From your close up, it seems that there are only three options.Yes, it has 165mm, 170mm, 172.5mm, 175mm options.Since the Stages bike is only simulating gearing, does it run into issue with accurately holding the same power in ERG mode when you are in different “gears”, like a direct drive trainer, for example the Tacx Neo smart trainer?There’s no option to shift gears in ERG mode.I really like the idea of a dedicated stationary bike rather the a bike-on-trainer, and I’d be sorely tempted to get one if/when it had built in motion, similar to what the Saris MP1 provides. for these products.Thanks, look forward to some words on the Atom V2, not so much on the Atom X I guess.They are hinting that with the X custom workouts will be possible. And why battery powered? Other than that i found the kickr to be gimmicky. Over time their bezels are getting smaller, so it’s possible future 12.9in models will fit in portrait mode.A 16in tablet sure would look nice on this bike, and most models out there will be ~230mm in landscape mode and fit well. And I’ve updated the power meter firmware to version 1.6.3.Just curious Ray if you, or if anyone else who has the bike, has encountered this issue.Eeks, no, I haven’t heard that. So it’s not even an issue. Not sure how well that will work, but that’s their plan.RE: Hardware for shifting vibrations in handlebars.As Dan noted, perhaps there’s a phone plan. While you can use the Zwift mobile companion app for additional sensors, I find that can be sometimes a bit flaky.It’s these same standards that also allow you to connect via head units too. It works well though, super easy to setup the extended shifters to any bars you have.Hi Ray, sorry to ask again – any chance of a looksy at the TT Bar attachments you got sent?Purchased and performed first ride. I’m confident they’ll be there if anything goes wrong. Although the KICKR Bike looks great, I cannot bring myself to spend this amount of money on a gen1 product. Thus leaving my phone to run the Stages shifting app:The tablet holder is spring-loaded and easily fit my iPad both vertically or horizontally.

What app OS are you trying to use – mobile or desktop, and then which OS?I could see there perhaps being some FTMS issue (semi-common in the industry) over Bluetooth, but I’d be super surprised if desktop over ANT+ FE-C is broken there.IOS 13.5.1 on my Iphone XR and Ipad Pro 3rd gen.SB20 connects to Rouvy just does not control.Gotchya, so in that case it’s using FTMS (via Bluetooth).In general FTMS is pretty stable these days, and since it seems to work without issue for both TR & Zwift, my guess here is that this is more of a Rouvy issue (since I can just about guarantee Zwift isn’t doing anything special as a one-off for Stages). So much so that I even made a full review video on it. So, I was in some groups and sometimes by myself – just chugging along.Now on the above chart, for fun, I left two different recordings of the Stages Bike.

Like the Tacx Bike, they’re in a good spot and have reliably powered all my things without issue.

Our tablet holder was designed for iPad Pros, which has an opening of 270mm and will fit any iPad model in landscape, and even some in portrait such as the 11in and smaller ones. The maroon color is the pedals, with the blue as Stages bike.

Especially is there an option to quick change saddles?There’s no way I can see to quick-change saddles, but perhaps I’m missing something.Does anyone know if this Kickr bike has the ability, perhaps via a firmware update, to give left/right leg balance at some point in the future? That’ll probably help me make up my mind on whether I go for that or the Stages Bike.Tacx bike is a non-starter as it cannot be adjusted to fit my vertically-challenged wife. These were ostensibly put there for when Zwift wanted to enable steering/veering. Wattbike seems to have the least (or, executed upon it the least). The Stages SC3 is the global leader in premium indoor cycling. I’m having issues with freight right now getting my order. Point being they mirror each other. These brakes don’t stop the in-game avatar in Zwift (or any other app), but will stop the flywheel when held.

Laser-etched scales for saddle height, reach, and stack allows you to always easily change between different rider’s setups.This smart trainer bike's Gates Carbon belt drive is maintenance-free, with no need to oil or lubricate components and the electronic resistance has a maximum range of up to 3,000 watts at 120pm - more than enough for even the most capable professional sprinters. Mostly because of the delays there. An adjustable integrated tablet holder allows an easy setup for Zwift and other 3rd party training apps.

However, as of yesterday I tried a new beta firmware update that brings back the dual Bluetooth Smart bits. So if I’ve got a target power of 313w, it’ll range anywhere between ~285w and 335w.
