Coming soon to MTB Project

Be prepared for when the ride goes wrong.

Two new safety features: an offline pocket mechanic, and professional rescue coordination when things go really wrong.

Frank Selker โ€” Morton, WA

A professional rescue team, one message away.

MTB Project connects you to Overwatch x Rescue (OxR), a global emergency response organization.

On the trail today

  • Cell service disappears exactly where trails get remote, and a bad crash there means you're on your own.
  • Calling for help can mean an ambulance or helicopter bill you didn't see coming.

What our SOS covers

  • A trained coordinator assesses your situation, dispatches the right responders to your coordinates and stays engaged until help arrives.
  • Eligible rescue and evacuation costs are paid directly. No claims process, no surprise bills.

Coming next ยท Trailside

A mechanic in your pocket, even off the grid.

Offline-first, voice-first mechanical help โ€” not for emergencies, but for the flats and bent hangers that end a ride early.

What ends a ride today

  • A bent derailleur hanger or bad shifting issues ends the ride, even when the fix could be simple.
  • You're out of signal, so looking up a repair video isn't an option.

How Trailside gets you moving again

  • Works fully offline. Describe what's wrong by voice, and it walks you through diagnosis.
  • Step-by-step field fix instructions, or a bail recommendation for really bad issues.
Trailside Offline ยท Diagnosing
What's going on?
My shifting got really weird after I dropped the bike on a rock. Chain's in the middle gear and the lever won't pull.
Got it โ€” dropped bike plus stuck shifter points at a bent derailleur hanger. Can you see the derailleur from behind the bike?
Yeah, I'm looking at it.
Is the cage โ€” the two pulleys โ€” hanging roughly vertical like a pendulum, or angled in toward the spokes?
It's leaning in toward the spokes a little.
Diagnosis ยท Bent derailleur hanger, field-fixable. One more check before we fix.

Questions

What you're probably wondering.

Is the SOS insurance?
No. It's an emergency assistance subscription, not an insurance policy. Overwatch x Rescue directly manages and pays eligible rescue costs on your behalf.
Does the SOS work outside cell service?
Yes. Compatible devices use cellular or satellite messaging to connect with OxR โ€” including an iPhone 14+ on iOS 18.5+, eligible Android satellite plans, or a linked Garmin inReach, SPOT X or ZOLEO.
When does Trailside ship?
Trailside is landing after onX SOS. Sign up above to get notified when it's ready to try.
Who's behind this?
Built by the riders behind MTB Project and onX, with onX SOS powered by Overwatch x Rescue.
