Launching today is Strava’s latest feature for cyclists. The helpful performance data Strava offers is one of the reasons we include the app as one of the best running apps on Tom's Guide. Leveraging the success of its Best Efforts feature for runners, Strava's latest update expands the app’s potential for cyclists by introducing Best Efforts for Ride. The new feature is available exclusively for Strava subscribers and will be able to view from your athlete’s 'You' page on the Strava mobile app.
According to research conducted by Strava, an impressive 77% of cyclists achieved a Best Effort in 2023, with 33% already hitting milestones in February of this year and now riders can access Best Efforts data to continue reaching and recording their achievements. The feature will enhance the existing Best Efforts experience by adding new categories such as distance, cumulative elevation gain, biggest single climbs, power, and time for relevant intervals.
