Elite Suito issue after calibration/update

Hi,

I’ve owned my Elite Suito for 3 years and up until a recent calibration, it was working as it should.

I did a calibration in the myEtraining app and after that the resistance was incredibly harder than it was before (200w now feels like 300w). Then I tried updating the firmware in Upgrado but that did not help or correct it.

I’ve tried riding in myEtraining for 10 minutes, no change or correction.

Zwift is also just as difficult as the myEtraining app - the resistance/watts seem 30-40% harder than it should be.

ERG mode in Zwift will not track properly either. I had it set for 105w and was spinning around 80rpm - I was not trying to go hard but was doing 210-220 watts and if I lightened up to try and do 105w it would just lock up and not allow me to do 80rpm at 105w. Elite customer service has not helped so far. They told me I was going too fast?? How does that even make sense in ERG mode, it should self-correct. I was also in a gear that should have been fine so that wasn’t hindering its ability to track properly.

The trainer was completely fine before the calibration - so I feel like it is a software issue. Nothing I’ve done has been able to reset it back to the way it was. I’ve done 10-15 calibration attempts in the myEtraining app, I tried in Zwift as well. I deleted the apps, restarted them, made sure I was only using one device. Nothing has helped.

It’s like they’re pushing me to go grab a Zwift Hub… but I’m trying to get a proper solution because it seems like this is silly and should be fixable.

I would contact Elite support via their website It sounds like a hardware issue with your trainer, which Elite can help you with.

Yea, I do have a ticket open with Elite right now. Unfortunately they have not been a help so far and takes them a full day just to give me a very general response, the last email they were explaining ERG mode to me like I was doing something wrong… It’s winter here and now I’ve lost 3 days on the bike. Really bummed about it.

I can’t seem to find an exact solution in the forums so I thought I’d see if anyone else encountered this issue after a calibration or had a quick fix.

I hope that Elite get up to speed on your problem soon.

Hi @Aaron_Smith3. It’s Juan here from Zwift. I appreciate you took ownership of this space to post your concern. It seems the issue is coming from the trainer itself. I deduced this because the behavior is the same in the other apps. Zwift numbers in-game are based on the data transmitted from your trainer

Despite this, I took a look at your account to figure out whether I was able to detect any findings on our end. Unlucky, everything looks good. No connection disruptions are coming from your trainer, the game version is updated, and the Bluetooth signal strength is strong. Your trainer firmware version is number 197. I’m not quite sure if this is the latest. Nonetheless, as you mentioned that you updated it, I assume that it is.

The piece of advised from @Steve_Hammatt is a well-thought step to try. It was my pleasure. If there is anything else we can help you with, please let us know at zwift.com/contact-us.

@Juan_Lopez10 thanks for looking into this for me. I did just do another ride in Zwift/ERG mode and it seemed to be responding this time but the power still seems off in free ride. The higher watts I go the further off it feels - example, some of my workouts would have me do 415w at 45 seconds, multiple times. When I tried to even reach 400w now, I can’t even hold it for 5 seconds. Same for the elite myEtraining app. I will continue to reach out via Elite support to troubleshoot the issue because I believe it is a trainer issue, not zwift. Thanks again.

Hi Aaron,

I got the same issue with my Elite Suito T. The support send me a new electronic board, but the problem remained the same. Did you get sufficient support by now?

Best regards,

Julius

My Elite Suito-t cant do the calibration annymore on Zwift. When starting the calibration run down and clicking next. Rhe program starts at “stop pedeling” and the error.
What can i do?

Don’t calibrate on Zwift. Use the Elite myEtraining app to calibrate.

Hey Julius - I did end up getting mine to work again. I don’t know what exactly did it - but after riding it for about 20 minutes or so in Elites myetraining app it eventually corrected itself.

In between getting it to work, I unplugged it for a while. I also attached some power meter pedals to it.

What steve said. Use the myEtraining app made my elite. If the power seems off - just keep going for a while. Mine eventually corrected itself after a few days and about 20 minutes using that elite app. Not sure why the calibrating caused my issue to begin with, but my Suito works again.
