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 YOSUDA R2 ist ein klappbares Luftrudergerät mit direktem, sauberem Zuggefühl und einem Alurahmen, der in Tests fest stand. Es passt zu Einsteigern und Ausdauersportlern bis 208 cm, die mit Zwift oder Kinomap ohne Hersteller-Abo trainieren wollen. Der Haken: auf hohen Stufen deutlich hörbar, dazu ein Monitor, der die Einheit nach kurzer Pause ohne Pausenspeicher löscht.
Pros
- Direktes Zuggefühl durch Windrad mit 32 Blättern
- Aluminiumrahmen stand in Tests auch bei harten Zügen ruhig
- Zehn spürbar abgestufte Widerstandsstufen
- 136,5 cm lange Schiene für Körpergrößen bis 208 cm
- Bluetooth zu Zwift und Kinomap ohne Hersteller-Abo
- Klappbar und mit Transportrollen leicht zu verschieben
Cons
- Windrad auf hohen Stufen in kleinen Räumen deutlich hörbar
- Monitor löscht laufende Einheit nach kurzer Pause
- Halterung hält Smartphone nur wackelig, Tablet gar nicht
- Sitz wird bei längeren Einheiten spürbar hart
- Belastbarkeit von 158 kg nur laut Hersteller, ungeprüft
