Recumbent (chair-style)

Resistance systemType of brake and how it is adjusted: magnetic via rotary knob (manual), magnetic via console (motorized) or induction for the finest gradation. Manufacturers also call induction ECB, eddy current or electromagnetic brake – even when “magnetic brake” is in the name; the motorized magnet is also called SMR or digital resistance. If the resistance adjusts itself during a workout (auto resistance, auto-follow, control via app), the adjustment is motorized – never “Magnetic, manual”.

Verdict

Pros & cons

Der Domyos EB Seat Connected ist ein halb liegender Heimtrainer mit Rückenlehne und motorischem Magnetwiderstand in 15 Stufen. Er läuft rund und leise und passt Menschen von 1,50 bis 2 m und bis 150 kg. Brustgurt und 5 Jahre Rahmengarantie sind solide Pluspunkte. Der Haken: keine Wattsteuerung, keine Wattanzeige, der Sitz lässt sich nur in der Höhe verstellen, und für harte Intervalle ist das 6-kg-Schwungrad zu leicht.

Pros

  • Bequeme Halbliegeposition mit Rückenlehne und Griffen am Sitz
  • Leiser, runder Lauf durch Riemenantrieb und Magnetbremse
  • Motorischer Widerstand in 15 Stufen per Taste an der Konsole
  • Brustgurt im Lieferumfang für genaue Pulsmessung
  • Freigegeben für 1,50 bis 2 m Körpergröße und bis 150 kg
  • 5 Jahre Rahmengarantie, Ersatzteile 10 Jahre lieferbar

Cons

  • Keine Wattsteuerung und keine Wattanzeige, Belastung hängt von der Trittfrequenz ab
  • 6-kg-Schwungrad wirkt bei hoher Intensität zu leicht
  • Sitz nur in der Höhe verstellbar, keine Längsverstellung
  • In Tests gelegentliche Bluetooth-Abbrüche mit Apps
  • Nicht klappbar, braucht dauerhaft 163 x 68 cm Stellfläche

Der Domyos EB520 B ist ein leiser, vernetzter Heimtrainer ohne Steckdose, bei dem Kinomap über Bluetooth FTMS den motorischen Widerstand an Steigungen selbst nachstellt. Er taugt für Einsteiger und lockeres Ausdauertraining in der Wohnung. Der Haken: Der Serien-Sattel schmerzt schon nach 30 min, der Q-Faktor von 22 cm ist breit und Watt fehlen ganz – plan einen Ersatzsattel und einen Brustgurt gleich mit ein.

Pros

  • Läuft ohne Steckdose, Standort frei wählbar
  • Kinomap steuert den motorischen Widerstand über Bluetooth FTMS
  • Sehr leiser, runder Lauf durch Riemen und Magnetbremse
  • Tiefer Einstieg und stabiler Stand auch bei hoher Trittfrequenz
  • Ersatzteile laut Hersteller bis 10 Jahre lieferbar, 13 Baugruppen selbst tauschbar
  • Empfängt Bluetooth-Brustgurt für genaue Pulswerte

Cons

  • Serien-Gelsattel im Test schon nach 30 min schmerzhaft
  • Q-Faktor von 22 cm breit, ungünstig für empfindliche Knie
  • Keine Wattanzeige und keine Wattsteuerung
  • Laute Pieptöne beim Anfahren und Anhalten
  • Sattel nur in der Höhe verstellbar, Höchstwiderstand für Sportler zu gering
