The most common cause for the ANT dongle not to be detected is another application using the ANT USB dongle in the background. Please make sure there are no applications (such as Garmin Connect, Zwift, etc.) running in the background. 

  • Please unplug and plug in your ANT USB dongle after you have closed all background applications then start RGT Cycling again

  • Please also try a different USB port
