Conducting an FTP Test
Before you can conduct a test to determine your functional threshold power (FTP), you must have a paired
power meter and heart rate monitor (
Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 51
).
1 Select
> My Stats > Power > FTP > > FTP Test > Ride.
2 Select
to start the activity timer.
After you begin your ride, the device displays each step of the test, the target, and current power data. A
message appears when the test is complete.
3 Select
to stop the activity timer.
4 Select Save.
Your FTP appears as a value measured in watts per kilogram, your power output in watts, and a position on
the color gauge.
Automatically Calculating FTP
Before the device can calculate your functional threshold power (FTP), you must have a paired power meter and
heart rate monitor (

NOTE: The estimate may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires a few rides to learn about your cycling
performance.
1 Select
> My Stats > Power > FTP > > Auto Detect FTP.
2 Ride at a steady, high intensity for at least 20 minutes outdoors.
3 After your ride, select Save.
