CYCPLUS Cycling Speed and Cadence Sensor
Looking for a small, simple sensor that works with almost everything? This magnetless unit measures either speed or cadence (S/C switch) and connects via Bluetooth and ANT+ to bike computers and apps like Zwift. It’s compact (38 × 29.5 × 9.5 mm), light (9.2 g), and dust- and water-resistant (IP67). It uses a CR2032 coin cell with long life and includes bands and pads to mount on a wheel or crank. Setup is quick: mount it, choose the mode, pair, and calibrate wheel circumference. It offers a wide measurement range for speed and cadence and reliable behavior for training and ride logging. If you swap bike or wheel, it may ask to re-pair or to toggle the mode; it’s wise to name the sensor and check the switch before heading out. Ready in minutes.
- Easy installation and mini form factor: elastic bands, magnetless design, and a one‑minute mount. Tip: name it in your bike computer to spot it instantly.
- Broad, stable connectivity: Bluetooth and ANT+ with bike computers (Garmin, Wahoo, Bryton) and training apps like Zwift; pair and ride without hassle. Note: calibrate your wheel circumference.
- Long battery life and minimal upkeep: CR2032 is easy to replace, no cables or chargers; months of peace of mind. In short: zero stress.
- Durability and size: compact body with dust and water resistance (IP67) that handles varied rides without drawing attention. Lama tip: use the shorter band for a snug fit.
- Speed and cadence not simultaneous: the mode is dual but exclusive; if you need both metrics at once, use two units of the same model. Simple, effective fix.
- Occasional re-pairing when changing wheel: sometimes you must re-link with the head unit or app after moving it. Name the sensor per bike to save steps.
- Occasional spikes in speed reading: rough roads or nearby magnets can cause irregular readings. Check placement, band tension, and wheel circumference.
- Small S/C switch: easy to leave it in the wrong mode when in a hurry. Quick check before rolling out and you’re set.
- Magnetless mount and low-profile design.
- Broad compatibility with devices and apps.
- Long-lasting, replaceable coin cell.
- Dust and water resistance for versatile use.
- Strong value for money in its class.
- Can’t output speed and cadence simultaneously.
- May require re-pairing after moving it between wheels.
- Speed readings can be irregular in some scenarios.
For riders who want reliable data without fuss—from weekday city rides to road or gravel training. Also fits smart-trainer users on Zwift who want stable readings without relying on indoor GPS. Lama tip: save two wheel-size profiles on your head unit and switch with one tap when you change tires or rims. If you like to travel light, hate cables, and want a “mount-and-go” solution, this sensor fits like a llama in single file. Tip: add a second sensor if you insist on seeing speed and cadence at the same time; you’ll have a well-rounded setup.
Good average rating and strong “Happy Llamas” signals back its performance within its category. It’s built for training, route logging, and app use without headaches, with clear setup and minimal maintenance. The sensitive point is simultaneous measurement; the mitigation is straightforward: a second unit, or prioritizing the key metric for the day. Why postpone it if you can have solid data now? Decide today, avoid detours, and stay focused on pedaling. See price and availability by clicking the “View Product” button.
