What Do I Need to Know About KICKR v5 Auto Spindown?

Automatic Calibration

• Why is this necessary?
• The automatic calibration removes the needs for  the regular spindown functionality, instead it continuously calibrates the KICKR throughout a ride so that your power accuracy is always correct.
• How does this work?
• We're continuously monitoring the KICKR and detecting coasting. When the KICKR coasts we are able to measure the drag in the system which allows us to recalibrate.
• Do I still need to do a regular spindown?
• No - a regular spindown is no longer needed because the automatic calibration is always on.
