Every nav app was built for cars,
then sold to riders.
We chase the curves. So we built routing, stops, and group tools around how motorcyclists actually ride.
Scenic routing
Our algorithm scores roads by corner density and elevation change. The “best” route isn’t the fastest one — it’s the one worth riding.
Rider-grade POIs
Gas with motorcycle parking. Restaurants where you can keep an eye on your bike. Lodging that gets it — all verified by people who actually ride.
Group rides that work
Real-time location sharing, planned waypoints, and regroup signals. Nobody gets left at a gas station — and nobody rides off the back alone.
Earn permanent badges
for the roads you conquer.
No other app has it. Ride a legendary road, log the miles, finish the challenge — and it becomes a badge in a trophy case you keep forever. Tied to a real social graph, kudos, and your rider profile.
Ride with our partners.
Events, clubs, creators and brands mint their own collectible Switchback badge — ride with one and earn a violet Partner medal for your Trophy Case.

The route that scores
highest on fun.
Most apps optimize for time. Switchback weighs every road segment for the things riders actually care about — then hands you the route a car would never pick.
Corner density
Each segment is scored by how many curves it packs per mile, weighted by radius. Tighter and more frequent ranks higher.
Elevation & views
Climbs, ridgelines, and overlooks add to the score. Flat and straight gets you there; elevation makes it a ride.
Avoids the boring
Interstates, city sprawl, and stoplight corridors are penalized. You get back roads, not bypasses.
Free to start.
Pro for the obsessed.
Community and core badges stay free, forever. Pay only for the power features that earn their keep.
