Hi Community,
My Kickr V6 is acting up in ERG mode, and I need your help! Instead of holding steady power, it’s doing the opposite – my watts are dropping way below target, even though the resistance feels fine.
Think 170w interval… but I’m seeing dips to 90w, 100w, etc., with no noticeable change (I think a 50 w drop would be noticeable, but at this point i don’t know anything any more 
) in how hard the pedals feel. It’s like the power reading is glitching downwards. My old V5 (which I replaced because of power issues!) used to be smoother.
The question: Is this normal for a Trainer in ERG? Anyone else seeing power drops (not just fluctuations) below target?
Quick facts:
- Kickr V6 (brand new, replaced a V5)
- ERG mode only
- Power drops below target, resistance feels consistent
- Firmware updated, spindown done, tried BT &Wi-Fi, multiple apps.
- iOS

Any ideas? Interference? Software bug? Faulty trainer? Help me solve this mystery! Thanks!
