Garmin 920 wahoo kickr

Yes, you should be able to use the 920XT to pick up the ANT+ power signal from the Kicker.

Works perfectly fine together. I use both together. The 920 also picks up my cadence sensor too. I also have it connected to my laptop for trainer road.

Yes works fine. The Vo2 max works so long as you workout at at least 70% of max HRM for (I think) at least 20 minutes. Hubcaps, did you do anything special to get the garmin to pick up cadence? I got the Wahoo BluSC . . . the Kickr picks it up, but my Garmin won't.

Just be aware of it's accuracy. It's kind of like the 30 day weather forecast :-)

So are y'all saying the 920 should pick up power from my kickr with no other accessories?

Yes, it should.

. . . but my Garmin is telling me that I could run a 3:27 marathon, and I really want to believe it!

tell you what. Save the $500 on the Garmin. Send me $400 and I'll tell you that you are able to go 3:25. $10 for every minute faster you want :-). I take Canadian dollars so it's a good deal.

If you look at what is required info to get an accurate VO2max number you wouldn't trust it.
The recovery is "interesting" but if I listened to it, I would train 2x per week. But what is cool is it knows when I ran 2x in a day because during the 2nd it says I am not fully recovered.

FYI, for me it measures over 20% low. I have been tested in lab twice
On ST, Coggan is saying it measures his close to 20% low (50 vs high 50s) and another guys says it's close for him. So very much like the 30day weather :-)


The 920 has kick a$$ features, but VO2 and recovery are not 2 of them

so based on what yall are saying, the HRM may not be very beneficial to have. Might save on that.

The HRM is very beneficial if you are using HR data to train or race.

The Vo2max functionality is less useful. If that's the reason you are buying the HRM, I would save your money

But some (including me) find value in HR data. The newer 920xt straps have other features such as ability to swim and capture HR and running metrics. One has to decide if those are something they want.

Great! Thanks for that input. I don't know that I would use those metrics so I think I'm gonna save my money like you said.

I just had my 920 search for a speed and cadence device. I have some off brand ant+ device that I got really cheap. i don't think it was even sold here in the States.
I'm wondering if the problem is that the wahoo is capable of both ant+ and bluetooh and can only transmit one at a time.
