Road vs Trail vs Gravel: How Riding Style Changes Service
Three disciplines, three completely different wear profiles for the same components.
Trail Hits uses GPS strain to predict when your bike needs service, based on how hard you ride, not just how far.
Also available on Mac with Apple silicon
Built in Bend, Oregon by riders who got tired of guessing.
Real-time health scores powered by strain data. Every component on every bike, with service alerts that match how you actually ride.


Trail Hits is the only bike app that connects to your local shop. Your shop's inspections live in your app. Their service history is your service history. You control what they see, and your bikes get expert eyes on them every visit.

Scan your shop's invite code. You're connected, with toggles that put you in control of what they see.

Every component your shop checked, with their findings, photos, and recommended service, all in your pocket.

Your bike's full component health, the same view your shop sees. No more guessing, no more lost service records.
When your connected shop turns on Service Requests, drop-off stops being a black box. You schedule it, you watch it, you pick it up.

Hub pre-selects every component above 70% wear. You confirm, add photos, hit send. The request lands in your shop's queue with your bike's full history.

Shops publish available drop-off dates plus a customer-facing message (“Bring it in the morning before noon”), visible right inside your request.

Pending → Scheduled → Received → Proposal Ready → Approved → In Service → Completed. Watch your bike move through the shop. No more “is it done yet?” calls.
Free Trail Hits with any participating shop's invite code.
Are you a shop? See Trail Hits Hub →Descents wear your suspension, climbs wear your drivetrain. We track each separately using GPS elevation data.
Connect Strava, Hammerhead Karoo, Garmin Connect, Ride with GPS, or Apple Health and your rides update component wear automatically. You pick which integrations sync. Historical import included.
Get notified when components need attention based on actual strain, not arbitrary mileage thresholds.
Other apps count miles. Trail Hits measures strain.
GPS elevation data separates climbing wear from descent wear. Condition multipliers adjust for mud, wet, and temperature. Your health scores are calculated from real ride data, not guesses.
Stop guessing. Describe what feels wrong, get a specific adjustment to try, ride with it, then record whether it helped. A structured experiment loop that actually dials in your suspension.
The only app built for eBike riders. Assist level multipliers (Eco/Trail/Boost), motor-torque drivetrain wear, and weight-adjusted strain calculations.
Discipline-specific guides on what wears, when to swap, and why mileage rules of thumb get it wrong.
Three disciplines, three completely different wear profiles for the same components.
Hours, miles, or descents? When fork and shock service actually matters.
Motor torque doubles drivetrain load. The chain math for eBike and eMTB riders.
