I am lucky enough to have a career where employees need to maintain fitness and all work locations have gyms. Recently they have invested a lot of money into new gym equipment and one of these is a Wattbike. Can anyone tell me how the power compares when they use a pedal based pm on a Wattbike. I …

I use a wattbike a lot. The Wattbike is good. A reported +/-2% accuracy, si ad good as most DC rainmaker tested the Atom have a look here [image] Wattbike Atom In-Depth Review It’s been just shy of three months since Wattbike announced their new Atom unit, which was designed to compet…

Wattbikes I’ve used always came in high relative to my Kickr (two diff gyms multiple bikes). FTP came in at 285 last test I did on one then 265 on my Kickr under a month later (granted one was 2x8 vs ramp test, so clearly an extremely scientific data point - but even then I know I couldn’t hold 315 …

I’ve been using a wattbike pro for months now, vs using some vector pedals once, power accuracy seemed about the same. Wattbike clearly care about accuracy a lot more than say, technogym

Just so I’ve got this right - looking at the mean max power curve, compared to the pedals, up to around 470W the Wattbike reports slightly lower than the pedals. However above 470W the Wattbike reports higher? By what looks like quite a margin at some points? One may be able to conclude that the …

Power on my Wattbike Atom seems to be about 10% lower than on my bike using a Stage Gen3 left side only crank meter So 300w on the Atom feels like 330 does on the bike Admittedly not a scientific approach but that how it ‘feels’

Did you ever get to do another comparison? I’ve not been able to find a video on it.im concerned as I have just recently got the atom and tested against my P1 dual pedals and the Atom consistently reads about +8% over the pedals at all watts tested so far. I’m confident as I can be with my P1’s due…

what type of PM is on the wattbike atom? Optical?

@gpl - yes this is definitely the same as my own personal experience. IE: My stages LH power meter on my bike compared to my Atom I’d say the ‘power’ on the Atom does ‘feel’ subjectively about 10% harder - however I should have probably caveated this observation by stating the obvious: it could als…

Just to add another personal experience: I did a couple of ‘10 mile’ TTs on a WattBike (original, not Atom) with my assioma pedals (dual side), both times average power was equal to within a few watts/ < 2%.

Used a wattbike for most of my workouts in 2019 at the work gym, then moved to a kickr due to CV19. I noticed Kickr felt harder. I then did my first ramp test on Kickr with 4 weeks gap and i had no change in FTP on the ramp test. So whilst not scientific, based on perceived feel and that i didnt go …
