Rough pedalling at high resistance?

I’ve just managed to buy a new Neo 2T as a replacement for a Tacx Flow I’ve been using.

Overall it’s really impressive but I’m experiencing one thing that surprises me – at very high resistance and relatively low power, say for example on a 10%+ gradient when the app is simulating 100% difficulty, the pedalling gets really rough and lumpy. All other times it’s nice and smooth.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I'd love to hear someone from Garmin weigh in on this... knowing that it is "normal", if indeed it is, would give me great peace of mind after spending so much money.

Maybe the problem could be an elongated chain working in a new cogs cassete?

I have the same "problem" straight out of the box. Seems like it is a "feature" of the electromagnetic resistance.

In that case, what would be an easy go-to solution for that?

Thank you

I also experience it at high resistance. I have 105 cassette and group set and on last 3 gears it doesnt feel as smooth as lower gears. Any solution to this would be of great help. Thanks.
