My FTP Dropped from 269 to 232?! 😳 Wattbike Atom vs Zwift Ride

I've made the switch! 🚴‍♂️ After years of Zwifting on my Wattbike Atom, I've finally moved over to the Zwift Ride with Wahoo KICKR CORE. But there was one BIG surprise… My FTP on the Wattbike was 269 watts. I jumped on the new Zwift Ride, did an FTP test and… 👉 232 WATTS! 😳 That's a drop of 37 watts — nearly 14%! So what's going on? Was my Wattbike Atom reading high? Is the Wahoo KICKR CORE reading lower? Do I just need time to adapt to the new bike? Or have I genuinely lost that much fitness?! In this video I take my first proper FTP test on the Zwift Ride and find out where my fitness currently stands. I'd really like to hear from other Zwifters who have changed smart bikes or trainers: Did your FTP change when you switched equipment? Drop your experience in the comments — especially if you've moved from a Wattbike Atom to a Zwift Ride/KICKR CORE. And if you're another fifty-something cyclist trying to get fitter, faster and more competitive on Zwift, subscribe and join me on the journey! 🚴 NiftyFiftyZwifty #Zwift #ZwiftRide #WahooKICKRCORE #Wattbike #FTP #FTPTest #IndoorCycling #CyclingOver50 #NiftyFiftyZwifty
