Hi all, Does anyone know if Zwift’s ERG mode is “different” than TR’s ERG mode? I’m running a 2018 Wahoo Kickr with Favero Assioma pedals. I just recently started riding in Zwift again and noticed more knee pain in ERG mode, I’ve never experienced that on TR. On top of that it feels much more li…

maybe the power match? I dont know if zwift has that concept…

[image] Joelrivera: I dont know if zwift has that concept… Yes, Z has their one version of Power Match (trainer resistance set based upon power meter data). That said, the implementation of that as well as ERG in general may well be different, and lead to the difference in experiences menti…

I only use zwift on free mode… because i have TR for ERG… he is probably using the new power match, which is better (at least how i feel it) than the old one.

Yes, PowerMatch 2.0 in use for the TR session is likely, because I think it is the default in all apps now. From what I have read, PM2.0 is far better than the old TR one, that was still regarded as better than Z by many people. So it seems Z may have fallen another step behind with the release of…

I just need TR to release an elevation profile mode and I would be set to quit zwift! (elevation profile where i pick how much virtual elevation and I can ride free mode using that profile)

Not exactly what you are asking for, but have you done any simple Resistance (or Standard if you have Wahoo over BLE) with shifting for control? That is a ‘dumb’ way to have a “fixed resistance” that you can then dictate. Resistance doesn’t work as well as Standard, based on comments I have read. …

My idea is similar… is basically a wo where you change the resistance, not necessarily the power… So maybe mimic a 3% incline resistance but i can set the power i want to ride on… That way we could input a wo similar to race routes or big climbs on race routes… I really dont care about zwift as …

I guess, plus practice the feeling of climbing. I live in a place where a 65 mile ride yields 500 feel of elevation gain… But I race on a place that 42 miles = 2200 feel of elevation… ( NEW 2020 GFT 1/3 Bike - A bike ride in Clermont, FL ) :man_shrugging:

ERG mode on Zwift =/= ERG mode on TR?
