👎 Cons

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Sigma STS cadence sensor waterproof enough for riding in heavy rain?
Yes — it carries an IPX8 waterproof rating, which means it's tested for continuous submersion. Rain, puddles, and post-ride hose-downs won't affect it.
Which Sigma bike computers does this cadence sensor work with?
It pairs with the BC 14.16 STS, BC 14.16 STS CAD, BC 16.16 STS, BC 16.16 STS CAD, BC 23.16 STS, and all previous Sigma models equipped with STS pedal cadence sensor capability.
How much weight does this sensor add to my bike?
At just 0.02 kilograms (20 grams) for the full kit, it's virtually unnoticeable — you won't feel it during climbs or long endurance rides.
Does the cadence sensor require wiring to the bike computer?
No. The STS system transmits wirelessly, so there are no cables to route along your frame or worry about snagging on trail debris.
What's included in the kit and how difficult is installation?
You get the cadence transmitter and a spoke magnet. Installation is straightforward — mount the sensor on the chainstay and attach the magnet to a crank arm. No tools beyond basic zip ties or included mounts are needed.
