  1. Anyone know if the power curve listed on 1up's site is accurate? According to the numbers they show for the KK and their own model and the power curve listed on KK's website for their own trainer, the numbers are drastically different. Take 18mph for example...on KK's graph that represents around 205watts whereas 1up's website states 18mph produces around 150watts onKK's trainer. While I am concerned with the power curve for the 1up, I bring up the KK numbers because the 1up numbers seem low. Both graphs can be seen here:

    1up Power Curve

    Thanks,

    The KK simulates a 1% uphill road grade. The 1up simulates a 0% road grade. That's a measurable difference in the power to speed relationship.

  3. Your right the KK numbers on the 1up chart don't match reality I have been doing 26 minute intervals at about 215 average watts 18.4mph average speed on the KK speed to power computer. Using the KK calibration formula 18.4mph equals 219 watts. kurtkinetic.comcalibration chart.php The 1up chart puts 18.4 between 150 and 171 watts.😕

    Ya thats almost my story to a T. I have been doing 60ish minute intervals averaging around 18.3mph and according to the 1up chart that is not even 180watts...basically pitiful... 😕
