Velosolutions Launches the Vorld App

Velosolutions has officially launched its ‘Vorld’ app, a new platform designed to precisely measure lap times on their extensive network of pump tracks. This innovation, which Velosolutions states has been nine years in the making, aims to eliminate the need for riders to purchase or utilise traditional transponders, offering an accessible, integrated timing solution directly through a smartphone application.

This development is significant given Velosolutions' global footprint in pump track construction, making them a de facto standard in the burgeoning urban cycling and action sports scene. The Vorld app could democratise performance tracking, removing a common barrier to entry for casual riders and potentially fostering a more competitive, data-driven environment for local events. For a company whose business model relies on the popularity and engagement with its physical infrastructure, an app that enhances the user experience is a shrewd move.

Ultimately, Velosolutions has delivered on a long-standing promise. Whether the Vorld app truly achieves "precision without transponders" remains to be seen, but the convenience factor alone might just be enough to get riders off the couch and onto the track.
