PeteHski Ok. I have Zwift on an older laptop that used BLE 4, but I use my BLE 5 equipped iPad because I thought the 2x faster data rate of BLE 5 reduced latency, but ai may be wrong about that, particularly since I have a ‘16 Kickr, which may be on BLE 4 and incapable of faster transmission anyway. Finding out that info an the Kickr seems hard.

Anyway, I’d like to upgrade to a new Kickr (or v2 Kickr Bike, really) and use the wifi connectivity for super low latency connection. I don’t see notable output wattage discrepancies between my old-school, “dumb” PowerTap bike numbers and my Kickr (almost exclusively on Zwift), perhaps because I never coast, so it’s not concern there driving me to upgrade, but rather the desire for crisper response in Zwift…well, and quieter operation.

Come to think of it, though, I have recently tried a few robopacer rides, really for the first time in earnest, and find it nearly impossible to stay with the group, either overcooking it despite really low power, or having wild power input demands that cause ridiculous yo-yoing off the front then off the back. There seems to be an art to it which I’ve far from mastered, or I’m just seeing latency more clearly since I’m in a bunch. Dunno. I tried races when they first came out too and had similar problems which I put down to a lack of fitness, but maybe it involved something else.
