It says (when it’s paired tot a NON Elite trainer, like my Tacx NEO):
The incline pieces though while roughly following the terrain with the KICKR V5 weren’t as exact, which Elite says is because they have to calculate the gradient based on the speed broadcast from the trainer (and your weight). It largely works, with it only becoming a bit wobbly when you change your speed while on an incline. Elite says that other trainers could add the gradient to their data stream, which they’ll be making available, to make that just as clean/responsive as the Elite trainers.
So I still say, it’s a Zwift issue, they should expand the pairing possibilities to both the Elite Rizer and the Wahoo Climb, just like they did for Steering.
Only bought mine (April) as LBS said they now fully supported Neo’s (I was going to buy one) - I had read the Rainmaker article which is why I was apprehensive but the boss at the LBS told the sales dude to go and show me the Elite cheat sheet that had Kickr’s, Neo’s and a few other well known trainers listed as now being “compatible”. Whether that was all sales spin or firmware differences, dunno, but I had no reason to think it wasn’t accurate in the short time I used it.
I like standards being kept out of the hands of an App maker and managed by the industry like ANT+.
It would be if zwift can send the signal so we don’t have about other trainers sending the signal.
I enjoy mine. It works decently from 0% to 12%. It’s not really accurate beyond that. If you don’t pay attention to it, you will still enjoy the climbs hammering out of the saddle.
I think I put a lot more effort with the rizer in my opinion. I’ve been picking climbing routes only as lately.
I have Rizer and Tacx Neo 1. It works well when in a race or free ride, but when ERG is on in workout mode, it barely moves.
Has anyone figured that out?
