Bluetooth® Cycling Sensor Ecosystem

SuperCycle communicates with standard Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) cycling sensors.

  • Power Meters: Single-sided and dual-sided crank/pedal systems (Favero Assioma, Stages, 4iiii, Garmin Rally) with Left/Right power balance.
  • Speed & Cadence: Pair separate or 2-in-1 combo sensors. Calculate distance travelled using Bluetooth speed sensors.
  • Heart Rate Monitors: Chest straps, optical armbands, and smartwatches broadcasting BLE heart rate (e.g. Garmin watches, Polar, Wahoo, Coospo). Apple Watch is also supported using the third-party HRM Heart Rate Monitor app.
  • Battery Level Monitoring: Monitor battery levels for supported connected Bluetooth sensors.
  • Audio Alerts: Sound alerts notify you when sensors connect or disconnect without taking your eyes off the road.

Supported Bluetooth Standards

Any Bluetooth sensors that follow these standards are supported.

Cycling Power Service (CPS)

Instantaneous power (watts), cadence, and balance from single and dual-sided power meters.

Cycling Speed & Cadence (CSCS)

Wheel speed and crank cadence from standalone speed sensors, cadence sensors, and 2-in-1 combo sensors.

Heart Rate Service (HRS)

Continuous BPM monitoring from chest straps and optical armbands. Some smartwatches that broadcast HR, like Garmin smartwatches, are also supported.

Rolling 30s 4th-power physiological stress weighting and cumulative training fatigue tracking.

Normalized Comparison

Accurately reflects the physiological cost of hills, intervals, and races compared to simple average watts.

Reliability Free & Pro

Interrupted Ride Recovery & Data Protection

While no mobile app is immune to crashes or operating system closures, SuperCycle minimizes data loss by frequently checkpointing ride telemetry to disk.

  • 60-Second SQLite Checkpoints: Telemetry is safely committed to local disk storage every 60 seconds. If the app or phone shuts down unexpectedly, data loss is minimized to the most recent checkpoint.
  • Crash Resilience: Active ride telemetry and statistics are committed directly to your device's local database throughout the ride, protecting your recorded workout data.
  • On-Device Storage: All checkpoints remain 100% on your device, ensuring complete data privacy and offline reliability with zero cloud dependency.

Data Integrity

Crash & Corruption Protection

Keeps your ride files safe and intact even if your phone runs out of battery, crashes, or shuts down mid-ride.

Smart Pause & Resume

Prevents fake top speeds and messy map lines if you travel in a car, take a train, or move around while your ride is paused.
