Verdict

Pros & cons

Der Christopeit Sport Colorado verbindet einen 13-l-Wassertank mit acht elektronischen Magnetstufen und klappt auf 75 x 52 cm zusammen. Aus unserer Sicht ist er ein wohnliches Fitnessgerät für Einsteiger, die zwei- bis dreimal pro Woche rudern und den Widerstand während des Trainings nachregeln wollen. Der Haken: Zugelassen ist er laut Anleitung nur bis 120 kg, und Fachtests fehlen bislang.

Pros

  • Hybridwiderstand aus 13 l Wasser und 8 elektronischen Magnetstufen
  • Magnetstufe während des Trainings am Computer verstellbar
  • Klappbar auf 75 x 52 cm Stellfläche, mit Transportrollen
  • Kinomap und Hersteller-App per Bluetooth, kein Abo für das Gerät
  • Pulsempfang per Bluetooth-Brustgurt für Training nach Pulszonen
  • Bambusrahmen fällt im Wohnzimmer weniger auf als Stahl

Cons

  • Belastbarkeit laut Anleitung nur 120 kg, Shopangabe nennt abweichend 130 kg
  • Keine Watt- oder Widerstandswerte je Stufe, Kalorien nur geschätzt
  • Steuerung der Bremse durch Kinomap nicht belegt
  • Pulsgurt und Bodenschutzmatte nicht im Lieferumfang
  • Bislang keine Fachtests und kaum Erfahrungsberichte

Das Skandika Rovek ist ein sehr leises Magnet-Rudergerät für Einsteiger, das zusammengeklappt und ohne Sitz nur 28 cm hoch ist und unter viele Betten passt. Für ruhiges Ausdauertraining in kleinen Mietwohnungen halten wir es für eine gute Wahl. Der Haken: Es zeigt keine Watt und keine 500-m-Zeit, und für Sprints ist der Widerstand zu schwach.

Pros

  • Zusammengeklappt und ohne Sitz nur 28 cm hoch, passt unter viele Betten
  • Sehr leise dank Magnetbremse und Gurtzug, auch für späte Abende
  • Doppelschiene sorgt im Test für kippelfreien, ruckelfreien Sitzlauf
  • 98 cm lange Schiene für Nutzer bis 195 cm
  • Pulsempfang für Bluetooth-Brustgurte und Kinomap-Anbindung
  • Aufbau in rund 30 Minuten dank Vormontage

Cons

  • Keine Watt-Anzeige und keine 500-m-Zeit für Leistungstraining
  • Widerstandsniveau nur mittel, für Sprints zu schwach
  • Betrieb nur mit Netzteil, Aufstellort braucht eine Steckdose
  • Schmale Zugstange und tiefe Sitzhöhe von 28,5 cm
  • Kinomap steuert den Widerstand nicht, Vollversion nach 30 Tagen nur mit Abo
