Always free

Free for riders, powered by smart data

RiderShield is free to use. We keep it that way by using anonymized riding and location data to power better crash support, smarter gear offers and new insurance options — not by selling your identity or charging subscriptions.

Data goes into better safety insights and more rider-friendly insurance products.

Offers are for gear and upgrades that fit your bikes and riding style, not random ads.

You control what's linked to your account, and we don't sell personally identifiable information.

Privacy & data policy

For partners

Built for riders first. Open to partners second.

RiderShield exists to make rides better for riders: more connected, safer and less of a hassle with insurance and gear. Partners plug into that — not the other way around.

No paywall for riders. The app is free. Riders get group rides, events, comms, navigation, crash data and garage tools without a subscription.

Data with a purpose. The ride and sensor data we collect goes into better crash support, smarter safety insights and fairer insurance options.

Real deals, not random ads. When we show offers, they're for gear and upgrades that match your bikes, your mileage and your style.

If you're an insurer or brand that wants to reward good riding, speed up claims and offer genuinely useful gear to real riders, we'd like to talk.
