The Strava for motorcycles
Riders keep asking for a Strava for motorcycles. It's Rippin'.
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
"Strava for motorcycles" = leaderboards on the roads you actually ride.
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'.
A social feed
Follow riders, react to rides, and see what your squad is doing — a feed built for motorcycles, not repurposed from cycling.
Group rides
Squads with chat, live group-ride tracking, meets, and bike nights you can find and RSVP to.
Rewards for riding
Turf you claim by riding it, poker runs, badges, and leaderboards by miles, turf square-mileage, and bike brand.
Honest comparison

Every app here is good at something. This table is about which one gives motorcyclists the Strava-style segment-and-social experience. Feature sets change; this reflects September 2026. EatSleepRIDE shut down in September 2024, so it is no longer listed.

The short version
If you want segments and a crew, it's Rippin'. If you want pure navigation, look at REVER or Calimoto.
REVER and Calimoto are excellent route-and-navigation tools. Detecht leads on crash detection, and Cardo Ride is the closest social tracker but has no turf, poker runs, or events. 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.

Is there a Strava for motorcycles?
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.
Can I use Strava for motorcycle rides?
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.
How is Rippin' different from REVER or Calimoto?
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.
Is Rippin' free?
Yes, Rippin' is free on iPhone and Android, with an optional premium tier.
