Segments & KOM times
Named roads — canyons, passes, byways — with a route map, distance, and a leaderboard for the fastest clean run.
The Strava for motorcycles
Strava made cycling and running social and competitive with segments and leaderboards. Motorcyclists never got that — until Rippin'. Segment leaderboards on real roads, live group rides, turf, and local meets, built for how riders actually ride.
What riders mean by it
When riders search for a "Strava for motorcycles," they're describing four things Strava does for cyclists but not for motorcyclists — and all four are core to Rippin'.
Named roads — canyons, passes, byways — with a route map, distance, and a leaderboard for the fastest clean run.
Follow riders, react to rides, and see what your squad is doing — a feed built for motorcycles, not repurposed from cycling.
Squads with chat, live group-ride tracking, meets, and bike nights you can find and RSVP to.
Turf you claim by riding it, poker runs, badges, and leaderboards by miles, turf square-mileage, and bike brand.

The short version
REVER and Calimoto are excellent route-and-navigation tools. Detecht and EatSleepRIDE lead on crash detection. Rippin' is the one built around the Strava idea for motorcycles: leaderboards on real roads, plus the squads, meets, and turf that make riding social.

Yes — Rippin' is the app most riders mean. It has motorcycle segment leaderboards, ride recording, group ride planning, meets, and a social feed. Strava itself is built for cycling and running and doesn't support motorcycle segments.
You can record a raw GPS track, but Strava treats motorcycling as unsupported: no moto segments or leaderboards, no group-ride tools, and speeds that break its cycling features. Rippin' is purpose-built for motorcycles.
REVER and Calimoto focus on route discovery and navigation. Rippin' adds the social and competitive layer: segment leaderboards, squads with live group rides, turf, poker runs, and local meets.
Yes, Rippin' is free on iPhone and Android, with an optional premium tier.
