CrankBeat presents an app for controlling a smart trainer’s resistance like a spin bike.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-27 issue.

For: Smart-trainer owners who want spin-class-style rides
Worth noticing: Its three-step pitch is unusually plain: connect, adjust resistance with plus or minus, then spin.

Field notes

The page frames the product as a different job for the same trainer: Zwift may be why someone bought it, while CrankBeat is pitched for a simpler spin session. Its displayed control mockup shows a connected trainer at 42% resistance with plus and minus buttons. Visitors can read the explanation without an account, but the page directs them to sign in or create one to start a ride.
