“Aerodynamics “ and “height” are aspects of speed. Therefore they are already considered in the power. Power is work done overtime so anything that affects time will already be a component of power.
The main difference is weather conditions. Strava does not take into calculations that your riding against the wind hence your generated power is bigger
i live in thew aslps and found hat on steady efforts up steap climbs the estimate is quite accurate usually less than 5 watts of my mates power meter who weighs about the same as me, but on the flats ist totally worth less
Excellent and very important video! Thanks for the experiments you did. How is the Magene power meter holding up so far and is there a detailed review coming? Thank you 🙂
Thanks! It’s holding up well so far, no complaints from me. I’ll be making a review soon, I’ve got an exam next week so currently revising for that, but once that’s over I’m going to get back on track and hopefully make more videos 😂
So I'm riding an MTB and I have the feeling that the calculation doesn't add up. If I ride an MTB at an average speed of 22 km/h in a lot of wind, it is about 85watts. If someone covered the same distance on a racing bike at an average speed of 24 km/h, that would be around 150 watts. I think it should be about the same since an MTB needs a lot more power to reach the same speed
@@JMower thanks. I now have solved the Problem. At the beginning I selected my bike and thought this would be used for the calculations. But I have to select my bike for every activity by myself after I uploded the Ride
Great video, straight to the point and exactly what I was looking for. Like you, I’m pleasantly surprised with the Strava estimates
Really happy with this one, great video idea!
great and helpful analysis esp for rider without powermeter like me. thank you for sharing

Dont you need to output more power to maintain the same speed in headwind ?

Agreed Strava don't take the weather in to account.
It’s a component of speed which affects time so wind is already considered in the power.

There's a setting on strava that lets you choose the type of bike you have, make sure that's set to MTB, I think it defaults to road bike

Soooo basically, with half my rides being under 100W should really have HOOJ gains to look forward to?🤔😂 God this made me feel terrible haha
strava power estimate is way way off .. it sucks
