TrainerRoad’s ramp test estimates Max Aerobic Power [MAP] (best one minute power from the ramp) and takes 75% of that estimate as the rider’s FTP. I’m one of those riders that consistently has an FTP that’s more like 70% of my ramp-based MAP so my FTP is generally set a little high & I’m constantly…

A better (for me) ramp test

I’m similar to you (ramp overestimates). Tried the Half Monty out of curiosity.

Came closer to FTP (~2% overestimate instead of 4%) and given threshold HR was pretty spot on. So could be an option for you.
