Reviews over the

Garmin Speed Sensor 2 and Cadence Sensor 2

Bought this set for my second bike. Both cadence and speed sensor are easy to install and pair. Signal stability is also fine.

Pros & Cons

Very happy about both sensors - should have bought a lot time ago

Pros & Cons

Easy to attach to the bike and easy to pair with your garmin

Pros & Cons

Ordered and delivered neatly a day later. Installation on the bike is very simple. With the included plastic "straps", you easily mount the speedometer on the axle of your rear wheel and the cadence meter easily on your left crank (the non-chain side). After that, the connection is just as easy. Start up bike computer, let it search for the sensors and 3 2 1, connected. The black colour and minimal size make the sensors almost unnoticeable when installed on the bike. If I had to name a drawback at all, it would be that the sensors work on a button cell and are not rechargeable. Only in use for a few weeks now, so unfortunately can't say anything yet about how long the button cell lasts. Now I have the possibility to read my speed and cadence on my bike computer while cycling, very nice!

Pros & Cons

Does what it needs to do, good product from Garmin

Pros & Cons

No hassle with plastic cable ties that don't position the magnet stably on a modern beveled crank or sliding the sensor to get the two magnets in the right place and distance. Now if Garmin would also mention the number you see on your bike computer when pairing on the sensor, that would be handy.

Pros & Cons

Easy and quick to install together with Garmin 830 edge

Pros & Cons

easy to install

Pros & Cons

Are easy to apply to the bike. Multiple sizes of straps are supplied for the crank, so it always fits in terms of crank width. You can easily see whether they are active by turning your pedals (cadence) or your wheel (speed): the light flashes green for a while. Then you know whether they are working. Garmin Edge 130 plus recognised them immediately and pairing them was really easy for a digital illiterate. The measurements seem very accurate. I also really got a lot out of the cadence meter (in addition to speed and heart rate). A fine asset when training. The speedometer is very nice because the GPS measurement for speed near trees is not good and comes out lower. In short, a real asset. I do find 2 sensors a bit pricey compared to the price for the whole Garmin Edge 130plus. But I do feel more confident buying sensors from the brand itself at Mantel, rather than a B-brand at budget online shops.

Pros & Cons

Accurate, easy to attach and link, also with other brands

Pros & Cons

Product is small and very light. is easy to connect and attach.

Pros & Cons

Both sensors are very easy to pair with a bike computer ANT+ and Bluetooth. Mounting is very fast by using rubber elastics. Disadvantage: these can break imperceptibly over time is my experience. Therefore, I put a tie-wrap around the sensor. The battery, a 2032, can be replaced by hand without tools.

Pros & Cons

Immediately installed and went biking.

Pros & Cons

The speed sensor has a simple attachment, but it must sit on the wheel axle. As a result, you get the feeling that the sensor may well come loose. Easily solved with a colson strap. Otherwise fine quality.

Pros & Cons

Great set for upgrading home bike trainer. In conjunction with Garmin heart rate monitor provides all required metrics during the rainy days home training. No issues so far, everything works as expected.

Pros & Cons

Works just fine and also good connection.

Pros & Cons

Quickly delivered easy to install and automatic calibration

Pros & Cons

Bought as a second set of sensors with the Garmin pack for the other bike. Quickly mounted, quickly paired with the device. Absolutely a must if you love numbers, both on the road and afterwards. Ideal as a training aid.

Pros & Cons

Very nice product and fully meets my expectations. Assemble and connect once and don't worry, the rest goes automatically.

Pros & Cons

Everything as expected, easy to place and connect. More accurate with speed

Pros & Cons

Works super well with the Hammerhead karoo 2!

Pros & Cons

As a data analyst, all the extra date is more than welcome! In combination with my Edge 130 it works fine. I do feel that the battery life of your navigation is shorter because of the connection?

Pros & Cons

After 500km, no negative experience yet.

Pros & Cons

Easy to apply and pair sensors with a clean design. Since I only use them on garmin equipment I can't comment on how the pairing is with "foreign" equipment.

Pros & Cons

As expected from Garmin, they just provide top notch equipment that can be mounted quickly due to the many types of rubber bands that come with it. The pairing with the Garmin 820 of mine, went so fast, I was even surprised

Pros & Cons

To take my cycling to an even higher level, I purchased the "Garmin Speed and Cadence Sensor 2. Ideal gadget for when you want to train more towards the optimal 85-90RPM. It connects effortlessly to my Garmin Edge530 and has the added advantage of making me look a lot more professional with these devices on my bike. It's all about the looks ;)

Great pairing of cadence and speed sensor,picks up right away.

I ordered these when searching through other reputable sites were sold out. I placed the order being skeptical at first and after a few days sent a note with regards to shipping to Ireland. The response came back almost immediately, courteously explaining their shipment process and actually left me at ease. I couldn't recommend Mantel highly enough. I have ordered a few items from them since.

Pros & Cons

Excellent units. More compact and keeps bike looking good.

Pros & Cons

Simple to install and a breeze to connect to devices. Provide the additional data on your rides and can be transferred from bike to bike in minutes. Be careful not to snap the rubber fitting that holds the cadence sensor onto the non-drive crank arm. You get three different sizes but only one of each.

Pros & Cons

Easy to fit, simple to connect and does the job perfectly. Connected to my iPad to use Zwift, and my Garmin VivoActive 3 watch. Would highly recommend!
