Resistance systemBraking principle according to the manufacturer: magnetic (contactless, quiet), friction (felt or leather brake on the flywheel) or electromagnetic with motorized adjustment. Manufacturers also call the electromagnetic brake ECB or eddy current brake. If a motor adjusts the resistance – it adapts itself during a workout (auto resistance, auto-follow, control via app) –, this counts as “Electromagnetic (motorized)”, even if the manufacturer only speaks of a magnetic brake; “Magnetic brake” means adjustment via knob or lever.

Verdict
Pros & cons
Das Asviva S18 Pro Speedbike ist ein solides Mittelklasse-Speedbike für Fahrer bis 1,85 m, die vor allem im Sitzen trainieren. Riemen und Magnetbremse laufen leise und wartungsarm, du schaltest 24 Gänge per Taste am Lenker, und in Kinomap regelt die App den Widerstand laut Hersteller selbst. Der Haken: Mit 41 kg wenig Reserve im Wiegetritt, für schwere Fahrer und lange Sprints im Stehen gibt es stabilere Räder.
Pros
- Leiser, wartungsarmer Antrieb mit Riemen und Permanentmagnetbremse
- 24 Gänge als 3 x 8 per Tasten am Lenker, fein abgestuft
- Kinomap regelt den Widerstand laut Hersteller automatisch
- Watt-Programm hält die Leistung durch automatische Nachregelung
- Realistische Rennradposition für Fahrer von 155 bis 185 cm
- Ersatzteile und Explosionszeichnungen beim Hersteller erhältlich
Cons
- 41 kg Eigengewicht, wenig Reserve für Sprints im Wiegetritt
- Schwungmasse im Test eher gering für intensives Training
- Lenker nur in der Höhe verstellbar, nicht in der Länge
- Aktuelle Version mit Körbchenpedalen statt Klickpedalen
- Widersprüchliche Herstellerangaben zu Pedalen, Pulsgurt und Schwungmasse
Das Schwinn IC3.5 ist ein leises Indoor Bike für App-Fahrer mittlerer Größe: Magnetbremse und Riemen laufen ruhig, die elektronische Skala bis 100 lässt sich exakt wiederholen, und die Daten gehen per Bluetooth an Zwift, Kinomap oder Peloton. Den Widerstand stellst du aber selbst ein, denn eine Steuerung durch Apps ist nicht belegt. Dazu kommen nur 113 kg Belastbarkeit und eine knappe Ersatzteilzusage.
Pros
- Leiser Lauf durch Magnetbremse und Riemen, auch für dünne Wände
- Elektronische Widerstandsskala bis 100, Werte exakt wiederholbar
- Daten per Bluetooth FTMS an Zwift, Kinomap, Peloton und JRNY
- Steht laut mehreren Erfahrungsberichten auch im Wiegetritt ruhig
- Kombipedale für Turnschuhe und SPD-Radschuhe
- Kein Abo-Zwang am Rad selbst, Plattform frei wählbar
Cons
- Keine belegte Widerstandssteuerung durch Zwift, kein ERG-Modus dokumentiert
- Belastbarkeit laut Hersteller nur 113 kg
- Ersatzteilverfügbarkeit laut Handelsangabe nur ein Jahr zugesagt
- Konsole ohne Profile und ohne Speicherung der Trainingsdaten
- Für Fahrer um 1,60 m eher zu hoch
