FAQ

Do I need a Garmin computer to use the Garmin Speed Sensor 2 and Cadence Sensor 2 Bundle?

No. Both sensors broadcast over ANT+ and Bluetooth Low Energy, so they work with Garmin Edge computers and cycling watches, and with any app or device that accepts a standard ANT+ or Bluetooth LE speed or cadence signal, including Zwift for indoor training. The speed sensor can also record rides on its own and sync to the Garmin Connect app with no head unit at all.

How do the Garmin Speed Sensor 2 and Cadence Sensor 2 mount to a bike?

The Speed Sensor 2 straps to the hub of the front or rear wheel with a rubber band, and the Cadence Sensor 2 wraps around the non drive side crank arm with a rubber band. There are no magnets and no exposed parts to align, and both sensors move between bikes in seconds. Two band sizes are included to fit different hubs and crank arms.

How long does the battery last in the Garmin Speed Sensor 2 and Cadence Sensor 2?

Each sensor runs about 12 months at one hour of riding per day on a single user replaceable CR2032 coin cell. When a battery gets low the sensor LED flashes red, and you can swap the cell yourself without any tools beyond the twist off cover.

Does the Garmin Speed Sensor 2 work indoors on a trainer?

Yes. Because the Speed Sensor 2 reads actual wheel rotation instead of GPS, it gives accurate speed and distance on an indoor trainer, and it pairs with Zwift and other apps over Bluetooth LE. Paired with the Cadence Sensor 2, you get real speed and real pedal RPM from the bike itself rather than an estimate.

Best For

Best for the rider who already trains with a Garmin or a computer and wants to add true cadence and reliable distance without fiddling with magnets, and for anyone building an indoor setup who needs real wheel speed and pedal RPM feeding Zwift. If you swap between a road bike, a gravel bike, and the trainer, the band mounts make moving the sensors around effortless.
