COOSPO BK467 cadence and speed sensor

This compact cycle sensor from COOSPO records cadence or wheel speed to feed real-time data to bike computers and smartphone training apps, helping cyclists monitor RPM and distance during rides. It suits indoor training with apps like Zwift and outdoor use with ANT+ head units, and according to the manufacturer it alternates between cadence and speed modes when the battery is changed.

Key Points

The sensor offers dual-protocol connectivity with Bluetooth and ANT+. When paired over Bluetooth it connects to one device or app at a time, and when using ANT+ it can broadcast to multiple devices simultaneously. Switching between cadence and speed requires mounting in the corresponding position on the crank or axle, with a short LED flash indicating mode. Note that both modes do not operate at once, so the unit functions as either a cadence sensor or a speed sensor per mounting and battery-reset state.

Technical Specifications

• Name: COOSPO BK467
• Connectivity: Bluetooth and ANT+
• Modes: Cadence (RPM) or Speed
• LED indicators: Blue for cadence, Red for speed (lights for three seconds on activation)
• Compatibility: Works with apps such as Zwift, Rouvy, Peloton, OpenRider and Wahoo according to the manufacturer

Practical Tips

Attach the cadence sensor to the crank arm for RPM readings and position the speed sensor on the wheel axle for distance and speed tracking, ensuring the LED illuminates briefly to confirm correct mode. When pairing with apps, search for the device from within the app rather than from the phone’s general Bluetooth settings, as the app-based search is required for reliable detection. If you plan to use a Wahoo app, consider that it will accept only one COOSPO sensor connection at a time.

Advantages

This model keeps installation simple and is compact enough to remain unobtrusive on the bike. It supports broad third-party app compatibility which makes it useful for riders who switch between virtual training platforms and standalone bike computers. For those who need simultaneous broadcasts to multiple head units, using ANT+ offers that flexibility. Consider that the sensor will not measure cadence and speed at the same time, which may limit some multi-metric setups.
