High cadence required during short sprints in ERG mode - Vortex smart

I picked up my 12wk FTP builder today. I have untill now really happy with the Workout and ERG mode on my Vortex Smart.

Today however I ahad to pedal really fast to rech 410W in 10s. I had to increase cadence from 85-90 range upto 140 rpm. This feels like a Chris Froome attack.

On the other parts of the ride ranging from 135 to 220 W the ERG mode works fine.

 

Dit something change during the last update? Has anyone similar problems?

I had the same problem with my KickrSNAP.

The resistance was pretty much non-existent.

Not only did I need to spin out in my tallest gear for sprints but the maintaining a consistent low power on the “off” intervals was nigh on impossible.

I disabled ERG mode as a result and have been enjoying the workouts since.
