RobertWhitehead Posted April 14, 2020 Share I tried Rouvy last week, I did two races. I found the "virtual vs. actual" resistance unrealistic. Initially I used my normal FTP from my 4DP metric (Sufferfest) and partook in a race. I would go up a 10% incline at a cadence of 90 - 100 and still be sitting at 10 - 11 km/h. Even if I pedaled harder, my cadence would go up but my speed & resistance would remain unaffected. The resistance was almost zero on the trainer. I then increased my FTP with over 50% for the 2nd race and still it was nowhere near what I know a 10% incline in real life actually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your FTP setting wont have an influence on the trainer resistance.Are you riding a smart trainer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoBigBen Posted April 14, 2020 Share Is it every possible for it to feel like 'real life'? SwissVan and DieselnDust 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissVan Posted April 14, 2020 Share Is it every possible for it to feel like 'real life'? Nope I have ridden various hilly routes in my area and then downloaded the same routes and ridden them virtually on Rouvy, the climbs are definitely easier in the virtual version, albeit it only slightly. The downhills are harder though, not a lot of recovery freewheeling before you stop completely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No none of that roadie hide in the bunch and win the sprint BSIts kind of like a TT, the race of truth (ignoring the e-doping) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
