Dual ANT+ and Bluetooth is what keeps a sensor usable across head units · review
A bundle of both sensors, storing distance on board so rides record without a head unit present, over ANT+ and Bluetooth 5.0.
Our conclusion The complete answer, at four times the price of the cheap route. The on-board recording is the feature that justifies it.
Garmin’s bundle is the premium end of this hub, and it earns the position with a capability the cheap sensors do not have.
Both the Speed Sensor 2 and the Cadence Sensor 2. Real-time transmission of speed, distance and cadence over ANT+ and Bluetooth 5.0 to Garmin GPS bike computers, GPS watches and other compatible devices. Recording and storage of distance on the sensor for later analysis in Garmin Connect. Recording of cadence for the same. Hub mounting for the speed sensor.
This is the feature. A speed sensor that stores distance means a commute is logged whether or not you took a computer, and the data appears next time the sensor is in range of a phone. For anyone tracking annual distance without wanting a device on the bars every day, that is the whole product.
A generation ahead of the 4.0 in the cheaper sensors here, which in practice means better range and lower power draw rather than anything you will see on screen.
Roughly four times a single dual-mode sensor, and about double a pair of them. What the money buys is both measurements without mode juggling, the storage feature, and a maker whose sensors will still be supported in five years.
A listing is not an offer: the reference exists on these stores, availability changes daily.

The speed sensor mounts on the wheel hub and the cadence sensor on the crank arm. Both are magnet-free.

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.
Speed/cadence · Bluetooth and ANT+ · elastic band mount
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.
Best for: A second sensor to pair with the first, or a spare for a second bike.
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.
