FTP drop with new equipment. Retest to confirm or keep going?

  • Yes, most likely the Vortex values are inflated. This is based on the majority of Vortex users I have seen add a power meter or switch to a more accurate smart trainer.
  • We can’t really answer that.
  • Probably this option, UNLESS you really feel you underperformed in the test and left something on the table. That is NOT looking at the FTP and not liking a “drop”. It IS thinking about your full effort and any potential negative influences prior to, or during the test.

You should have retested immediately when you change equipment. As of now, you have a test with that new equipment and can use it to move forward.
