Compatible Devices and Sensors

TrainerRoad supports most Bluetooth Smart and ANT+ sensors, including trainers, heart rate monitors, power meters, and speed/cadence sensors. This page will help explain which devices should work with TrainerRoad, along with how you can check yourself if your training device isn't listed here.

Keep in mind that this list is not exhaustive. If your trainer or device is not listed here, that does not mean you are out of luck! Check out the "How do ANT+ and Bluetooth standards work" at the bottom of this article, and reach out to our support team if you have any compatibility questions.

If not otherwise marked, devices below are compatible over both Bluetooth and ANT+. 

Protip: open up the dropdown menus below, then press Ctrl + F (cmd + F on Mac) on your keyboard to quickly search for your device's name.

How do ANT+ and Bluetooth Standards work?

While browsing training devices online, you’ve likely seen things like “Bluetooth Smart” or “ANT+ FE-C” mentioned and wondered what these mean. 

In the early days of technology-based training, each device or company used its own sort of “language" to communicate between the device and the training software. For example, Trainer A and Trainer B might both communicate using ANT+, but how all of their information was packaged to us would differ - meaning we would need to add support for both trainers individually. As indoor device options grew, this became quite a struggle.

This issue led to the creation of Bluetooth and ANT standards which (you guessed it) standardized how data is sent and received. These two standards are Bluetooth Smart, and ANT+ Fitness Equipment-Control (FE-C). 

Instead of each company making their own ANT or Bluetooth protocol, companies can now choose to use Bluetooth Smart or ANT FE-C and know that their device will work on a multitude of platforms.

HR monitors, Cadence sensors, and Power meters all have their own versions of a Bluetooth and ANT standard protocol.

If you see that a trainer or other device is marked as "Bluetooth Smart" or "ANT+ FE-C", it should be compatible with TrainerRoad. 

If you are still unsure and would like to double-check your trainer or other devices' functionality, feel free to reach out to us at support@trainerroad.com.
