Conducting an FTP Test

Before you can conduct a test to determine your functional threshold power (FTP), you must pair a chest heart rate monitor and a power meter with your device (Pairing ANT‍+ Sensors), and you must get your VO2 max. estimate for cycling (About VO2 Max. Estimates).

  1. Select Menu > My Stats > Functional Threshold Power > Do Guided Test.
  2. Follow the on-screen instructions.

    After you begin your ride, the device displays each step duration, the target, and current power data. A message appears when the test is complete.

  3. After you complete the guided test, complete the cool down.

    Your FTP appears as a value measured in watts per kilogram, your power output in watts, and a position on the color gauge.

  4. Select an option:
    • Select Accept to save the new FTP.

    • Select Decline to keep your current FTP.
