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 YESOUL R1 Plus ist ein Multimedia-Rudergerät für Einsteiger: Die Magnetbremse läuft so leise, dass du abends in der Mietwohnung trainieren kannst, und der drehbare 21,5"-Bildschirm spiegelt Apps vom Smartphone ohne Abo. Der Haken liegt in der Mechanik: Bei harten Zügen wackelt das Gerät, und die festen Fußpedale geben wenig Halt. Für ruhiges Ausdauertraining taugt es, für Intervalle nicht.
Pros
- Magnetbremse und kugelgelagerter Sitz laufen auch bei zügigem Tempo fast geräuschlos
- Drehbarer 21,5"-Bildschirm in Full HD, auch für Training auf der Matte
- Spiegelt Smartphone-Apps wie Peloton oder Netflix per Kabel ohne Abo
- Gleichmäßiger, runder Zug im mittleren Widerstand
- Hochgeklappt nur 100 x 55 cm Stellfläche, mit Transportrollen
- Aufbau in rund einer Stunde, Rahmen weitgehend vormontiert
Cons
- Feste Fußpedale, ohne Schuhe sitzt der Fuß in Tests nicht sicher
- Wackelt bei kräftigen Zügen und Sprints wegen geringem Eigengewicht
- 100 Stufen am Drehrad sind mitten im Intervall mühsam zu treffen
- Kein interaktives App-Training, Puls nur per separatem Brustgurt
- Widerstand oben heraus begrenzt, Watt und Kalorien nur geschätzt
