Measuring Cadence - best device?

General Discussion

Hi!

I’m new to Zwift.

I have a Garmin HRM Pro Plus to measure my HR, and Runn NPE sensor to measure speed but which of these devices would be best for measuring cadence as they are both capable of that?

Thanks!

the heart rate monitor probably wont monitor cadence, the runn npe should give you cadence provided you pair it with correctly to the cadence option

If the Garmin picks up cadence pretty accurately I would go with that. I have a Runn and found the cadence to be all over the place way too high. However that could be from extra vibrations from my treadmill. Best way to find out is try them both out see which one you think works for you.

Hi @Truan, Welcome to the Zwift Forums!
Fernanda here, part of the support specialist team at Zwift.

It’s great to know that you have two options for enjoying as a cadence sensor, I must let you know that both options are amazing, however, for pairing on Zwift game, it will be better for you to use the Runn NPE to avoid any issues when pairing, you can check the compatible devices for cadence in this Public article.

I also will advise you to check this thread in the Forums, regarding the Garmin HRM Pro as a cadence sensor.

Let us know how it goes for you!
