sprinter), hair, skin tone, eye colour, and stubble.
Jersey and kit
Jersey patterns and colours, sleeves and sides, the Ride Cave logo, bibs, socks, shoes, and gloves.
Helmet
Shell, graphic, and vent colours, with sunglasses on or off.
Bike and wheels
Frame colours in gloss or matte, bar tape, saddle, and rim and decal colours.
Any colour
A palette of kit colours tuned for the world, a custom colour picker, and zones that match each other until you split them.
Randomize, undo, redo
Roll a new look in one tap, step back through every change, or start again from a default rider.
Everywhere you ride
Ride as you.
On every eRoute, track, and Group Ride.
Your current character is the rider you see in the 3D world, in the velodrome, and on the start line of a Group Ride. The riders around you see it too.
- Switch characters any time from the builder or Settings
- Six default riders, free for everyone, if you would rather not design one
- Preview your rider by day or by night, from the chase view, three quarter, side, or close up

- Rename, duplicate, or delete from the character list

XP and levels
Level up as you train.
Every ride, run, row, race, skill, and synced activity earns XP, and the builder opens as you climb: everything by Level 3. Then keep going, from Cave Rookie to Cavern Legend.
Earn XP for training
XP for every 10 minutes you ride, a bonus for Group Rides, and more for races, skills, coins, and your weekly streak.
Eight cave levels
Four gems mark the way down, from quartz to diamond. See your level and what each one unlocks in Settings.
Level 1 and 2
Your rider, every jersey pattern, the helmet and sunglasses from day one. The bike, wheels, a bottle and tan wall tyres at Level 2, usually in your first week.
Level 3: the fast bike
Deep carbon rims, disc wheels, metallic, fade and two tone paint, usually within your first month of riding.
Weekly streaks
Hit your weekly target and earn bonus XP that grows the longer your streak runs.
Synced rides count
Outdoor rides and runs from Garmin, Strava, Wahoo, and Intervals.icu earn XP too.
Cave Crew
Save it, keep it, wear it everywhere.
Up to 10 characters
Save the riders you design and switch between them any time. Ride as them on every eRoute, track, and Group Ride.
