Kickr TSS vs target TSS

[fukawitribe]

I’m curious about the exact 1 Watt difference, and how that’s being calculated. Do you have the Kicker Erg mode smoothing enabled ?

NB. Not the Systm X power smoothing, the Kickr one that gives those weird straight lines

Power Smoothing

If you go into the settings for your Kickr bike I suspect you’ll have ERG mode smoothing on. This basically sends a value of your ERG power target (say 200w) to SYSTM regardless of what’s going on. It creates nice neat graphs, but is misleading as to what is really going on.
