Huge error in power and ERG target

MDGr over 5 years ago

Folks,

New Neo 2T owner here, Vortex previously.

The power signal when in ERG mode is awful:

When compared to the Vortex this signal is all over the place and more than 10% off from the ERG target.

0.0.36 firmware. Please advise.

The power graph is looking like this because it is your real power, your cadence is fluctuating, the pedaling isnt smooth and circular, thats all. The Vortex is showing fake ERG power chart (showing the target as a straight line) and not your real power output. Try to pedal smoother with steady cadence and the power chart will be smoother (but never will be totally straight , 2-3watts up and down is always happening with perfect pedaling style also)

Are You doing the ERG workouts on small ring front (and middle at rear) or on big ring front?

ERG workouts on small chain ring; the flat line is the workout target. Better detail here:

Power line is ok bacause there is no power smoothing enabled.

Would you mind sharing one of your ERG workouts for me to compare against?

Ok, i'm using Neo since 5 years and have smooth pedaling style (outdoor also) but everybody is able to reach this smooth chart with lots of practice.

Thank you; really appreciate this. Looks like mine.

Thank you; really appreciate you sharing your workout.

Very smooth, absolutely unlike the others I've seen. You must have a perfect pedalling style, did you take some time off the tour de France to reply on this forum?

from what device do you play the workout , also, can be because is an noticeable difference between Neo and Neo2T?
