Viewing Your VO2 Max. Estimate

Before you can view your VO2 max. estimate, you must put on the heart rate monitor, install the power meter, pair them with your device, and go for a ride (Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate).

NOTE: The estimate may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires a few rides to learn about your cycling performance.
  1. From the home screen, press Down arrow symbol to view the VO2 max. glance.
    NOTE: You may need to add the glance to your home screen (Viewing Glances).
  2. Select the glance.

    Your VO2 max. estimate appears as a number and position on the color gauge.
