TACX Satori and Powertap power values

The following is data calculated by someone using a Satori turbo trainer with a Powertap wheel engaged in order to give much more accurate power to speed values

Tacx Satori Power / Speed Test Results

Power@      15km/h      25km/h    35km/h       45km/h
Speed mph  9.5mph     15.5         22               28

Resistance 1 38             70            110               145
Resistance 2 42              75           114                159
Resistance 3 46             95             132              186
Resistance 4 50             112           178                250

Resistance 5   75     150       230          320

Resistance 6 95              192           295                  375
Resistance 7 125            240            370               480
Resistance 8 150            295           438                560
Resistance 9 175            347            510               660
Resistance 10  190         365             545              720

The resistance set to 5 is what I use on the turbo as that gives the best 'turbo ro road' feel
The turbo figures are still a little hypothetical but at least the consistency can give indications of fitness levels and abilities to sustain a power output .
