Strava's calorie estimates are sometimes messed up. The relationship between kj and calories should be close to 1:1 (the ratio from the Bolt is pretty reasonable). Strava seems to have some bugs when it comes to this. I can ride in, then a couple minutes later switch the bike from the default one to the one I actually rode, and the kj will be updated but the calories won't despite the fact that they are both measurements of the same thing - energy used.
