Iwan Thomas, Olympic medal winner and athlete, is currently using MOTOACTV to support his training regime, “Because I’m training for Sport Relief this year I need to be fitter so I’m glad I’ve got the MOTOACTV to help me out. Part of the challenge involves cycling parts of the UK, so it’s great that I can monitor my training at the same time as being entertained with my favourite music in one piece of kit that I can just mount on the my indoor bike. It’s worked out my training schedule already and I’ve just uploaded my favourite songs so I’m feeling ready to take on all challenges!” 2

“MOTOACTV offers tremendous value and insights to the cycling consumer,” said William Ripley, general manager, Companion Products EMEA, Motorola Mobility UK Ltd. “Our new range of cycling sensors means that cyclists can extract the maximum tracking performance and analysis from their rides, allowing them to train smarter and reach their goals easier.”

Play the Numbers Game

We get it, you love statistics. You’re obsessed with your pace, number of calories burned, miles covered, personal records and fitness facts. MOTOACTV uses Motorola AccuSense™ technology and GPS to ensure measurement accuracy of your performance. Cyclists can even enter their wheel circumference in Bike Profile for improved accuracy.

Your time, distance, speed, heart rate3 and calories burned are all measured, so you can reach your goals faster than ever, and can be uploaded to MOTOACTV.com. Once logged on, you can analyse the performance data tracked by the device and review useful, easy-to-understand charts, tools and programs that help you see your strengths and empowers you to overcome the next challenge.

Sprint. Cycle. Sing.

Your heart’s pumping, your thighs are burning but you’ve hit the wall with five miles to go. You need a serious tune to get you through. MOTOACTV can rock up to 4,000 of your favourite songs whilst tracking your every move. 2 Ultra-portable, you choose the way you want to wear MOTOACTV: strap it on your wrist or arm, clip it to your shirt or mount it on your bike during an outdoor ride.

Your playlist is more than just workout songs: they’re songs that push you to perform at your best. The smart MP3 player learns what tracks motivate you most by measuring your performance against your music and then uses those songs to create your personal high-performance playlist.
