Bluetooth Speed and Cadence Sensors for Zwift.
Garmin speed and cadence sensors can be fitted to your bike’s crank hole, chainring, or inner side of the right crank, providing real-time performance data around your cycling exertion in regards to revolutions per minute (RPM). The speed sensor measures speed, distance, duration, and gradient and can be attached directly to your wheel hub. Sometimes these exist as separate devices and sometimes they are one unified device. In this article, we have featured three such sensors
- Garmin Speed and Cadence Sensors
- Wahoo Speed and Cadence Sensors
- Some other mid-market bluetooth performance tracking sensors.

As you move from beginner to Amateur/Hobbyist and you are competing regularly in events with a view to ranking well and improving times and finishing positions you may want to make use of performance tracking sensors. Training theory dictates that elite cyclists pedal faster than beginners due to them having developed muscle and endurance through controlled cadence. Higher cadence pedaling creates better results for endurance training and muscle building and measuring the rpm of pedaling can only be achieved with a cadence sensor. The Wahoo Speed and Cadence sensor can help you track performance and train more effectively.
What features should you look for when choosing a speed and cadence sensor for your bike?
- Connectivity options including ANT+ to connect the device to your bike computer/indoor trainer
