What is a Cadence Monitor?
Cadence monitors track cadence or ‘revolutions per minute’ (RPM) which is interchangeable in the cycling world. Cadence is basically how fast you are pedaling, measured in RPM. One revolution occurs when the pedal makes a complete 360-degree cycle.
When you’re cycling, cadence is typically referred to in RPM. Throughout your workout, you’ll likely hear instructors call out specific cadence or cadence ranges for you to target to either push or pull back your pace.
Your cadence can help with your performance, recovery, and beyond. On the bike, knowledge is power. When you know your cadence, it helps you to be in control of your ride, making better progress towards your goals.
A cadence monitor is a great way to track your cadence in real time. While many indoor cycle bikes may have a cadence monitor, they don’t all give you the option to Bluetooth connect to fitness apps to keep track of your stats, workouts, and progress over time.
The Sunny 2-in-1 Cadence + Speed Sensor will allow you to not only track your cadence but connect your bike with the SunnyFit® app and other fitness apps of choice to give your workout experience a tech boost.
