Dual ANT+ and Bluetooth is what keeps a sensor usable across head units · review
A dual-protocol speed and cadence sensor at the same entry price as the Magene, mounting with an elastic double-sided band and no tools.
Our conclusion Functionally the Magene at the same price, with less published about it. Take whichever is in stock.
CYCPLUS’s sensor sits at exactly the same price as the Magene and does the same job with a shorter specification sheet.
Speed and cadence measurement, Bluetooth and ANT+ transmission, and installation with a supplied elastic double-sided band requiring no additional hardware.
Dual protocol is the specification that matters most, and it is here. What is not published is battery life, water ingress protection, or the mode-switching arrangement — all of which the Magene in this hub does state.
That is not evidence of a worse product. It is less information, and we report the difference rather than assuming the specifications are equivalent.
The elastic band arrangement is the current standard for good reason: it takes seconds, holds well, and can be moved to another bike without unbolting anything. It is also the part that perishes first, so a spare band is worth having.
Buy it as the second sensor when you already run one in the other mode, or as the sensor for a second bike. At this price, having both bikes instrumented is a smaller decision than choosing between two nearly identical products.
A listing is not an offer: the reference exists on these stores, availability changes daily.

No. CYCPLUS states installation with an elastic double-sided band without additional hardware, so there is no spoke magnet to align.
It broadcasts on Bluetooth and ANT+, which covers phone apps and the great majority of dedicated head units.
7.8/ 10
Functionally the Magene at the same price, with less published about it. Take whichever is in stock.
A second sensor to pair with the first, or a spare for a second bike.
Specifications: the manufacturer sheet for bike gear and the matching Amazon product page. Prices and availability: Keepa. Every figure on this page names its source.
Speed/cadence · Bluetooth and ANT+ · IP67 · app compatible
A dual-protocol speed and cadence sensor with a published IP67 rating and stated compatibility with Zwift, Rouvy, Ride with GPS, Peloton and Wahoo apps.
Best for: Indoor training, where named app compatibility and a sealed housing both earn their place.
Both sensors · ANT+ and Bluetooth 5.0 · on-board storage · hub mount
A bundle of both sensors, storing distance on board so rides record without a head unit present, over ANT+ and Bluetooth 5.0.
Best for: Garmin users who want both measurements, and anyone who wants rides logged without carrying a computer.
≈ $125
Dual mode speed/cadence · ANT+ and Bluetooth 4.0 · magnet-free
The best-selling sensor in this hub: one unit that switches between speed and cadence mode by reseating the battery, broadcasting on both ANT+ and Bluetooth.
Best for: A first sensor, or a pair of them, at the price of a set of brake pads.
≈ $17
