Works with your trainer
Cadence connects over Bluetooth to your smart trainer, power meter, heart rate strap and cadence sensor. You don't need an extra app or dongle: just your laptop or computer, in Chrome or Edge.
Smart trainers and smart bikes
Cadence controls your trainer: the gradient of the course, or the power of your workout in ERG. That works with every trainer that speaks the Bluetooth standard FTMS, and also with older Tacx and Wahoo trainers that have their own control.

Is your trainer not listed? Check the box or the manual for "Bluetooth FTMS". If it says so, it works. On a Zycle, FTMS sometimes has to be switched on first; Zycle does that through its own app or support.
Power meters, heart rate and cadence
- Power meters with Bluetooth: Favero Assioma, Garmin Rally, Stages, 4iiii, Quarq, power2max and Shimano. Your trainer keeps controlling the resistance, the meter on your bike says what you pedal.
- Heart rate straps with Bluetooth, such as the Garmin HRM, Wahoo TICKR, Polar H10 and CYCPLUS. Also a watch that broadcasts its heart rate: a Garmin with "Broadcast Heart Rate", or a Suunto Race, Race 2 or Vertical 2 with the latest software.
- Cadence sensors with Bluetooth, such as the Wahoo RPM, Garmin, Sigma, Magene and CYCPLUS.
- Buttons on your handlebar over Bluetooth for virtual shifting, and your phone as a remote.
Training apps
- intervals.icu: connect your account, and every ride goes there by itself, while your planned workouts show up in your calendar in Cadence.
- Your ride as a file: after every ride you download a .fit file. You can add it to Garmin Connect, TrainingPeaks, RUNALYZE, tredict, Xert, Final Surge and most other training platforms.
- Workouts in: Cadence reads .zwo, .erg, .mrc and .fit workouts. So you can ride workouts from TrainingPeaks, TrainerDay, Xert, Athletica, SpeedVille, Final Surge, or from your own library.
- Your old rides in: FIT, TCX and GPX files from your Garmin or Wahoo can be imported, so your form and your power curve are right from day one.
What you need
- A laptop or computer with Bluetooth, with Chrome or Edge. Nothing to install.
- A smart trainer or smart bike, or a classic trainer with a power meter on your bike.
