What Bluetooth sensors do you recommend?
Any standard Bluetooth Smart (BLE) heart rate, speed, cadence, power, and trainer / indoor bike sensor should work just fine with Cadence.
While all standard Bluetooth Smart sensors should be compatible, below are sensors that have been confirmed by users to work with Cadence:
Heart Rate Monitors
- Polar H10
- Wahoo TICKR
- Garmin HRM Dual
- Moofit
- Polar OH1
- Magene H303
- Apple Watch (View more details)
- Fitbit Charge 6
- Garmin Forerunner 245, 945, VivoActive 6, and other newer models that can broadcast heart rate over Bluetooth are compatible. Garmin keeps a list that supports Bluetooth broadcasting. There’s a good guide about setting up heart rate broadcasting at DCRainmaker.

- And all other standard BLE (Bluetooth Smart) Heart Rate monitors.
Speed and Cadence Sensors
- Wahoo Blue SC Speed and Cadence Sensor
- Wahoo RPM Speed and Cadence Sensors
- Magene Speed or Cadence Sensor
- Coospo Speed or Cadence Sensor
- Moofit Speed and Cadence Sensors
- Bontrager Duotrap S Speed/Cadence
- Elite Misuro B+
- Zwift RunPod
- Garmin Speed Sensor 2 and Cadence Sensor 2 is no longer recommended on iPhone: there seems to be a system-level bug that occasionally pops up for iPhone users where Garmin sensors will connect but only show “N/A” as the value. This happens system wide with all apps (e.g. Wahoo), and it’s fixed by doing a complete system restore. If the restore is from an iCloud backup, the issue remains. Until this bug is fixed these sensors aren’t recommended for iPhone users.
