Cycling Sensors

Wahoo cycling sensors

Small sensors, better data, safer rides. The TRACKR RADAR watches the road behind you and doubles as a smart tail light. The TRACKR SPEED straps around your wheel hub and allows you to record exact speed and distance with a computer or phone app, no GPS needed. Both run dual band ANT+ and Bluetooth, and both feed the same Wahoo ecosystem as your bike computer and trainer. This guide covers each sensor: how they compare, full specifications and the questions riders ask most.

Wahoo TRACKR RADAR bike radar and tail light
Radar + Tail Light

TRACKR RADAR

See what's coming up behind you

$249.99

An all-in-one tail light and radar that keeps you aware, visible, and in control. It spots vehicles up to 150 meters (164 yards) back and warns you on your bike computer before you hear them.

The TRACKR RADAR bike radar and tail light pairs with ELEMNT GPS bike computers and other compatible head units and watches over ANT+ and Bluetooth. Approaching cars appear as vehicle icons on your screen with audible and visual alerts, that change color based on the speed of the approaching vehicle. Dual high-intensity LEDs adjust to traffic, an accelerometer-driven Brake Light brightens as you slow, a Quick Alert Light flashes when a vehicle closes in, and Battery Saver dims the light when the road behind is clear. Wahoo walks through the moments when radar detection on a bike prevents crashes if you want the case for riding with one.

  • 150m (164yd) Detection Range
  • 53 Max Lumens
  • 20hr Max Battery
  • IPX7 Water Rating
  • 99g Weight
  • Vehicle detection to 150 meters (164 yards)

    The radar tracks vehicles approaching from behind up to 150 meters away and pushes audible and on-screen alerts to your paired bike computer or watch.

  • Smart tail light

    Dual high-intensity LEDs run steady or flashing up to 53 lumens. The light responds to approaching traffic, and a brake feature brightens it when you slow down.

  • Smart light control

    ELEMNT bike computers manage the light hands free. The radar runs a Brake Light that brightens as you slow, a Quick Alert Light that flashes when traffic closes in, and a Battery Saver that drops the brightness when no vehicles are around, stretching runtime to 20 hours.

  • Quarter-turn mount

    A quick-connect strap and quarter-turn mount with three wedge options fits round, aero, D-shaped, and flat seatposts.

TRACKR SPEED

Exact speed and distance, no GPS needed

$44.99

A magnet-less speed sensor that mounts to your wheel hub and records precise speed and distance. It works on the trainer, in the city, and anywhere GPS drops out.

The TRACKR SPEED bike speed sensor attaches to most wheel hubs up to 40mm in diameter and broadcasts over ANT+ and Bluetooth at the same time. A replaceable CR2032 coin cell runs for up to 200 hours of riding. Two LEDs confirm connection and speed detection at a glance. It works with ELEMNT bike computers and third-party cycling apps alike, though it is not compatible with most spin bikes.

  • 200hr Battery Life
  • 13g Weight
  • BT+ANT+ Dual Band
  • IPX7 Water Rating
  • 40mm Max Hub Size
  • Magnet-less hub mount

    No magnets or spoke alignment. The sensor straps to the wheel hub and reads wheel rotation directly, on almost any bike.

  • Dual band broadcasting

    ANT+ and Bluetooth run at the same time. Pair it with your bike computer, watch, phone, and indoor apps together.

  • 200-hour replaceable battery

    A standard CR2032 coin cell lasts up to 200 riding hours. Swap it in seconds. There is nothing to charge.

  • LED status lights

    A blue LED shows the device connection and a red LED confirms speed detection before you roll out.

Which sensor does what

Two sensors, two jobs: awareness of the road behind you, and exact speed and distance.
