I have played around with power matching for intervals but don't like the feel personally. Same with extended intervals on Zwift or TR, i have to compensate knowing that inside is quite lower than the quarq. It is frustrating for zwift races as i know that 7% off during a minute at 600w is a big difference. I have a V3 Kickr and it reads 5-7% under both of my Quarq's. I previously used trainerroad and luckily they came out with an option to use a secondary power meter e.g. With the newer firmware, my v1now reads 5-10w over. Only until they changed the firmware last year to modify the way it read power did he issue get resolved for the most part. I have a v1 and all emails to support would be denial and to do spindowns until the cows came home. Until they brought out the newer versions. This has been well documented in the past and long denied by kickr Lennyk wrote:Many first gen kickrs read 20-25w over, There could be a solution that will work for you. I tried putting in a number into the offset and it was not as accurate as just power meter control.Р”Р„long with some of the other responses my point is don't give up just yet. However, I find that the Kickr still drifts pretty bad at times or it is not as consistent daily as the Quarq.

Once I applied that firmware update it brought the Kickr and Quarq power very close, but I still use the power meter to control the Kickr.Р”Р„nother option for some of the applications is being able to apply an offset in the application that supposedly brings the two closer together. Another thing that happened was in one of the firmware updates for the original Kickr to change the mode in how it determines power or at least from my understanding. In the program it allows me to use the power meter as the controller and the data source. There are several applications that now provide these options and I have been using PerfPro for my training. It works for me as I have a dedicated Quarq on a trainer bike. One of my first options before the applications saw a need to provide a solution was to record the Quarq on a Garmin Edge, let the Kickr control the session and then use the Quarq data in WKO for a more accurate and consistent data source. Skip ahead to current day and I have gone from a very disappointed buyer to being very content.

Lot's of us were trying to figure out how to manage the difference. You could have been part of a very long Kickr owner thread back that spanned from the fall of 2014 into 2015.
