What is MyRacing Pulse?
Pulse is the telemetry recorder of the MyRacing platform, on iOS and Android. It rides with you, records your laps and shows live times on the bike, then uploads each session to MyRacing Pro, the telemetry analysis side, where it becomes your racing line, braking points and the mistakes named corner by corner. Together they form one telemetry system; you get both with Rider Pro.
How is Pulse different from the MyRacing app?
Two apps, one telemetry system. MyRacing (web, iOS and Android) is the analysis: sessions, analytics, tracks, garage and the AI Racing Coach. Pulse is the recorder — it captures telemetry on the bike and creates a session for MyRacing Pro to read. Deliberately separate: Pulse records, MyRacing Pro analyses.
What do I need to run it?
Your phone — Pulse lives on it and records with the phone's own sensors at around 5 Hz. For racing-grade precision, connect an external GPS receiver over USB and record at 25 Hz. The phone is always the recorder; the receiver is the upgrade, and it needs Android (USB-C). Phone-only recording works on both iOS and Android. Sector times appear on tracks with sector lines set — draw your own in the track editor.
Does it work without network signal?
Yes. Everything records locally on your phone at the track — no coverage needed. When you're back online, one tap uploads the session to MyRacing Pro.
Is Pulse an analysis app?
Deliberately not. Pulse captures; MyRacing Pro analyses. Keeping them separate means each does its job properly. You get both with Rider Pro.
Is Pulse included in my plan?
The Pulse app is free to download. Recording runs on a MyRacing Rider Pro plan — €4.59/month, one account shared with the MyRacing web and mobile apps — which also gives you the AI Racing Coach, Analytics, Race Ready and mechanic collaboration. See the plans page for the full comparison.
Do I need a dedicated logger or extra hardware?
No. MyRacing Pulse records the whole lap on the phone you already own, using its GPS and motion sensors. Optional kit adds precision or another channel: an external USB GPS receiver for 25 positions a second, a Bluetooth OBD-II adapter for engine data, a heart-rate strap, a GoPro. Each is bought separately and none of it is required.
Which tracks does it work on?
Ride an official circuit from the list, or add your own track. You draw the start/finish line on the map yourself, and laps then detect automatically. Add your own sector lines and you get sector times too.
What do I actually get after a session?
MyRacing Pro reads the session and gives you your racing line to play back, every braking zone measured, each marked corner ranked by the time it costs with the fault named, corner-by-corner numbers for every lap, sector splits, a theoretical best and an ideal lap, and your session as a workout. With an OBD adapter, engine channels sit under the speed trace.
Can I share a session with someone?
Yes. A session can be shared with a friend or a coach, who can open it and compare their own laps against yours: braking points, apex speed and throttle opening at any point on the track.
Can Pulse record my heart rate?
Yes, over Bluetooth. Chest straps and sport watches from Polar, Garmin, Wahoo and Google Fitbit all work, including the Fitbit Air. Pulse logs your heart rate lap by lap, and MyRacing Pro shows the average and maximum for the session.
Can Pulse record engine data from my motorcycle?
Yes, with a compatible Bluetooth OBD-II adapter of the ELM327 class, such as UniCarScan. Pulse records the ECU alongside the GPS, and how much it gets depends on what your motorcycle shares: typically RPM, throttle, temperatures and more. Those channels are drawn under the racing line in MyRacing Pro.
Does Pulse control my GoPro?
Yes, for a HERO9 Black and newer. Pulse starts and stops the camera with your session and drops a HiLight tag at every lap and sector crossing, so the moments worth rewatching are already marked when you open the footage.
Can I replay my lap in 3D?
Yes. The racing line plays back in 2D or 3D. In 3D you follow the lap from the saddle, from behind the motorcycle or from above, on a modelled circuit that carries its real elevation, with speed, lean and G travelling with you — and revs, throttle and temperatures too when an OBD adapter is connected. The 2D map, the traces and the rest of the session analysis work on any track you ride.
Can I compare two laps?
Yes. Pick any two laps from your history, from today or from months apart, and see both laps’ speed, lean, braking G and heart rate at any point on the track, with a gain and loss curve along the whole lap and the same gap coloured onto the racing line.
