To connect a heart rate monitor to your cycling computer via ANT+ , you will want a sensor that supports dual-band (ANT+ and Bluetooth) connectivity . This ensures it communicates seamlessly with your dedicated bike computer (like 
Garmin, Wahoo, or 
Hammerhead) while also giving you the flexibility to pair with a smartphone or indoor training app (like 
Zwift) if needed.[1]
