YES!!!! We have had the new bike for a little over 2 weeks and I feel like I'm riding in mud. I thought my calibration was off. I requested a service call. I actually got someone to come out in about a week. Once he got here he said he no one had been trained on the new bike and no one told him he was coming to look at the Plus. He told me they would order me a new bike. I got the link, but when I click on it to set up delivery I'm told there are no deliveries available. I have sent multiple emails and no response. I'm actually on hold right now to speak with someone again at Pelton. It is SO frustrating!!! I just want this one fixed, I don't need a new one. Why would you send out the new bike if no one is trained to work on them yet?

Reading the first paragraph of this . . . sounds like it does auto calibrate.

Asow,

But here's the punchline:
Still, this is a darn impressive set overall. I know that may not be obvious, since I tend to focus on the nuances of where things went wrong – but let me be super crystal clear here: This is more accurate than either the Wattbike ATOM 2020 or Stages SB20 Bike. It’s also on-par with either the Wahoo KICKR Bike or Tacx NEO Smart Bike (though, the Tacx Bike took countless months after launch to fix, the Peloton Bike+ worked out of the gate). Again however, do NOT convey the Bike+ accuracy to the original Peloton Bike (non-Plus).
I too am an avid cyclist and switched to a Bike+. The "original" Peloton bikes are mechanically (vs digitally) calibrated. Honestly, the power outputs are all over the map. My riding crew used to descend on the Peloton 23rd Street studio in the winter months to compete with each other, and it didn't take us long to realize that some bikes were "doped". It only matters if you want to compete across the Peloton platform (versus you-against-you), and it certainly makes a mockery of the current Leaderboard. If you want to get a sense of this, just look at virtually ANY final Leaderboard standings and you will see IMPOSSIBLE outputs!
So, here are my suggestions: 1) If you're competing with friends, make them all upgrade to P+
; and 2) As I and others have suggested many times already, Peloton should consider: a) offering a separate Leaderboard for P+ riders that want to opt-in, and b) having Peloton instructors ride P+ bikes during classes (for the Auto-Follow crowd).
Meanwhile, the weather's improving, so we will be outside crushing it on the road anyway! Look forward to seeing you out there!

Peloton Bike+ (Plus) In-Depth Review
The Peloton Bike/Bike+ (and associated platform) is by massive margins the most popular consumer fitness bike in the world, and largely for good reason: It just works. Every…single…time. But up until the Bike+, there were elements that weren’t as polished.
