Standing exercise Bicycle data / sensors & the Race
-
Suunto Race (and Vertical) can be configured to connect only to one sensor per type. Meaning that if you have two bikes with different power meters, you need to reconfigure the power meter connection when you change the bike you will ride. Or if you use a couple of different HR belts, you need to reconfigure every time you want to use another belt than the currently configured.
You can connect an HR belt and a speed/cadence or power meter concurrently, for sure.
As for the usage with another platform like Rouvy, you got it right. For every data you need to be on the other platform (Rouvy on this example) and the Suunto watch and app, you need either a multi broadcast sensor, or another sensor of the same type.
Or you can make a small compromise, for example broadcast to Rouvy only the power data from a power meter because it’s the way Rouvy works, and you will get the HR data on Suunto from the watch (or from a belt connected to the watch) that’s needed to calculate all the training impact etc, but you won’t have info on the Suunto watch and app about the power, and of course you won’t have the distance and speed from Rouvy to the Suunto.

@George-Katsanos, as for the specific example you gave about speed and cadence, maybe someone else can answer, I have a combined cadence/speed sensor on one bike, but I see only “Pair bike POD” on my Vertical so maybe you are right for this specific configuration.

@mlakis I’m considering https://www.tradeinn.com/bikeinn/en/wahoo-speed-and-cadence-sensor-combo-pack-rpm-bt-ant-/138462950/p?id_producte=14584966&country=gr or https://www.suunto.com/de-de/Produkte/PODs/Suunto-Bike-Sensor/
any clue if they’ll work with multi-broadcast? -
@George-Katsanos, I think that a multi-broadcast speed and cadence sensor does not exist. And why you need one?
- If you’ll just use a “dumb” trainer then the speed/cadence connects only to watch
- If you’ll use Rouvy, then Rouvy needs either a smart trainer or a power meter
I have a Lezyne speed/cadence sensor, like the Suunto one on the 2nd link. The sensors on 1st link won’t do as they are separate sensors, combo refers to the combo-pack, meaning you buy them together.

@mlakis is that replacing a pedal of any bike?
-
@George-Katsanos, it’s not a pedal.
It’s a sensor tha you attach on the left chainstay of your bicycle, and then put one of the the two magnets supplied on the left crank arm, and the other one on one spoke of the rear wheel.

@mlakis if you can share a photo I’d appreciate it!
