Virtual Trainer - Tacx iFlow and Power question

[RoboLuke]

Does the iFlow give power data back the the Software (Catalyst)

The Vortex does but I cant see on the website if the Flow does...

Sales guy at the shop says no...but Id like a hubber opinion.

I think this sentence may be creating some confusion.

My understanding is that the iFlow is a standalone trainer without PC interface utilising Calalyst.

It can however be upgraded to a virtual trainer which does.

Let me rephrase - With the upgrade and the SW...will you see you power readings?

 

If so - then basically the only diff between the iFlow and IVortex is that the iVortex is wireless...and can add more resistance for training?

Sounds about right.

I believe the iFlow gives power reading as standard without Catalyst.

The upgrade allows for virtual videos while catalyst allows for preprogrammed sessions and data saving/analysis.
