Galaxy Ring went extreme mountain biking with Red Bull

Wearables

The Galaxy Ring had a slow start. Surprisingly so, considering the pre-release hype. But over the past few weeks, the discrete wearable steadily reached more and more markets. Now that availability is expanding, Samsung is finally cooking up new ways to put a brighter spotlight on its first-ever smart ring and promote its capabilities. This week, Samsung announced that the Galaxy Ring went mountain biking during the Red Bull Rampage event.

Red Bull Rampage is the premier freeride mountain biking event, where athletes not only have to compete on two wheels, but their teams have to construct their own tracks from the top of the mountain to the finish line.

Each team had eight days to build lips, lines, and landings required to complete the course, using hand tools and 75 sandbags. With such a tight schedule, the Galaxy Ring played a big role in helping teams assess how much rest their riders needed for optimal performance on race day.

The Galaxy Ring was used by riders to track sleep quality and activity levels and get wellness tips.

Every day, riders received an Energy Score via the Samsung Health app, and teams used the data gathered by the Galaxy Ring to help their riders be in the best condition. Daily Energy SScores were also shared during the Red Bull Rampage broadcast.

One of the things riders loved about the Galaxy Ring was its compact size. Casey Brown said, “I can't believe how much technology they fit into such a small piece of jewelry, which helped inform my recovery. I don't even notice it during my daily activities. […] I can even sleep with it on without noticing it's there.”

Galaxy Ring was accompanied by the Red Bull camera phone

Although the Galaxy Ring was the star of the Red Bull Rampage event for Samsung, it wasn't the only device there.

As you might recall, the Galaxy S24 Ultra became the official Red Bull action camera for 2024, so it's no surprise that the same phone was also used to record key moments during the Red Bull Rampage event. The Galaxy S24 Ultra captured riders with its 100x zoom camera, and according to Samsung, the phone's camera combo performed flawlessly from early morning to late night thanks to the ProVisual Engine.

And lastly, there was another device that joined the Galaxy Ring and Galaxy S24 Ultra at the Red Bull mountain biking event, i.e., the Galaxy Z Flip 6. Athletes relied on the flip phone to capture their practice sessions without tripods using the unique FlexCam feature.
