Your Cyclist Score and rider type

At the top of your Body page sit two headline numbers: your Cyclist Score and your rider type. Together they answer "how strong am I overall?" and "what kind of rider am I?"

Your Cyclist Score

The Cyclist Score is a 0–100 summary of your overall ability as a rider, built from your power curve — your best efforts across durations — relative to your body weight. It's the quickest single read on where you stand, and watching it climb over a season is one of the most satisfying charts in the app.

Your rider type

Alongside the score, Pedal Pulse shows your rider label: Sprinter, Puncheur, Diesel, Climber, or All-Rounder. It's decided by the shape of your power curve — where your standout strength lies relative to your own threshold power, ranked against the whole Pedal Pulse community. For the full story of what each type means and how the label is decided (including why yours might change), see our guide: Rider labels: what your rider type means and how it's decided.

Why weight matters (and what to do if you see "Add weight")

Your Cyclist Score is built on watts per kilogram, so the app can't calculate it without a weight. Weight also settles one rider-type distinction — whether a strong sustained-power rider is a Climber or a Diesel. If you see an "Add weight" prompt, that's all that's missing: add your weight to your profile (or connect a health app that provides it) and your score will appear. It's a one-minute fix.

2. Your Cyclist Score and rider type are right at the top, next to your Compound Score

Improving your score

The Cyclist Score reflects your power curve, so it improves the same way your riding does: hard efforts across a range of durations, consistent training, and keeping your weight up to date so the W/kg maths reflects reality. Because it's built from recent best efforts, it rewards what you can do now — not what you did last summer.
