Forecasts that already missed their window

By 3 Nov 2026, three public forecasts had passed the end of their estimated window. The original window stays in the guide. A missed window is not a new launch date.

Polar Vantage V4

Last recorded release: Vantage V3, Estimated window Apr–Jun 2026, 5 months past the end of that window.

The verified announcement dates yield gaps of 25 and 36 months. Predicting V3 from the first gap would have missed by 11 months. The estimate stays visible after it passes.

Wahoo KICKR 7

Last recorded release: KICKR v6, Estimated window Sep–Nov 2025, 12 months past the end of that window.

This follows the direct-drive flagship KICKR. CORE, SNAP, MOVE, ROLLR, CLIMB and HEADWIND are excluded. The 7 label is provisional.

Polar Ignite 4

Last recorded release: Ignite 3, Estimated window Jun–Aug 2024, 27 months past the end of that window.

Three numbered Ignite generations are recorded, but the latest is November 2022. A missed cadence window does not prove the line is discontinued or that an Ignite 4 is imminent.
