FTP Numbers in Aero TT or Standard Road Position

Training
2

For most people:

  1. Yes, a low aero position will yield a lower “effective” FTP.
    • Your actual FTP is whatever it is, but your ability to apply that can and is often compromised with lower positions.

Not really. We have seen ranges from no difference to 20% lower. I am about 10% lower eFTP in my Tri position.

This power delta something that can be narrowed with focused work in those lower positions. How much a person needs to work on that varies on their experience and goals.
