Troubleshooting Zwift ride data accuracy problems with power meters



Riding style impacts calibration in ways that can’t be ignored. If sprinting introduces spikes in power readings while endurance pacing leads to fluctuations, what exact metrics should we be monitoring to truly capture these variations? Are we tracking the right data to account for differences in terrain and riding conditions?

When considering torque and cadence, how do these factors interplay with the calibration of both crank-based and pedal-based systems? Do certain systems inherently handle riding style variations better, or is it more about the rider's habits?

Given all this, how can we untangle these complexities to ensure that power data remains reliable across different riding scenarios?
